Oh right. I doubt Marino is going anywhere. More likely Ruhwedel.

I'm inclined to think Marino as well. Ruhwedel is fodder. Marino for Brock was allegedly being worked on a bit a while back....

This is Lou we're talking about so we can't be certain Johnny and his agent aren't sitting in the tightly locked back room of a sumptuous Italian restaurant right this moment, enjoying some world class pasta and listening to Lou explain the vast mutual benefits of their business relationship while four guys in dark suits watch on, prominently displaying their Uzis.

more likely Lou is going "in my day we didn't sign guys to more than $4 mill contracts and that was the way we liked it. By the way, shave those sideburns!"

Man, if Lou was as much of an evil mastermind as everyone makes him out to be we would have won our fifth cup already

I'm saying Lou very often gets what he wants. Unfortunately for Islanders fans, as he's aged, what he wants has drifted further and further from what would actually be a good idea.

Gudbrandson was a gigantic LOL but yeah I agree the Flyers losing Gaudreau because they traded Tony D before verifying they could unload JVR wins the prize. Provisionally, at least--Kadri hasn't signed yet.

unfortunate. i would have loved to keep him if at all possible. just slightly too much for our blood, but maybe there's a chance...

looking like next year to start it's:

kreider-zibanejad-lafrienere
panarin-trocheck-kakko
blais-chytil-kravtsov
hunt-goodrow-rydahl/brodzinski/reaves

lindgren-fox
miller-trouba
jones/lundkvist-schneider
hajek

Shesterkin
Halak

I'm surprised they didn't try to package a young forward + Lundkvist for anyone yet, but I don't think it's terrible to hold on to them. that's not a bad lineup if most of the kids take another step. probably leaves us with enough cap room to accrue and have another nice deadline, which would be cool.

I don't have the fuzziest idea as to how that works, though. They'd almost have to give up on Laine and use the cap left for him and then some (by clearing more cap space via the glut at wing) and oh my God, that's what Jarmo meant by he said "we're by no means done", isn't it?

Pains me to say it but nah. Too slow to do anything at an NHL level anymore and also too brittle to stay on the ice more than 5 minutes a night. He was beyond washed up when he last played for Calgary and that was 5 years ago.

Last I'd heard from him he was talking about how playing hockey had become torture but he kept doing it because his Czech team would pretty much immediately go bankrupt if he wasn't on the ice as a draw.
