[kmo429]

Tavares, Strome, Nino? Cant forget Hamonic who will be a 1st pairing dman and how none of those other teams made Grabner, Parenteau, Moulson, and Montoya - like acquisitions

[beltran15mets]

relax danny the isles arent gonna be drafting first this year unless we make a trade.. were finally getting the team that we wanted this year with nino and jurcina returning so lets see what we can do now

[DannyFormo]

Kmo I was referring to just forwards drafted

And I don't really think we are drafting 1st... Imma say 21 place finish

[kmo429]

im gonna say we draft 30th this year..

[DannyFormo]

Niño is playing at bridgeport(isles twitter)

And kmo I'm guessing you think we are trading our pick with buffalo's after they win the cup?

[kmo429]

Well... Not saying Buffalo cant win the Cup but Id be shocked if they get any higher than a 6th seed.

[BrianWestKins]

kmo is smoking some good ish.

I love Buffalo too. They're like a lite version of last year's Nucks. They're deep as hell and the only difference is they don't have a choke artist tender

[DannyFormo]

Idk about you guys but I can't stop thinking about tonight's game
Sorry to jgjets on his last night as a free man he had to witness that...

Idk what to say anymore.:/

[DannyFormo]

Would you guys consider Grabner in a sophmor slump, a soFTmor slump(meaning he's playing soft) or blame his line mates?

[kmo429]

Nielsen and Okposo havent helped him out.he's the only one on that lien somehwat produciing...

Comeau heating up as trade target

08:29 AM ET 11.04 | On the surface, the Islanders are doing enough to win games, taking 34 shots on net and having another 33 blocked or shot wide in Thursday's loss -- their sixth in as many games. Josh Bailey, Blake Comeau and Brian Rolston totaled seven shots on goal and created plenty of chances, but the line has produced zero even-strength points as a trio. ... With 10 NHL scouts scattered around the press box -- Comeau, on a one-year, $2.3-million contract, would be the likeliest trade target, even though the season isn't even a month old -- the line continued to play hard but out of sync. "It's tough to get too, too down, because you know there are opportunities," Bailey said. "We need to get results."

Comeau for Rick Nash

[money millz]

Which players do you guys want the islanders to trade for ?

[kmo429]

Trade Bailey for the highest draft pick we can get... Or Package Bailey and Comeau for a top 4 defenseman. That means we geta top 4 defenseman, and offensive upgrades in Nino and Dibo.
