NFT: Islanders notes and eulogy

feelflows : 8/15/2017 9:30 am
Camp is a month away.

Shane prince is 4-6 months away. Ankle surgery.

Mike In Long Beach is also very far away. Our small BBI Isles Nation is one less, as he has been suspended from BBI.

Not many are more die-hard than Mike. Season ticket holder, even in Brooklyn. Watched every game, even during a trip to Paris! Always sports the blue and orange.

Dipietros clone in looks and spirit. Rest in pieces brother Mike.. your insight and knowledge will be missed. May your coming days be full of hockey and empty of Mitch.
What the hell did Mike do?

What did FEKker do?  
MetsAreBack : 8/15/2017 9:33 am : link
But smart taking care of this in preseason.
He genuinely doesn't know  
feelflows : 8/15/2017 9:35 am : link
But...like Shane Prince, he waited too long. Now he will miss valuable season time.

Hope Mike is OK  
Metnut : 8/15/2017 9:36 am : link
he's a good guy.

Offseason is really just leading to more drama during the season. Tavares and arena both still in limbo. The team is talented enough to be good (maybe even contend) and theyplayed as good as anyone outside of WSH after Weight took over, but the Metro is going to be rough and there's little room for error.
Losing FEK and Tavares in a single 12 month period is going to be real  
BrettNYG10 : 8/15/2017 9:38 am : link
Rough for you guys.

Here are the clues I'm getting:

Belmont is all but done. They will be there. It's just the process now.

Unless something unforseen happens, JT will be signing a long term extension. Probably when the arena is confirmed.
Well, that puts in a man down situation

The rest of this small but effective PK unit needs to kill this one off.

Free MiLB.

FEK and Anak in the same day?
What one reporter suggested is  
feelflows : 8/15/2017 9:48 am : link
The Isles set them up for another salary dump acquisition. See: Leddy/Boychuk.

Detroit
Toronto
Chicago

These teams are the ones who are up against it.

Toronto has at least 3 contending teams (Pitt, Nash and NYR) in need of a third line center and the cap space to bring in Bozak. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good - they don't have to dump him to get under their cap.

Surprised Chicago still has an issue considering their CBJ trade a month ago but I've done no research.

After the trade they were less than 100k over. Since then, Hossa retired. I'm honestly not sure how that will change things. Does he go on LTIR? If so, do they re-coop his salary? If so, that's significant savings. I'll have to google it.
And I say retire for Hossa  
feelflows : 8/15/2017 10:19 am : link
But he said only one Season? The whole situation is confusing.

Would be great is that all ends up happening but the closer we get to the start of camp without Tavares being signed the more awkward things are going to get.

Nah. I think this will all work out.
Mike > Anak by leaps and bounds

What could he really have done? I don't want to say too much.
I think the Isles still have 1 big deal in them  
Dave M : 8/15/2017 1:35 pm : link
Before the season he's going. It just makes too much sense. However, we know it won't be with the Avs. They have a clueless GM.

The absurdity continues...and perhaps gets more fierce with each passing hour.
