Sacrifice the future…….how?!?
I agree, I'm not trading any young players at this stage of the rebuild. I would trade off a vet for more young players if I am making amove anytime soon.
Couldn’t agree more Gil. Keep up the great content!
Gil, I agree but there’s 1 vet on an expiring contract I’d keep. His value on the market may be the highest in getting someone back but IMO he is more valuable to the team now and for the next few years. That guy is JGP. He plays an all around game and there’s no way he cowers in the locker room and doesn’t speak up !
This year is an appetizer for what's to come
Eklund and Aitcheson remind me of Dobson and Whalstrom All bark not much bite
Sign JP and Lee for 3 years
You can also throw Bellows in their also
When you have veterans who have invested their careers with a team means the GM has to be loyal to them as well.
As much as I want the islanders to make the playoffs I would rather them tank after the holidays. We don’t have an identity and we don’t have the physical presence that’s needed for the playoffs. Build a team for the future. We’ve already waited 40 years. What’s wrong with waiting a few more.
