Not according to Snow...he is the prototype of power forwards...

Garth's style of finding new talent aside of the draft is like playing keno....you pick a whole bunch of random numbers and win a small prize if a few of them hit.

The next part is weird....I dreamt this the other day and remembered it when I woke up... In the dream I was trying to explain to someone why Garth can't make trades, player for player....most have been player for draft pick but see if this makes sense to you... Garth's fascination/reliance with the waiver wire is annoying to all other 29 GM's....it's like he stands around the other GM's waiting for them to reach into their pockets for change...if a nickle hits the ground, he scoops it up and runs away...and that's why they don't like dealing with him...

While it's very tough on waiting for the prospects I do not want to hear about how we rushed kids like Bailey anymore. Isles at this stage need to find a way to have enough talent on the big club. Especially this offseason with many teams needing to get under the Cap the Isles should be able to add talent so the kids are not rushed. Snow and company will have a hard time making excuses for not being able to bring in decent talent with the Isles way under the Cap and having picks and propsects to make deals.

Truth. Being a little better may help as well.

Amazing when you can play games in the minors and get the rust out. Shame the Isles and DP did not think about this a few years ago. This whole situation was very badly botched. DP would have gotten a lot more support from the fans seeing he was trying to work things out in the minors and not hurting the big club.

Our coach & GM can't do anything right....that's why this team is where it is.
If Rick stays healthy, it's not unreasonable to think that he couldn't be a good backup. But there's a lot of "if's" in that remark.

Also have heard that D Brenden Kichton, #Isles 5th-round pick in 2011, has rejected contract offer and is likely to reenter draft in June.

#Isles soon to begin extension talks with Visnovsky, Nabokov. Both players told me that they are open to staying w/ team beyond this season.

#Isles also keeping an eye on NCAA hockey postseason -- hope to sign Anders Lee of ND and Scott Mayfield of Denver when their seasons end.

Also will be talking extension with Brad Boyes. Would indicate there's no plans to deal any of the 4 pending UFAs at 4/3 trade deadline.

Kichton currently 22-61-83 for Spokane, leads WHL Dmen in scoring. Feels he can go higher than 5th round this time. #Isles

Good News!!!

None of Lee, Mayfield, or Kichton were going to make the roster anyway.

Just saw this on twitter. Hate that rule. We got a steal and the kid is going to snub us and get drafted in the first 3 rds now.

Next year but Mayfield is very possible for 2015.

He's one of my favorite prospects, outside of the obvious.

Not Boyes too This is not a Cup team where we have to lock up everyone. We need to make room for Nino and Nelson and hopefully others. Unless KO and Bailey are going.

True...I was thinking Nelson, Strome, Nino and Donovan were the rookies that might make the big club...

Need this win...tough week ahead..Sens, Habs and Pens...yikes

If anyone believes anything this Visnovsky guy says they need their head examined.

WTF? Do they actually think this guy is a viable first line player? That guy will do nothing then hurt Tavares's stats and plus minus. enough with Boyes, the guy plain old sucks.

Boyes is a POS and if management can't see that then it says a lot about Snow's eye for talent, like he does'nt have one. That guy will do nothing but hold this team from moving foward and that first line as well.
