Starting to get the feeling that no one is buying what we are selling

We shall see. I'm fine with letting this team run the rest of the way.

Maroon is an odd pickup for Boston. They already have Frederic. Maybe he's just going to be a 13th forward.

I just donā€™t think Shane Pinto is the answer for the isles. For me, I donā€™t trade the first for Shane Pinto. I guess weā€™ll see at 3:01 with olā€™ cards to his vest Lou

I donā€™t think thereā€™s any one player out their thatā€™ll be the ā€œanswerā€ for this team. Just stating for a young talented player yes for an over the hill or player on the edge of their prime itā€™s more then likely a dumb trade for this team to makeā€¦

To be fair the rangers did a short rebuild so they drafted a lot of their lineup. Thatā€™s what Iā€™m referring too.

I donā€™t think this team could trade their first and get that ā€œpiece to the puzzleā€ that wins them a cup.

Key is having the right people that know how to draft.

It's probably the right move, honestly.

But some writer desperate for clicks will write something like "Isles deadline addition is the chemistry that teams with new players will have to begin to develop" or some crap like that

Correct. Even if the draft is not 100%, you still need good scouts and do your due diligence. You also need to find the hidden gems in UFA you can sign for a year or two.

Is Wahlstrom for Broberg something that you think would make sense or are the Oilers still high on him?

I donā€™t thunk they're too keen on him, no. And frankly, nor should we be.

Sounds like a fair trade then. Both players need a change.

Both players need to stay in the AHL.

I'm shocked sometimes that Dobson worked out.

Looks like the isles are done for the day

There isn't one trade any team made today that would put the isles over the top. Let's hope they keep the streak up and get in and do some damage. And hopefully avoid theor kryptonite the canes

Did they start at all?



I'm fine with no moves. Give this team one last run and be ready to make moves in the offseason.

The Canes were the better team last year and just added two scoring forwards to get them over the hump. Well done by them.

Canes will be real tough this year and especially if they are healthy.

Islanders could not take advantage of their injuries last year.

Matt Dumba to Tampa done. I wanted the Islanders to sign him this offseason for a year instead of Mayfield.
