I was just saying you can have 200 centers, it doesnt mean you have real depth.

But you are right, you dont need Desharnais.

How about Gionta and a 2nd for Okposo?

I would love Okposo on my team.

Clearly you haven't seen much of Okposo this season.

Thats my point, he needs new air. Like Gionta. And the second is for taking that Contract.

i agree...but all of those guys are projected (i know, its a terrible word) to be playing minutes in the NHL...JT is, Strome everyone agrees, Cizikas is doing it right now...between nelson, lee, sundstrom, im sure 1 will be able to fill the 3rd/4th line center.

as for the trade, gionta doesnt do it for me, he would be an aging vet on a team that isnt going to compete this year, therefore the 2nd rounder is the real asset but i think the isles can get more for KO...

The Islanders enjoyed a day off in Montreal yesterday.


Nice to see that Capuano thinks that they've earned a day off.

I would welcome Ruff with open arms.

If you talk about Strome, whose i dont know what position is playing, i confess i forgot about him.

But other than that, dont tell me Nielsen is a good second line center.

Well neither is Desharnias then if you think Okposo straight up is an even trade.

Desharnais is a good offensive second line center. Hell he was first line center last year with great stats.

But he is small. And he 'll fit in an already big team.

Proferssor Stephen Falkin was brilliant! Even at chess!

Wait what? You think the Isles are a big team???

4-2 Isles. Then we lose the next 3

No you are small and you will get smocked all night tonight.

I rather have KO than Gionta and that says a lot

Yesss can't wait to get "smocked"

Love when opposing fans come here to troll. As if we believe we will win or are good in the first place. We know we suck we do not need to hear about it from fans who watch maybe five Isles games a year.

the one position the islanders have depth is at center...
- LetsGoIsles

Disagree...we don't have a 2nd line center...We have a #1 center and bunch of #3 and #4 centers. It would be a big mistake to put Strome or Nelson as the #2 next year. Nelson would probably be better off as a wing and I think Strome should start off at Bridgeport next year...

How about Desharnais for Okposo??

You need a center, we need a winger.
- soad_live

We need a center like we need another minor league coach.....now, if you have a defensemen who can knock someone's helmet off in front of the net, I might be interested....

We all know you suck.

What is interesting is why you suck for such a long time??

I thought a 'smock' was something you wore when painting......

In that case, come Friday night, I plan to have a few bottles of wine and get totally smocked !

No we need that to.

I'd jump on Gionta and a 2nd for Okposo...Deshanais would be ok for the rest of this and next year. Wouldn't have to rush Strome...
