They went away temporarily.

The other way to spread out the talent is to simply have more talent- the Islanders do need better secondary scoring, but that should hopefully come with Nino/Strome/Nelson.

That's fair.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 21 2013, 1:46p
It is obvious who is the better player. But you are now implying that Moulson can only score 30 on JT's wing.

Little value for Ottawa. He might have had more value to another team (Detroit or something), but Ottawa was looking to acquire cheap, young players to contribute over the next few years.

It's exactly what the argument is.

Lol.

It's ok, AP. Don't know how you don't understand that just because people put Moulson on Line 2 does not mean they think he's worse than whoever is on Line 1.

Yes I'm serious. TEAMS SPREAD TALENT THROUGHOUT THE LINEUP.

Oh man, I'd love a Ryan/Hiller trade.

It's not semantics, you misunderstood what he said. We didn't have a player comparable to Conacher. We would have either had to overpay for him, or offer an insufficient player to OTT.

He didn't say "on par." He said "comparable to Conacher." Strome is not comparable to him because he's more valuable.

The Islanders made the playoffs in spite of Nabokov this season (and he was hotter in the second half than the first).

It's not ridiculous at all. Why is James Neal on PIT's second line instead of with Crosby? He's clearly better than Dupuis or Kunitz, so why isn't Neal on Line 1?

I'm with you. Add a good goalie, and this team is legit.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 10:50p
No he's not. Who is he beating out?
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 10:48p
I don't even think he's a dark horse. The Islanders have enough depth on D that they don't need to throw him into the fire at 19 when he's clearly not ready.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 10:47p
No.....
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 5:33p
Reinhart isn't making the NHL at 19. He's still a year or two away.

This. As much as I want Bernier/Emery, it's a pipe dream.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 4:44p - 2 replies
So much this. All of it. If Snow wants to be the nice guy and not offer sheet Rask, he'd be foolish.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 4:43p
I'd think Moulson would want to take the first hit.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 4:42p
That helped them, but it had potential to help us too.

Isn't Emery a FA?
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 4:23p
Haha we do need someone to keep these guys honest.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 4:22p
I know it happens but it's absurd, IMO.

Ok, but also, are you going to hang this over Nino's head his whole career? It was one news report at the beginning of this season. We haven't heard anything from him since.

Who cares about retribution? I hate that shit about offer sheets.

Of course Nino has issues. I never said he was a perfect option.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 4:10p
It's true, but just having size won't work, because guys like Carkner and Strait end up taking too many penalties to really be that effective.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 4:08p
Bernier/Emery as the tandem might be my first choice for goaltending this offseason.

I actually really like this.

I think getting paid more than Tavares is something that's overblown. Why wouldn't he pay if we had the money and cap space?
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 3:45p - 1 reply
Ray Emery is extremely intriguing for me.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 3:11p - 2 replies
I don't think that's an issue with Nino.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 3:08p - 1 reply
You're not wrong, but a lot of this discussion isn't factoring in external additions, so without a trade or FA addition, I'm not sure there's a better option on the roster or in the org for that #1 RW spot.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 3:06p - 1 reply
Agree 100%. I would shelter Donovan until he's comfortable at the NHL level.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 3:03p - 1 reply
You're 100% right- but you're also not factoring in any external additions.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 2:53p - 1 reply
I would make this kind of move, either for a top-line scorer or a #1 goaltender.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 1:49p
It's too depressing to talk about right now.
Commented on Islanders Bits: Everybody growing here on May 20 2013, 1:47p
Yes, those two years from 19 to 21 are pretty big years in development. Starting him on Line 1 at 19 was stupid. Now? Not so much. Coming off a great AHL season, more developed, etc.
