Gotcha. I remember reading that about Lou, maybe from Freidman or somebody else.
- Vukota

Lou is so secretive that the first thing he did when he got to the Islanders is remove every employee from Northwell offices that wasn't part of Hockey ops and move them out this way there's less likely to be leaks about what's going on as far as anything concerning hockey ops.

The people who are left at Northwell know the rules or they will be terminated.

Why the (frank) did you grab Mayfield?

Pulock for certain. Perhaps Dobson now that he’s on the PP. Leddy and Toews only if you’re desperate.
- Wildschwein

Thought he is the best Isles-D available (could just dream about Pulock...) - but should have gone with LW Martin, produced more fantasy points per second than MacKinnon... thanks! for Dobson hint, looks promising.

Is Snow even around anymore?

Looks like he was dead sober as well If I walked in on my son filming that I would turn off the camera and then proceed to throw him out the window

And then jump out of it myself for siring said offspring.

If we could have improved the team and didn’t because the team we were trading with or a front office person or whomever leaked the proposed trade that would be moronic on so many different levels.

I didn't say it wasnt true but if another teams front office leaks it cause that's how rumors get out then hes gonna pull the plug it seems self defeating
- Upstate_isles

well that's how he has always rolled and it seems to have worked.

I get it too, because if you offers leak another GM can now up his offer.

Because of this there's no auctions when dealing with Lou. You can't take his offer to another GM and say this is what I have make it better. They know if it leaks, they aren't gettin the deal.

Makes sense to me anyway.

Like I said animals in the wild eat their young when they end up like that

Yes helps out at Northwell scrubbing urinals and making coffee for the Pee Wee Teams coaches

Well I guess that's why Lou is a successful GM and you guys have you Cack in your hands in front of your computers.

I decided to make you responsible that Mayfield may field a 5min (fighting) major tomorrow.

This is how LL operates. I believe with the Devils he had a trade agreed to, but it got leaked to the media so he pulled the offer. I think it was with a Western Canadien team. You won't hear about a LL trade till it's announced.

That'll probably be Brock. He's turned into a chippy (frank)er this week.

Like I said. It’s beyond stupid if we could improve this team which has been pretty desperate for offense to take that next step and didn’t due to a leak. I don’t care if “that’s just Lou”. Get it done and get over whatever issue you take with it. Ultimately his job is to improve the team and if he doesn’t because of that he’s not doing a good job.

I like that guy. Can you imagine there are Isles-fans out there who put this feisty master-center on fantasy waivers?

That's the nature of your (frank)ed up league. Crazy turnover all the time.

Gonna be a female dog now that some of us have to limit games.

Yeah right. Agreed. I wouldn’t let my pride get in the way of improving the team. Me first should always be what a GM believes that preaches a team first mentality within his organization. Excellent demonstration of leading by example.

Agree, no limit is worse than 4/week... found out that 6/week (with 7 bench) is a nice sweet spot. And hell, would have never thought to write this, but i miss standing up Monday and seeing the best players already taken... win that HBEfl for -us-.
