Nah. Missing out on Panarin hurt MUCH worse.

The Isles were never really in the running. He and his girlfriend wanted to go to NYC.

"Let's wait and see if we stink or not" is not exactly the kind of plan that inspires hope among fans

Especially coming from someone who has said that last season was an anomaly and we are really contenders ad nauseam on this thread since the end of last season

True.

Same can said of Gaudreau.

Man… NHL spouses really like cockblocking the Isles.

How does playing for the islanders remove someone from going to NYC?

This thread will never run out of them. The usual fanboys will always find unsubstantiated excuses.

Yes, and they did not want to pay the TAXES on the LIRR tickets.

What would stop them from living in Manhattan if he played for the islanders? Couldn’t afford his monthly parking bill?

I'd say it all depends on Lambert. I still view firing our HOF coach (Trotz, not Tonelli) as a monumental mistake. Hopefully I'm wrong, Lambert gives us a more modern spin on what Trotz started, and the team doesn't miss a step. But...I can't help but feel that's the same thing Washington was betting on with Reirden.

They didn’t have a choice. Lou fired trotz because trotz wanted to be close to his family and Ledecky wanted to make sure he paid him the remainder of his contract. Four million dollars as a parting gift.

Of course not. The fans know what to do and Lou hasn’t a clue
- nyisles7

I mean he openly admitted that he needed to add some offensive talent and didn't.

That's kinda hard to walk back after acquiring nothing...no?

Maybe all the leaks caused Lou to tear up the contract?

This I agree with completely. We beat Tampa with Panarin without a doubt.

Where do you think Panarin would have lined up with Komarov on the first line?

Nothing.
The plan is and has been the same. Nothing. Run back the same team as last year (without Chara

- Isleshockeyman[maybe] and Greene) because last year was an anomaly. To some degree I'm ok with that. I'd still like to see them get a true sniper. We'll see what happens.


Plan A through Z was Guadreau.
