Don't get me wrong, I'm not sitting around pining for Parise. But Ladd is quite literally dead money. The guy is incapable of playing. If, at worst, they could make it an even-money swap (and not give up Bellows) I'm happy with it. I'd be interested in dangling Bellows for Labanc though

No I get it but I'm still hoping that Ladd retires or goes to LTIR with his next injury which will happen eventually

Craig Smith would be an interesting pickup for the 3LW spot, if he doesn't re-sign in Nashville. Shoots the puck a ton.

If he was/is, MIN should have been/better be eating like half of Parise's contract. Otherwise that's a bad deal.

Yep! I would have liked Parise but not on those terms and losing Bellows.

Honestly you couldn't ask for a better debut then last night for Pageau He fits right in with this team. They need another winger to play with him and Bailey. I love that MDC hustles all over the place but he lacks the skill to play on that line. MDC is a cheap 4th line option and nothing more

Pageau gives the Isles a badly needed well rounded player.

Someone send Ladd to pickup chinese food

Another one .. yes. I loved the trade once he was extended at a cost I am relatively ok with.. giving that much up for a rental would have been a bit upsetting, for a great 2 way center who is young and now signed for 6 years at a $5 mil a year hit is fine by me.

Did the Islanders have a 3rd grader make these in MS Paint?

He was defenseless because he had his head down. You take that hit out you might as well take out all hitting that doesn't occur along the boards

again please see Lindros, Brett, hell add Eric too

I mentioned it last night that MDW was skating with his head down like Lindros (the both) and one guy you can scroll through to see who said I was wrong and Brett did not retire due to concussions. Also at that point the thread saw the hit as dirty where as I did not and stated if it was revered the thread would have reacted differently.

What was it like seeing that Eddie Murphy standup back when you were in your 50's? That must've been something.
