I agree with all of this!

I think the idea behind Amac's contract is by the time were in years 3-6 of it, the 5 million dollar cap hit won't seem so bad when looking at his contributions. This is of course assuming the cap continues to rise the way it has.

Yeah, exactly. Give him some time.

Wasn't it just the peanut that said he wanted to rebuild?
- aightwebang17


In the dark of the night at 1am yes.

Peanut also said he wasn't advocating for trading of the youth, but the pieces of this team that wont be around/productive when it is ready to establish itself as a top tier club.

Namely Hartnell, LeCavalier, Grossmann. Don't see it happening but would have no issues with the unloading of Streit/Amac.

He was really pretty good.
Except for his spin-o-Rama move at the blue line.
I hated that.

I said a few weeks ago Boyle would never sign with them. Back end of his career, why would he want to sign with a rebuilding team. Vintage Islanders.

Now that the referees are mic'd up to call penalties, the institution of coach' challenges, and the inevitable expansion in 2 years...it's becoming more and more like the NFL anyway.

I hate stoppages in play, just b/c its going to give more advertising/commercial time but I'd be down for that.

Stewie wont be too happy about it, but I'm not one that believes NHL officiating to be a strength of the league.

I think it will need to be carefully stated as to what can and cannot be a coach's decision... How far does it go? Any penalty call? And who gets the final call? Toronto? The refs with video review? Some things are pretty dang grey.

It depends on whats in play to be challenged because they already have automatic review for questionable goal/no goal calls. Penalties are all judgement calls for the most part so I dont see how that would work.
