Ben Shelley: Isles sign Dennis Cholowski, Arnaud Durandeau, Hudson Fasching, Paul LaDue

They needed some talent for Bridgeport

None of those guys are going to play for Islanders unless they are riddled with injuries. Salo, Hutton, Aho is our Defense depth.. maybe even Bolduc.... 1 is our 6th..other 3 first call up.

Forwards If you assume our lines are a mix of these players...
Lee/Barz/Whalstrom
Beau/Brock/Bailey
Parise/JGP/Palms
MM/CZ/CC

then your fill ins are Bellows, Johnston....
If they are calling anyone up it would be Otto K is my guess.

I’m still holding out hope that Holmstrom makes some strides this season.

me too on Holmstrom

He had a better year last season, but he needs to keep improving if that pick is going to be worth it

Yeah that’s why I’m a tiny bit more optimistic about him. Hopefully he can build on last season.

Hopefully he can be a solid future 3rd line wing at least.

So, now that we basically know that romanov is the new addition on the roster at least for the start of the season barring an unforeseen deal prior. I have a question, Do the Islanders make the PO's this year?
My answer would be yes. Don't care if its 1st place in the division or a wildcard birth as thats the goal of most teams going into a new season.

What's your predictions?

goaltending and defense are better than anyone else's in the metro imo, I think they make the playoffs as the 5th or 6th seed

Good point.
Where have you been hiding?

I still think Arnaud Durandeau is gonna be an NHL'er. Kid can score.

And maybe Cholowski could be a dumpster dive that pans out. Former 1st rounder with decent size at 6'2".

Baby Isles replenishment!

John Tonelli for HOF

At the very least a little depth for bdgpt.

I concur.

I also predict that they make it past the 1st Round.

I originally read this as "a little depth for bigot"

Drink some pedialyte tomorrow. Works wonders for hangovers.

Aho was arrested in Sweden on suspicion of DUI. Yikes 😳

Statement from Lou Lamoriello: We were made aware immediately of the situation regarding Sebastian Aho. We have a copy of the police report indicating that he registered a 0.03 blood alcohol content, which is .01 over Sweden’s legal limit of .02.

Sebastian apologizes for his mistake and as an organization we will work with him to make sure this never happens again.
