He’s not because racism.

I think Lou doesn’t want him in camp until Boychuck gets put on LTIR.

That was Barry trotz not me. Dobson is going to get a bigger role than a lot of people think

Few, I was nervous he was: 1. gonna get an offer sheet 2. was being shopped by Lou 3. wanted to be in LA (or anywhere out west) 4. didn’t want to be an Islander...I’m sure I’m missing a few.

Great day for the Islanders and us fans!! (frank) yeah!!!

I can’t wait to see him and some of the other young guys after reading Trotz recent comments on them. Sorokin too.

I really think wahlstrom has the best shot to make it although bellows is close and they seem to like timashev. Don't know much about him
Edit
#Isles captain Anders Lee echoes coach Barry Trotz with how he's impressed with the younger prospects. Mentions Oliver Wahlstrom and Kieffer Bellows by name.

#Isles Anders Lee says Noah Dobson has been "phenomenal"

I'm on a roll here so

#Isles Mat Barzal talks of total respect between Lou Lamoriello and his agent during negotiations. Never had a thought he wanted to be anywhere else but on Long Island.

Mathew Barzal on any possibility he didn't want to stay with #Isles: "No, absolutely not. The whole negotiation was totally respectable on both sides. It's pretty clear I love it on the Island. I love being here - this is a fun place to be and a fun place to play."

It’s a nice mix of youth and vets on this team. Seems like they’re all pushing each other too. And new arena in fall. Good time to be an Islander fan. Finally.

Regardless of the naysayers, the players and agents respect Lou and this team has done nothing but improve under his watch

No doubt. And if we can add a little scoring
punch we could make a good playoff run again this year. If Barzal’s only getting $4M this year that should give us some room to add. That deal has a insane if true at $4/7/10 avg $7m per!!?? I (frank)ing love that kid.

You understand the cap hit is $7 million, not $4 million, right?

Oh right, have to wait until the LTIR kicks in

The results under Lou have been more than anyone imagined. He’s done a phenomenal job.
