Wouldn't surprise me to see Kane for Fowler.

If Borgen and Guhle are the real deal, is the following defense deep enough, albeit not top end talented enough, to be the backbone of a contender?

Risto, McCabe, Fowler, Guhle, Borgen

Forwarded that Bloomberg link to a buddy of mine. He was not happy!

I'm afraid he wants them on the Island and nothing less.

I'm not a big Borgen fan, but I honestly haven't seen too much.

I think that D above has one half of one top pair defender

I'd add Fitzgerald to that list, but other than Risto and McCabe we can't say for certain that these guys will be quality or eve full-time NHLers. Best thing to do is just load up on defense in this up coming draft and let the kids develop over the next 2-4 seasons. If we pick enough guys, we're bound to find some good ones along the way.

I think he's the real deal. As in he's got an nhl future beyond just 7th d-man/ahl tweener role.

Agreed.

Finding a partner for Risto and filling out the rest with those guys mentioned and you have an above average NHL D at the least IMO

I said this months ago that they were leaving and that they were looking at sites in and around the city. And a bunch of people jumped on me and said the Islanders were not leaving Barclays.

Ennnnnnnnt. Try again. Martha was a 50 goal scorer and would've been a Buffalo Sabre had I been given control of the draft room.

Kane can get a top 4 D. It does depend on what you mean top 4 though too, since top 4 on this team might be top 7 on cup condender this season. But i do think he can get a great young d man back.
