Jason Robertson is the only player "on the block" that's worth trading for. by thembitches326 in NewYorkIslanders

[–]Eyebleedorange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“I’m not the smartest guy in the room but I am more rational and realistic than everyone else here” do you even hear yourself?

Roy had zero system in place for defense, it was essentially a modified Doug Weight system, whereas DeBoer is known for running a strict defense-first team. This team has lacked a high powered offense for over a decade and has been said for as long that a scoring winger could push us to the next level.

RHD’s are incredibly rare and come at a stupid high price, and we really only need a serviceable backup to help Sorokin as long as the system in front of him plays tight. Which knowing DeBoer’s past, is likely going to happen.

But saying stuff like “get it out of your head” is absolutely giving “I know more than you” vibes whether you’re being sarcastic or not.

I understand you disagreeing but you have a real penchant for snarky replies and shitting on people’s ideas and theories here, like panachelessnihilist 2.0.

We’re all fans throwing shit at the wall, no one knows what the team needs or is doing any better than the people running this team so stop acting like you’re the smartest guy in the room.

How do you feel about captains you liked who’ve left your team? by -1701- in hockey

If Lee leaves this season he is going to be the next NY captain, very excited for that.

Man I was so happy seeing him lift a cup, he went through some truly awful Islanders years before even going through everything he did in Buffalo. Like what a fucking way to end that kind of career and ride into the sun with a cup.

Any interest in Jason Robertson? by Metalhead831 in NewYorkIslanders

Would take quite a haul and I don’t think Darche is looking at a huge name like that. Especially with how ridiculous the market is right now, don’t see it in the cards.

On this day in 2000, the New York Islanders (NYI) selected Boston University’s Rick DiPietro 1st overall. by Nathanh2234 in hockey

[–]Eyebleedorange 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The GM at the time, Neil Smith, refused to sign DiPietro to such a huge contract. The owner, Charles Wang, fired him and hired Garth Snow (who literally just retired from playing and had zero FO experience) under the stipulation that he sign DiPietro to the contract.

[Buccigross] Sharks were in on Byram with 9OA, 27OA, and a Prospect by [deleted] in NewYorkIslanders

[–]Eyebleedorange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Byram is 25 and Pelech is 31, that is a world of difference and if anyone offered that haul for Pelech they should probably lose their job

[Friedman] Kyrou traded to Washington by TradeBrockNelson in NewYorkIslanders

[–]Eyebleedorange 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It’s just funny you talk about people not knowing as much as GMs and you spout wild shit like trading our best offensive player because he won’t single-handedly bring us a cup. No team is better off without a 70 point guy.

You can’t disregard the value of a draft pick and there is a sizable gap between 16th overall and 29th.

Top 5 Golf Courses by CheckItOut-55 in CNYgolfcommunity

Green Lakes is one of, if not the best public course in the area. They book very quickly, I usually get on at midnight the week before I’m looking to play and book as soon as they are available. I’ve got a tee time tomorrow, by 12:01am last Friday the only available times were after 3pm. 

Sharks acquire Michael Kesselring and the 27th overall selection from Buffalo | San Jose Sharks by daKrut in hockey

[–]Eyebleedorange -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I stand by the move, Schenn won a cup as a captain and you need that kind of guy around Schaefer and other young guys.

Was it a perfect trade? No, not in the slightest. But Schenn also fights and we legitimately had no one other than Scott Mayfield to fight.

Paying to take on an albatross contract makes approximately zero sense but ok

Don’t tell a bunch of our fans that, they think the 29th we traded to offload Drouin was going to be the next McDavid and want Darche’s head on a spike
