Ben Shelley: Islanders have no prospects at World Juniors, game vs. Sabres postponed

Anders Lee for the HOF.

The old man wrecked the roster. And for good measure wrecked the prospect pool. And poor Coach Trotz is running out of Garth Snow’s players.

John Tonelli for HOF

What’s the odds NHL games resume on Dec. 28th?

I’d give it a solid 0%.

Merry Christmas buzzers!

I was hoping all teams would have to go through what the Isles went through with COVID. Three or four losses that might have been averted had the league stepped in earlier. Also wish the Olympics were still on for NHL players. This definitely would have helped our team.

Merry Christmas buzzers!

Merry Christmas to you as well.

Merry Christmas to you guys. This year went blazing by. Can’t believe it’s been two years since the Wuhan China virus started. My two daughters and wife currently have it. Pretty mild symptoms thank God. The current strain is highly contagious but fortunately less severe symptoms.

Hopefully 2022 is healthier and happier than this year for all. Here’s to a better year for all.

NYI in last place with 0 prospects.
Canes in first place with 10 prospects in the WJC.

Raty out w covid. Remind me, how have the canes been the past few years? All I can remember is Bolts and Isles in eastern finals. Tough year for this Isles, which I’m guessing is why you’re here. Thanks for showing up when they were playing well. Very classy.

Hope your family feels better soon

Thanks Capt. My son and I have fortunately not gotten it yet. It’s actually been a bit of a blessing in that we are all taking time off and laying low. My two daughters are full speed ahead usually with soccer and track so this is a nice break. Trying to be positive. Peace and thanks for the regards.

When you have 10 prospects in the Worlds it means your team has sucked for quite a few years. We've had lots of prospects. 2 trips to the semis is what we've waited for and the real Islander fan doest give a poop about what other fans think. So suck on that

They made the playoffs the last 3 years dude. They just don’t give away quality draft picks for nothing and actually draft well. And guarantee they will be better than us the next 3 years too if Lou keeps running things this way

Big deal they made the playoffs. I'll take the 2 deep runs they made.

How has Lou wrecked the prospect pool?

By trading high end picks would be my assumption.

How was he suppose to move the garbage contracts that Snow wrote and get NHL players without something to offer in return?
