Lou wanted to sign Nelson. It was only after they couldn't reach a deal that Lou delt him. Lou didn't want to trade anyone.

Yep, which is (frank)ing insane.

Like Snow Lou got forced into doing the right thing. Thank you Nelson.

Potvin being a Spurs fan you have to be able to deal with this kind of stuff. Take a Valium

I deal with this by tuning it out.

I was stupid enough to think after trading Nelson today would be a good day.

This site was unusable for months and somehow on deadline day it’s basically fine. Have the pop-ups and malware crap been taken care of?
- potvin05

No. Those companies pay Ek for the right to (frank) with us. You don’t know that?

Well, now at least you can take the train all the way to the Elmont station.........and then walk or take the shuttle bus a mile.

still crazy to think the team that is the reason i am alive (conceived may 17 1983), plays in the town where i grew up. i probably lived closer to the arena than where the parking lot is.

Coyle + a 5th for Middlestadt, Zellers and a 2nd.

The other trades have not been fully reported.

Edit: Now I just read that Boston got Minten for Carlo.
- JohnScammo

Wow for a stud first pair d Toronto stole him if this is true. We could have gotten Carlo for Palms.

Haven’t seen the Palmieri extension yet.
- potvin05

Reports are they are close.

I don't agree with it. I think Lou should've taken advantage of this market. The truth is he never wanted to sell. He doesn't value picks or unproven players.

I think it was foolish, especially after trading Nelson. That should've set off a fire sale.

It is what it is. We can do anything except start a go fund me for a "Lou must go" billboard.

It’s ok. Life will still be the same. Deep breaths and whiskey. You’ll be fine!

Yep! All Lou wants to do is blame the head coach when things do not work out. Lou's roster is great.

I’m closer than you. I sleep in my car in the parking lot. It’s my home and Uber office.

Man Aves are strong down the middle.

Yeah I’ll just keep not watching my favorite sport. It is fine, life is good when I don’t let this team bother me. See ya in October when we start our campaign to go .500 and nick the 8th spot again.

Would that be the Coliseum lot or the UBS lot?

Yup, the Avs are looking good, although I hear this new center, Nelson, is kind of soft.

It Hilarious to read on here that Lou doesn’t rebuild teams because he was hired by Toronto and the Islanders to change the direction of both teams. Including retooling.

OK, gotcha. I wonder if the UBS arena affected property values in Elmont? I recall there was some local opposition to the arena.

UBS Lot. But closer to NYC and airport runs.
Yeah he was done a couple years ago!

Maybe the isles will go on an epic run of losses and win the lotto because that's my dream for thisnl year

They are currently in 10th place. But a nice little losing streak could easily move them up to 7th.
