    Trade deadline bait available this year?

    Gimme muh monthly @F.Michael Eastern Promises reference From my understanding it's classic Gusev/Russia syndrome. According to Isles fans the Isles literally brought in Varlamov to try to lure Sorokin over. I guess Varly and Sorokin are friends or something.

    I'm hoping we can move AA or a 2nd or something for Sorokin. But I don't think Lamoriello is gonna be bullied by the Russian kid to make a trade unfortunately...

    That's why we need to draft Askarov bro Comrie wasn't any better. Winnipeg just needs warm bodies. Watch Howard come back and have a completely average Howard remainder of the season. Would be a very Howard thing to do.

    They can keep him. They only had 3 goalies in their system before Comrie and the 2 not named Hellebuyck suck. They need the depth goalie more than we do atm. Yzerman likely knew he was going nack to the Peg if waived. That was the rumored reason Arizona traded him.

    We get it Howie/Bern = old old = bad Comrie = young young = good Even if Comrie has a small chance of becoming an NHL backup, who honestly gives a s***. Yzerman's going to move on to something better than Comrie/Bernier next year.

    Comrie is not better than Howard or Bernie right now Comrie doesn't have much, if any, future in the NHL Sounds like a formula for a player on waivers to me Watch no one claim him Comrie is McCollum or Joey MacDonald. The difference between them being if Yzerman waived McCollum or Joey Mac, no one would even post about it.

    AA vs. Mantha

    Can confirm. I played the trumpet in high school and only truly enjoy trumpeting.

    Does it even matter? I think everyone is way over-estimating the value of Comrie. Sure it was fun to get a new Yzer-trade and a new player we could use while Jimmy was down n out. But Comrie really doesn't have a future on this team or in the NHL. The Yotes were in a situation where they were gonna be forced to waive a goalie they didn't need Yzerman needed tendy depth with Howard down So Yotes traded him to Yzerman for a crappy Dman they could use for AHL D depth It's really an AHL level transaction TDLR: Comrie sucks, quit cryin'

    He did. Refused at first but eventually caved. Played like over 100 games for the Isles. Would be interesting alternate history if they didn't claim him on re-entry waivers. I could see the Wings running Nabokov/Mrazek and trading off a prime Jimmy Howard. Or they run Howard/Nabokov and Mrazek actually gets seasoned nicely in the AHL instead of being rushed up and getting a big contract too quickly. Pretty sure Vanek and Wizniewski aalso refused to play for the Islanders. The Garth Snow days were some dark days on long island

    No, it would be a record, and records are good right?

    Rumors Thread

    Interesting rumor: Friedman says on his 31 thoughts that the Islanders Ilya Sorokin (great young goalie) is trying to force a trade that takes him to a different team with less goal tending depth. Wants to go to a team in need of starter. Wants to be THE guy. Well if anyone is afraid of drafting Askarov, we look like a prime destination for a young Russian goalie like this. Sorokin is 24 and has been absolutely crushing the KHL since he was 20.

    NyqFuture would ice an all sub 23 team if he could "Zetterberg is almost 30, we need to trade him now while he still has value"

    I don't wanna lose assets for nothing, but who's to say we even re-sign Comrie. Meh. I won't bat an eye if he gets claimed.

    I don't even like Bernier, but he's better than Comrie. I like that Comrie is young but I haven't seen anything that makes me think he deserves a place over our top 2

    Comrie isn't that great and probably never will be. If Winnipeg really wants him back whatever, claim him. Glad to know Jimmy is back. He looked solid in GR during the conditioning stint. Hope he comes back renewed like he was at the beginning of the season.

    I think we have to assume we're not getting Krug. Assuming we are is like everyone getting their hopes up for Trouba last year. I think we need to draft another solid defensive building block, and either draft a premier goalie prospect or start throwing s*** at the walls there

    Hall traded from Devils to Coyotes

    Poor guy. Thought he was the next Gretsky in Edmonton. Says he only wants to ever play in traditional hockey markets. Has played for like 10 different NHL coaches. Every team he's on is so bad they win the #1 overall. Now look at him

    Trade deadline bait available this year?

    I think these are the building blocks we have: Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha Fabbri - Rasmussen - Zadina Veleno Hronek - Seider No one in net Honorable mentions: Svechnikov, Athanasiou I definitely think we can afford to shed forward depth, the net and D could both still use adding to.

    Two players on the Griffins I wanna talk about: Smith and Cholowski The good: Givani Smith looks so much better than last year, and is the exact type of forward this team needs. He's skating better and is a lot faster of all the sudden, and loves to play physical and s*** disturb. Now he's 5th on the team in scoring (behind only the vets) and is scoring at a better pace than Zadina was. I could see this kid making the team next year if Yzerman opens holes in the roster. The bad: Cholowski is straight garbage. I don't think he plays well even for the AHL at this point. After 3 games with the Griffs he has 1 assist and is already -5. His passing is plain bad and he panics the moment he's pressured. He doesn't really make up for this with anything. I get flashbacks of a $3 million dollar bone-headed Brendan Smith ******* up plays when I watch him. He has another season after this on his ELC, and I hope Yzerguy is very cautious when signing him to his next contract. Honestly Cholowski might be a good piece for Yzerman to move right now.
