Top 3 are going to be hard to catch

Yup, the Isles have to improve their lottery position and then win the lottery to get the top pick.

Honest question. With DeHaan having been traded to the Rags, next time they go to UBS, what will the response be (if any)? Boo him, welcome him back or has it just been so long that he's been gone nobody cares anymore.

Come on. You know it'll either be the Rags or Maple Queefs that get the first overall pick.

I don't even remember how he left. As a free agent? Trade? I'm in the nobody cares category.

Fair enough. Just a curiosity on my part. It seems as though he signed as a free agent with Carolina. Then got traded and signed other free agent contracts. He's bounced around a bit.

My response to the one that do not, is what has this team won with the current players? My next question is what sign or action shows you that this team is worth keeping together and win?

My short answer is nothing! My next short answer is nothing!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

The only reason Nelson got traded was that he was unwilling to sign Lou's 3 yr deal. Had he signed it. NO ONE would have been traded this year. No one.

Lou may have forgotten more hockey than I have ever learned but this trade deadline was a huge, missed opportunity to strengthen this team with some depth.
