INLAND EMPIRE — This is a team with a lot of past, but little present. And almost no future.

The Habs left Jake Allen in for all 9 goals lol

Fitz has been focused on players with years of team control, Kane is a no-go for multiple reasons (not sure if you meant Kane or just being buyers in general). Gotta think Grier will pull the trigger on a Meier trade at some point, makes no sense to sign another Hertl-like deal.

I could see LouLam making a bid for Kane. He loves his old creaky veterans, whether they perform well (Parise) or not (Chara), and Barzal does need a scoring winger now that Oliver Wahlstrom is on indefinite IR

Shouldn't there have been some announcement as to if anyone claimed Vrana by now?

I think the deadline is 2pm EST? So there's still time for Lamiorello to wake up from his post-martini power lunch nap

Oh poo poo I totally forgot about Lou. And the Isles need a cooked over the hill player now that Chara is gone too.

We already have Zach Parise, but you wouldn't think he's 38 years old from the way he plays. Now that you mention it, we do need a classic LouLam-brand boat anchor on the team...

The NY Rangers and fans have a long commitment to being pro-gay rights. We even have a chant that we do in celebration of a fan icon:

Holy poo poo Lou actually did something

Beauvillier has fallen off a lot since the 2020/21 playoff runs, but he still has a lot of speed that could make him valuable as a mid-six puck carrier. Gonna miss him.

Räty has the makings of a solid center. He scored a goal in his first career NHL game with the Isles, which was great to watch. Gonna miss him too.

On the surface, Horvat looks like just the shot in the arm this team needs. Our goal scoring is anemic and our power play is a loving joke (3 for 63 lmfao) so here's hoping he brings some finishing to the lineup and leads us to glorious times. Of course knowing the luck of this franchise, he'll probably score a natural hatty in the first period of his first game with the team before his knees explode halfway through the second and he sits out the rest of the season while the team implodes and Sorokin turns into a pumpkin.

And we're still burning our picks and prospects for the slimmest chance of a short-term gain - how's that been working out for the Panthers?

kill me now posted:

I can see them moving Barzal to wing because honestly he's a good playmaker but not a great center. I would expect that their top 9 will look something like this when Walhstrom gets healthy

Lee - Nelson - Palmeri
Parise - Horvat - Barzal
Baily - Pageau - Wahlstrom

Swap Wahlstrom and Parise and that'll probably be the lineup. Use Holmstrom and Fasching to fill holes on the third and fourth as needed. Maybe bump Bailey down to the fourth line and scratch Clutterbuck? Idk

Wahlstrom is out for the season so that won't be the lineup.

Ugh, don't remind me. Miss that kid. Probably Holmstrom, Fasching, or Parise skating with Bo and Barzy then. Or legendary elite Islanders superstar JOSH BAILEY

8 x $8.5M, which IMO is a little high. that much money wrapped up in Barzal + Horvat seems questionable

would still take that over the Miller contract

also lol:

Oh man Isles/Flyers tonight. Getting straight into. Excited for some bad boring hockey between 2 evenly matched teams.

Can't wait for Horvat to tally a natural hat trick in the first before his ankles explode in the second and he retires forever

Mat Barzal skates well, scores, gets checked into boards - LOWER BODY INJURY. Many such cases!
