With most of the team either out due to injury/Covid, or simply playing like crap, I don't think it makes sense to give up that first, because I doubt that there's any one player who can turn things around.

I agree 100%. They can turn it around. It will be difficult with Pulock hurt and everyone out with covid coupled with how they started the season but it’s possible. If the team leveled out a bit and looked like they could maybe hold the fort until they got Pulock back I could see lameriello trading it to hold us in position. He isn’t getting any younger the guy is definitely in win now mode it’ll be a while till he throws in the towel imo. I may not necessarily agree with it but I think that’s what he’ll do.

Maybe with the world saying we stink again they will start to play. I can't see Lou NOT making a trade. New arena and success of last couple of years has to have him continue in "win now" mode. Unfortunately, to Lou that means more old Vets.. maybe they can get Martinek back out there.. .

In all seriousness how can these GM's not see the success teams have with youth. Look at the Ducks right now.. they are exponentially better with guys like Zegras, Milano, and Terry adding speed and skill into their line up. Carolina with Jarvis, Mercer on Devils... etc.

To be fair our “youth” hasn’t helped us the last couple of games

This is pretty much a hopeless situation at this point. If we somehow make the playoffs it will be a miracle.

Christ I was hoping there would be 4 more players so we could just reschedule games. What a (frank)ing disaster

Perhaps Lou in a smoke-filled room slipping the medical officials some cash to announce 5 more Islanders tested positive to buy us a week could help

The fact that they didn't shut it down and now you had Chara play while he definetely was in contact with positive cases means you probably will see some more positives tomorrow.
