I get it, but realistically he's a versatile top-6 forward on a relatively affordable deal with four more years. For a team that sees themselves as a contender but doesn't have a ton of cap space he's a pretty attractive option. And like I said, JT Miller was putting up similar production in Tampa and he went for a first so you can bet that Lou is using that one as a comparable.

Bailey is the type of player even with the Isles struggling to score, you would be tempted to trade him now for a #1. Would get the players attention for sure.

Can't cut down the bad decisions without getting rid of the less talented players which cause the good players to make those mistakes.

You don't help the situation with posts like these

Every time I walk around the coliseum I see these freaks and think that has to be so and so from twitter

I do the same thing!

And if I see this really sulky looking old guy learning at the young kids, I think its Cpt.

I get it too, but... (frank).

I think the Isles would love for the guy to be in the lineup if he was ready.

Definitely Barry for sure.

Not Shatting you. Take a peek if you can stomach it.

I’ll take your word for it.

Stop killing Bailey’s value schwein.

No but I was a catcher so I know what's like to take a foul tip or a ball in the dirt in the nuts

Could've guessed that

Are we not that type of team now?

No facking shot

If I'm being honest, I don't believe we're truly a surefire contender for the Cup. And that has nothing to do with last night's game.

We're a damn good hockey team that could absolutely go on a run, but I'm not putting us in the same category as the Bruins/Caps/Blues quite yet.

Do you think Bailey is the offensive piece this team needs? Or that clearing some cap room, picking up a few assets while he's still worth something, and bringing in some outside help might be a better course of action? Sincere question, but again...I'm talking about this as an offseason move, not one for now.

Its the missed calls of your defenseman holding their sticks like wet noodles.

Dude, that wasn't a penalty. Fast didn't even try to hit his stick, he was going for the puck. If it came down on the middle of his stick I have no issue with a call. If they start calling that, every player is going to drop their stick as soon as the blade gets touched, instant penalty. That was a good old battle infront of the net.

I'm not arguing it because it's irrelevant, the Rangers beat the Isles bags off them whether that happened or not.

I agree and the Isles have either a couple of high end prospects they won't move and a bunch of lower tier prospects that aren't valuable enough to bring in an impact player. Lou is in a tough spot. He has a bunch of bad contracts nobody wants and he doesn't have a lot of trade pieces to dangle, unless he wants to trade Dobson or Wahlstrom which I wouldn't. With that said its also his job to make the team better so while I don't envy the position he is, I do expect him to try and make this team better

Dont tell this to captain, we should have hall

Its relevant, lets keep arguing!





Thursday they will probably lose 6-1 so I have to enjoy this while I can.

I don't like this passive Chiefs one bit.
