Umm I didn't even mention the leafs. You didn't even answer my question... I'm concerned about the islanders... I'm not allowed to post what I think about barzal and the islanders bc I am a leaf fan? Where is that rule? I think I missed it.
Smh. Just smh.
Thank you for your concern
Isles have four blueliners in either their 1st or 2nd season. Boychuk returned 3 games ago after missing 18 games and De Haan went out for the season months ago. Doug Weight continues to put the 37 yr old Sieds out there because he is a vet, ignoring that he is washed up and brings nothing positive at this point.
Aho and Pulock are imo the 2 most promising kids we have seen tbis season. Isles have a kid named Toews, who was their best blueline youngster in training camp.Unfortunately for Toews, he had ahl waiver options while others did not.Toews ended up back in the ahl. He made the ahl all star team, but went down with a season ending injury at the break.
Isles have unsuccessfully shopped for a De Haan replacement. Will both sides bend on an extension? De Haan's shoulder injury could not have happened at a worst time for the impending ufa.
Is Toews going to be ready to step in by next Oct? He looked nhl ready last Oct
