Will Anthony Duclair play again this year?
Duclair has been on 9 teams in 10 seasons and Lou thought it was a good idea to give him a 4 year deal. Decisions like this have led to mediocrity.
Sadly, the whole NY Islanders organization has been an embarrassment
It feels like the loyal NY Islanders fans just get scammed.
Just no more excuses anymore, the Islanders struggle with everything
Signing or keeping top notch NHL players, losing team in Bridgeport, team has aging players, we hear the term ārebuildingā since 1985, high food and parking fees at UBS arena, Owners and GM not passionate to build a Cup winner
To everybody who's always said that I'm too hard on the islanders, it's times like these that vindicate, everything. How about they change the name of the team to the new york cross dressers? An embarrassing pile a flaming dung.
Sadly, Roy is the only one in the Islanders organization with a set of balls.
Obviously, we don't fully know the details of what transpired on either side, which is typical. However, I'm not entirely comfortable with how Duclair is handling things. Perhaps it's just bad optics, or maybe he's still dealing with lingering injury issues, but he's been healthy enough to play. Saying he needs more time raises questions about whether he possesses the strong character required to handle the adversity inherent in professional sports. Honestly I would want more of a character that says F..Y>.. Ill show you and goes blazing the last several games with effort
There were two ways Duclair could've reacted to his coach's criticism…use it as fuel to get better OR walk away and pout. Duclair chose the latter. Another great signing by Lamoriello
I watch every game. Every season. But I think im over it for the rest of this one.
How does this work now though does he lose his contract or does this fuck our cap
Duclair he wants to be traded
If he is not healthy he should not have been playing and if he was healthy he needs to be gone as the lack of effort 90 percent of the time was not there .
I honestly think from what I saw from him this season that he may be one of the worst FA signings in Islander history. Worse than Andrew Ladd. Duclair has been awful and looks like a career minor leaguer.
Duckair basically isnt a good player cant score goals doesnt check or hit people. Where is the speed? Waste of money. Let him go. Eat the contract
Well this would free up #11 for Trevor Zegras this summer.
This is just another crack in the foundation and further proof that Lou needs to go! The wheels are, or rather have fallen off. If Lou is still the gm after this season Iād rather watch the damn rangers and Iāve been a fan over 50 years
Maybe he has substance abuse issues?
Pierre Engvall is loving this distraction from his awful play
POOR WHINY BABY DUCLAIRE CANT STAND THE HEAT AMD BOOKS ON THE REST OF THE SEASON DUE TO MENTAL BREAKDOWN …THIS IS THE PROBLEM WE HAVE BABIES FOR PLAYERS ….THABK YOU LOU FOR ANOTHER HORRIBLE SIGNING
Time for the team to be sold to hockey sense people that want to win. Then get rid of Lou and put Roy in as GM and Torts in as coach .
Groin injuries are notorious for making playing challenging… my guess is that he was cleared but is in a ton of pain, but doesn't want to let the team down by not playing. Same time though, why not just throw him on IR then? It's weird..
