REPORT: Islanders Are “Pretty Well” Done for the Summer

[BrianWestKins]

^I would too, but I wouldn't want to see it turn into a Phil Kessel like deal..

[kmo429]

^I know what you mean but a 1st and a 3rd arent quite 2 1sts and a 2nd. Either way, id take the risk. Could end up hurting us, but Isles have been too conservative anyway, last time we made a somewhat significant move was over 5 years ago..

[DannyFormo]

I'd rather trade our prospects than a potential top 5 pick

Cizikas, ulstrom, lee, Petrov, Persson, sundstrom, kioskonen, poulin, Nilsson can't all make the team

Only guys who are pretty much written for this team

Ideal team in 3 years

Niño/moulson-JT-KO/kabby/bailey
Moulson/niño-strome-Bailey/kabby/bailey
Grabs-Nielsen-ulstrom
Martin-xx-xx

As you can see, we have an influx of forwards

Guys I want are cizikas, ulstrom, kabamov, strome, niño, bailey, grabs, KO, JT, moulson, Martin, Nielsen

Cizikas and ulstrom will be good 3rd liners one day, but I'd rather have one of Nielsen/cizikas as a 3C and ten get a big checking winger

We are going to have to trade a couple prospects eventually

[DannyFormo]

And as of D

Pedan ha a great season, top 4 potential now

So we have

Top pair potential
Reinhart
2nd pair potential
Polka, pedan, mayfield, Donovan, de Haan,
3rd potential
Kitchton, ness, wishart

The rest of 2012 draft class is up in the air

Pretty much what's given at this point in 3 years is

Hammer as our 2nd defender
And Donovan, de Haan, being at lowest is 6th
Reinhart could possibly be penciled already as lowest at 7th d man
