Ben Shelley: Will the 2020-21 season be Casey Cizikas' last with the Islanders?

Perhaps I’m seeing this “dilemma” through rose coloured glasses, but me thinks Lou and Casey can (and will) find an affordable compromise.

Tough to say. Casey isn't in a great position right now, but there still could be dumb GM's out there that drive up his value. I'd like to see him back at a reduced price.

Humour me Jimmy, for I simply must belabour the importance of the Queen’s “U”. It adds colour, flavour and indeed splendour (!) to our otherwise boorish tongue. So please alter your behaviour and honour good and proper English. It’d be neighbourly if nothing else.

As for Cizikas, I’d like to see something like 3 years @ 2.5 per.

Done! Seems like a reasonable compromise.............considering I have no idea what the two sides will be asking.

There can be no Queen without a "u". Of course, that is what we in the colonies prefer.

Queen Elizabeth II would’ve single handedly won the Battle of Saratoga.

True story.

Rosy red?

Have you been drinking with MDW again?

The queen can take her u add shove it.

I think 2.5 per is too much for Casey. He's had injuries the last four year. I don't know how much more he has in the tank.

I like Casey and what he brings when he's healthy, I just don't think he can stay healthy at this point.

A legitimate concern. Yet when Casey IS healthy, I feel he is well worth the money.

Unfortunately Lou will sign Zajac for way to much and they will be unable to sign Pelech let alone Beau and the USSR goalie. Barzal is walking at UFA age, Lou still thinks it’s 1999.

Anyone remember how well we played vs. Tampa without Zeeker?

If Komorov and DalColle are still on the roster and Casey isnt then Lou is getting a big f’in lump of coal in a stinky hockey sock.

I think like Lee and Brock he has loyalty to the team which figures in.

Love cizikas but like Martin it’s time to move on. Guy is consistently injured and his game has taken a nose dive. We sign him for anything close to what he’ll get on the market we’ll regret it real quick. Again, love the guy but time to move on...

Isn't Cluster(frank) injured more then Zeeker? Overall I agree. The "best 4th line in hockey" has run its course. Love Zeeker as well. The man busts his ass every shift.

Seems like it. Hell, even Martin was out for an extended period this last year.

By "USSR goalie" I assume you mean Sorokin?

And by Sorokin, I assume you mean the Islanders goaltender for the next decade.
