Can we all agree, Snow has been one lucky bastard when it comes to UFAs not wanting to sign here.

Lets review list of guys he made monsters offers to and thank god they chose not to sign with us.
-Christian Erhoff was offered monster close to 10mm a year contract that he said no to and signed with Buffalo. Buffalo regrets that contract.
-Dan Boyle was offered monster contract that he rejected and went to Rangers. Snow go so lucky that we were able to land Leddy and Boychuk after and we would be without those guys today.
-Vanek was offered huge deal he rejected to go to Minn. Vanek now making 2mm a year in vancouver. I hope he gave his Wife earful walking away from 60MM from islanders.

Those were only ones that came to mind. please chime in if you can think of other ones. there are definitely a few i am missing.

I hate to admit it but you are correct on this, unlike Noel you brought your "A" game what would have been great was if at anytime that Dan was killing Noel he said "whatever tin can dan" for the record I'm busting their balls we all appreciate the work they do motocross aside.

Dan and Noel do a great job. They also gave us as close to an Isles fight we will get this year.

If they don't drop the gloves on 14th Street, I will be disappointed.

Sorry John I will not be able to make it. I hope we get video of the event.

You're only looking at it in one context and basing it on the end result. Any or all of those signings could have gone totally different had they accepted. Perhaps Boyle doesn't get injured and is an outstanding D-man. Erhoff's shot would have been beneficial for the PP. Maybe he would have been a stud. We all know what Vanek did with JT. Everywhere else he went, he didn't have JT to ride shotgun with. Again, could have been big. Based on what actually transpired in their respective careers, yes, he was lucky they didn't sign here. You never know what might have been though.

1) Vanek is an idiot for not signing, so is his wife. looking at him 3 years later, im glad he didnt.
2) Let me refresh you on Erhoff. He is a pile on. Big shot and nothing else. He was horrible in Buffalo that year and i think he has been on 2-3 teams since. Is he even in NHL anymore? that contract would of trumped Yashins.
3) Boyle best years were behind him. Any way you want to cut it. Leddy and Boychuk > that one Boyle for two for the price of one.
4) i think isles tried to get Wade Redden too. - Add that to list.

Also im sorry, I said Mayfield has potential to be as good as Hamonic. Im sorry if i missed the time when Hamonic won the norris trophy.
Can i remind you he as a shadow of the player he was 2 year prior when he was a force. Can i remind you Hamonic has the worst +/- on the team last year by a wide margin.

Trust me, we will be fine without him.

I'm not saying you're wrong and I'm not disagreeing with you. Especially about Vanek being an idiot. My point is that we don't know what they would have done here. Besides ruin the cap through the roof. Things happen for a reason. The Isles always have to over pay Ufa's because they don't want to play here.

I mean it is quite possible that the defense is fine without Hamonic, but I will pretty much bet chiefs finds his wife before Mayfield is a top pairing.
