I'm a big Byrd fan. He created turnovers every year, and was a legit Pro Bowl player. However he wasn't better than Dareus, either Williams or Alonso. So I don't blame them for not keeping their 5th or 6th best defensive player for huge money

early last year, he was cleared to play and refused to, according to one of my sources

Should have moved him for a pick before last year

I agree but I hope you're wrong about Foligno but I will give him this season to redeem himself.

Redeem himself from what, a nagging shoulder injury? He'll probably start slow this year because he's on the mend from major surgery. That's why they never got on his case.

From the last two seasons 18 pts in 47 games and 19 pts in 74 games.

I'm not expecting him to light the world on fire but get me 30 pts and be the physical presence he is supposed to be and he will be a solid 3rd 4th liner for me.

A nagging shoulder injury might keep him away from playing physical but coasting around is another thing. Like I said I will give him this season to redeem himself but sounds like you are already making excuses for him and expecting him to start slow.

This ... i hope Boychuk breaks his leg ( i know it's bad to wish something like this )

but he is a huge Douche

Looks like Enroth has locked up the #1 spot for now..

After he backed down from that fight, that tells something.

If he gets injured, its last place for sure.

Still don't know why people on this site still think this team will TANK, it's not going to happen. I'm not saying we will make the playoffs but this team will not TANK.


I'would try and trade the Islanders pick we have after the deals they made today.

If they weren't tanking, they would have done something about the goaltending situation. Neuvirth is terrible.

He won't be the starter so it doesn't matter, but they won't tank.

I'm sure they will figure something out, we have enough picks and prospects to make a move if needed.

Question is do we really want to? I mean yea i get not wanting to tank and embarrass like last year but moving picks/prospects for short term gain really does nothing but hurt our chances of drafting a real game changer.

We do not have any elite prospects. Our D is gonna be good but we need an elite forward. I want to see a cup before I die, not getting knocked out of the first round, if we even get there and picking an elite 1st rounder just once.

I agree sippy, but we will still be close to the top of the draft and have a chance at the lottery.

Scorers will figure out Enroth, our young guys will have growing pains, there will be injuries, and we will trade two of our best forwards before the deadline.

Unless we have some really surprising improvements by multiple players, my guess is that we will be close to the bottom with Calgary.

I still daydream about finishing last and the Islander's pick winning the lottery.
