Last time we won a playoff series, John Tavares was 2 years from becoming an Islander.

So Islanders lose Tavares and now they're tanking? Disqus

So are they Tanking, or Losing with Dignity?

In all seriousness, I do like their prospect pool and young players.
If they do tank and let's say they win the lottery to select Hughes ... does Loulou go crazy and offer sheet Matthew's or Marner?

On another team because we used him as a +.

Don’t do it

I see people are still not up feeling the effects of alcohol

I just don't see Oolofson being in the NHL this year. I see him in the AHL, maybe Thompson too.

Shouldn't they? I mean that roster (minus Tavares) is pretty bad. I mean they did sign the ultimate tanking machine in Lehner, right?

What else have they done to improve their roster? Nothing.

I do not want another roster of Pouliots this season

I disagree with Olofsson he has zero competition and the best shot in the whole organization

Speed and his shot with jack could easily get him 20 with Jack

The last time the all mighty Leafs won a playoff series is 2012 (shortened season) and the time before that was 2003. So just saying.

One year contract for Jordan Nolan with the @StLouisBlues at $650 000 (2 way)

They can have him

They will be like us years back just good enough to be at pick 10 or 11

And it will hurt them

It's not a matter of what we want, I'd love to see him have success up here, but if it's better for him to be in the AHL....he needs to be there.

JB seems to have a belief in development in the AHL. I'd love to see him push Nylander.

I don't see JB keeping him up in the NHL. Just because he has no competition in July doesn't mean he's a shoe in for the NHL roster.

Those days look to be over.

Yeah but if you completely win the job and take out the competition they can’t say no it will look bad on then

And with him already playing against NHL players I think he has edge on all our prospects “wingers”

They had 80 points with Tavares, they are pretty bad. And they lost DeHann (not sold on him much anyway, but was a starting D). But I hear you, Ottawa looks really bad, Rangers, Montreal but I dont see them out of the top 5 (without a lottery). They are going to be really bad.
