They should hire Ray EmeryIf They Miss The Playoffs,Then Who Should They Hire To Be Our New GM?
How About If They Hire Either Dean Lolmbardi Or Ken Holland?
and to think what could , no,, what would have been if Calvin Dehaan never got hurt. We bad and that's not slang
Playoff chances have DOUBLED in the last 2 days to a whopping 3.1% now!
Isles can now leapfrog the Jackets, Panthers, and Devils if they go 10-2-1 and:
Jackets get 11 points or less in final 12 games
Panthers get 15 points or less in final 15 games
Devils gets 15 points or less in final 13 games
Would need to catch 2/3 of these teams to get in.
Honestly, after that quick evaluation, I'd say the chances are less than 3.1%, but hey can't argue with an algorithm
Don't be a chicken little!
It ain't happening. Brutal schedule. Caps 2x. Pens. Bolts. Leafs. I can't see it.
Right now the Isles chances of winning the draft lottery and getting Dahlin are at least twice as good as their chances of making the playoffs.
I apologise, probably I misunderstood you ... but do you think that Tavares signing or not signing depends on Gibson, Greiss, Söderström, and Sorokin?I get the feeling that Tavares will not re-sign if we go with Gibson and Greiss in net. And I don't think he resigns if we count on Soderstrom or Sorokin. Too risky, IMO.
I really think that us acquiring a top goalie is the key to the direction of this team. Whether it's Raanta or a trade for someone like Fleury, I see this as pivotal.

i wish there was something to cheer about ... i will be in ny this thursday and will not attend the game as i'm absolutely disgusted of how this team is run ... the only thing that winning a few games now can do is hurt our draft position...i hope snow has no chance of making trades because he has been dumped into the fn dumpster ... he's an fn amateur who has given the fans the worst defense in the league ... just my opinionRegardless of our situation I will always cheer the boys on. That said, I would be bringing up the youth right now and giving them some valuable experience. We might not make it into the playoffs, but getting some wins could have a significant effect on the players confidence for next year.
I don't see Snow making any significant trades as he only seems to have two trading partners in, Edmonton and Las Vegas. It's possible but I think the chances are pretty slim. Unlike most here, I really hope he does make a few big trades. He hasn't been able to pull the trigger much in the past, but given the John Tavares situation, I hold onto a bit of hope.
I think our most reasonable hope for a significant addition is to sign Raanta as an unrestricted free agent. I haven't looked closely at the other teams rosters, but I don't believe there will be a large number of teams competing for his services. Detroit? Florida?

i think a top goalie will be enough to sway JT to stay (coupled with the new arena), and none of these in-house options are good enough.I apologise, probably I misunderstood you ... but do you think that Tavares signing or not signing depends on Gibson, Greiss, Söderström, and Sorokin?

If they upgrade the talent and depth on defense, get a good goalie and implement a more defensively responsible system they will be a playoff team. Not just a bubble team but a legit playoff team team in my opinion.You really think the Isles are only a good goalie away from being a Cup contender? Because that's essentially what you're saying -- Tavares' decision to stay because he thinks the Isles are a good goalie away from contending.
I'd argue that Tavares and his camp, if they're evaluating the roster, would also see the massive gaping hole on defense as an issue more so than whether or not Raantta or Halak is their #1 goalie.
Lots of if's there.If they upgrade the talent and depth on defense, get a good goalie and implement a more defensively responsible system they will be a playoff team. Not just a bubble team but a legit playoff team team in my opinion.
Yep, no doubt. All teams that miss the playoffs have holes to fill. But I do think that this can be turned around in one summer. With competent management (which is a whole other issue).Lots of if's there.

Davidson cant hold CDH's jockThis might sound crazy but I so much like what I see in Gibson and Davidson that I can see a 6-2 run here making the last 5 games worthy of watching. I wish we didn't have a damn home and home with the Capitals for it means we'll probably see a washed up Halak in one of those games. To me Davidson has made a DeHaan resigning into maybe a doubter from a no doubter.
