Leaf Rumours

I really like Beach, but not sure I want to do the rest of that deal.

Here's one, building off of something I said last week - let's go HARD after Tavares. We're in an even better position now, after the Beauch trade, and NYI is in such shambles that I think they would actually NEED to do a good 5 for 1 deal where they get some important pieces and depth.

Tavares
for
Kadri, Bozak, Gardiner, Gunnarson, Gustavsson
 
As much as I like Tavares, he's not a good fit for us at centre. Tavares is more of a sniper then playmaker, and if he's playing with Kessel, he's going to need to have mad vision. If Tavares was a winger, I'd be all over that deal. Also I think the price tag is kind of steep too (your giving up a potentially elite player in Kadri, a decent 3rd liner in Bozak, a potential top 4 PMD in Gardiner, a decent all around defencmen in Gunnarson and a backup goalie).

wow so non amusing ! just for clarification this is a suggestion on my behalf so when i get attacked ......... (once again !! ) you can attack me for the right inside info

see ill stand behind what i heard , just like i have before and i come back all the time amid slandering cause i really dont care what lil thoughts people like you have !

you are miniscule in the grand scheme of things, so whether you choose to read or not makes no difference ! all you do in the end is tarnish your internet persona with quirky self amusing comments

oh have a nice day :smilewinkgrin:
 
if versteeg goes, we better be getting back a similarly young and talented centre, OR a prospect/youngster with legit 1st line upside.
 
I can't see the Isles moving Tavares ... obviously, you can always debate whether Tavares is worth moving heaven and earth for, but the deal here is the Isles need a face to sell tickets and Tavares is the only identifiable name they have right now. They will NOT let Tavares go.

They may not have a choice in the matter espically if Tavares isnt interested in sticking with the isles and he gets an offer sheet that the islanders won't match (we all know the isles are cheap).

I'll try to find out why Beach was sitting.

As for your proposal Dumar...No, Never, No.

No Komi.

mr burke robbed you before, now to return to the crime scene return his stolen goods for even bigger goods

campbells contract becomes void, brouwer is an rfa and is going to expect good money and beach is quietly being buried after last nites steal off florida

versteeg and bozak ?

Do i really even need to address this?.

First of all considering we HAD to deal Versteeg the return we got IMO is still pretty fantastic despite Stalberg not being overly impressive this season.

Second even if i woud deal Campbell for Komi ( and i wouldn't while both are overpaid Campbell is still a very good player, Komi sucks) It would be done in the offseason. Not Now.

We are going to have a fair amount of cap room in the offseason as well. More than enough to extend qualifiying offers to Brouwer, Crawford, Seabrook and Frolik. If a team wishes to go down the offer sheet route then we will look at it then, and frankly Seabrook is the only one that seems plausable on.

Lastly Beach is not being buried. We simply don't feel the need to rush our prospects like every other team in the league. He has some major discipline issues in the AHL and isn't exactly tearing it up either. I'm not saying i wouldn't move him for the right deal but certainly not the rubbish you proposed.
 
Hey Jonas, I haven't seen or heard anything about Stalberg for some time. I loved that kid and was sad to see him go.

Can you give a brief synopsis of how he's fared this year for you guys?
 
He started off hot....but has been regualated to 4th line.

He lacks toughness and the work ethic to be real good it seems.

There was also scuttlebutt that there were 2-3 Hawks players on the outs in the dressing room for being lazy and not fitting in with the 10 team.

Suspicains were that Stalberg and Skille were 2 of them.

I knew one of the 2 would get dealt, and IMO if we can aquire some 3rd line anger and a different prospect for him Stalberg could go too.

That said now that Skille is gone his chances of staying are more likely....He's going to need to bust his tail to fit in our top 9 though, otherwise he's playing with Fernando Pisani and Jake Dowell...or even benched outright for Ryan Johnson
 
I think the best recipe for the Islanders to put butts in the seats is to start winning some friggin hockey games.

Tavares is there and they still can't win, nor is the rink selling out.

The islanders need to make some deals to get better, plain and simple. Mind you, another 1st overall will help.

the guy is a stiff ! lol dont be surprised to eventually see him on waivers ! chi town believes he is too soft for the bottom lines and their top lines are beginning to fill out minus a 2nd line centre

we sold them sugar pills claiming them to be viagara ! and they took it lol
