AO is awesome...needs a change of scenery, would cost us WAAAY too much. but....3 year window for pav/hank/ovie to get cup. would that be worth the loss to improve teams drawing power to players? hmmmm. as for the real world...trades are cool but, i can see both sides of the argument...on one hand, yea..its not worth the 1 month of "player" to risk a new young body drafted to play for years, or giving up on a few picks for a vet that "may" be good for 2-3yrs. but on the other, if you trade away a player prospect or pick on a young player, say mid/late 20's the gamble is worth the risk. i want streit/yandle/bogo on D...Streit is old, but good...if we were in better position he would be worth it only to go all in. yandle is mid aged...good solid performer...but is he the D leader? bogo is young...very worth it...but not ready to lead the D. On offense, i want burmistrov, fleishmann TODAY! fleishmann could be had for a resonable amount, emmerton/kindl or mid pick. this would be the gamble. and burmi...the coach is grumpy with him...THIS i would trade fil and pick for. so...i get it...is the juice worth the squeeze? all i know is, we need serious help on the D to lead out pass, and we need a "buddy/russian" for pav to lean him into staying on for another contract.

Alexander Ovechkin traded to Red Wings for a signed Lions hat and the rights to Lidstroms jock strap. ( the hat is signed BY lidstroms jock strap..just so ya know.)

i still have hope for streit. add another swiss boy to the team! oh yea...and burmistrov. hey a guy can hope until its over.

1. i think he has been conditioned by the "no hit league" for too long. 2. the NHL has got a look at him and they play him close. 3. top it off with a dose of too many games in close quarters,and team lacking desire... = "you get what we got here today, i dont like it any more than you like it" off season conditioning...he will be up for it next year.

flip + white + 2nd. for burmistrov + hainsey mursak + emmerton for fleishmann + 4th. q + bert are done for regular season...cola to GR for conditioning...huskins to GR or waiver until playoffs when everybody can get hurt...again. hahahaha....Q+bert.....thats funny. if your over 35. sammy & helm join later

right now, we are in the worst place to be dealing for the playoffs. the western teams dont want us better for competion...the east teams dont want us better for next year. a deal with the jets is a unique one. we are switching sides and wont be rivals. if ever a deal made sense...this should be it. now we just need that passing specialist D-man!

dekeyser to wings would make us all happy.... but its not christmas yet. everybody...put your good mojo on, and wait for it......

in my opinion..he's no leino. i never liked that guy...he always seemed...off. burmi seems to be in the wrong place...not the right type of veteran leadership to counsel him. pav used hull, yzerman, larionov, to hone his skills. i think this kid needs a mentor of the russian kind. these young kids are told their great...and shoved into the limelight to sink or swim. the wings brass know this, thats why the "over ripen" is crucial for the big stage. time in GR then 3/4th line minutes... i think he is going to be very good, with the right upbringing. he is worth the risk to acquire.

i agree...trial by fire. give him 5 games or so, to adapt...no mistakes ( or at least minimal) then re-evaluate. typical for andersson, nyquist, tatar, smith etc.

yea...maybe...i have never been a big iginla fan. i prefer burmistrov (pav winger), (streit/hainsey/visnovsky) and fleishmann (z winger) to us. mccollum, mursak, kindl, cleary, abdelkader, white, huskins, picks...expendable. but hey...its just my opinion.

i like quincey...i think he gets way too much heat for the defencive woes. hope all is well in his melon. white is back in?

i wanted this guy in our lineup 3 years ago. damn it! he will be lidstrom-like in the near future.

yup...the lidstrom/rafalski retirements really hits us hard.

all of our offence is derived from the D. if we cant get out of the zone clean, with speed, we cant enter and establish. the primary need of this team is puck handling defenseman. streit and visnovfsky come to mind. although, im not against stafford...we have enough of the muckers, and passers down low. we need snipers too. rumors are that fleishmann is in play out of florida. (fleishmann-datsyuk-brunner line) WOW. hornquist would be good as well, but nashville is in that " central division hate" for the wings = no trade. kenny knows that next year we have a whole new set of teams that will hate us...lets shop there now! acquire weiss in the off season!

yes....and yes.

please no....100 other players before him. if datsyuk has to fight him...you know he's a prick. holland....focus on dekeyser. dont get blinded by the spotlight.

stick a fork in him.

i would so dig us picking him up! but alas..your prob right. if it were me...i'd get him, streit, visnovsky, offer sheet for o'reilly. and make a run for it.

i have wanted vol here since he was in ott. he is the closest thing to konstantinov since vlad hunted the arena. give em flip or a combo of young-uns. emmerton/kindl/mursak this would get eaves back in the lineup instead of scratching.

emmerton/tatar & 3rd pick for rights....

i like them all except for lydman. i believe visnovsky's problem is...he doesnt want to be on the island...a trip to detroit would probably make him happy.

i think the cover of "final countdown" takes the cake. that was righteously better than the special teams. barely*

i bet tavares is like a caged lion...after all these years..his eyes are glazed over. the true hunt is gone. just keep pacing...just keep pacing....

dude....stop being so obvious. there is a extremely well managed syste....ahem, sorry, i cant finish that sentence. the islanders are comparable to 1990 soviet russia red army team. you dont play for russia, russia plays you. if i were kenny, i would send an unmarked bus over to the stadium with chelios to do some..."defecting" nino, streit, visnofsky..you know....parts.

brunner-kronwall-cleary-eaves EN robidas-eriksson 4-2 come on big money, no whammys.....STOP!
