Speculation: Unusual predictions for the up coming season

[BarBeauWahlDobLok]

LMAO Josh Bailey will never put up 50 points... i can not wait untill this dead weight is no longer on this team.... he is just not that good.. i wish he had a twitter account i will let hum know this.. i hate this guy more then i do the rangers

I think the guy meant 50 turnovers at his own blue line. Or, perhaps, he meant 50 fade away thoughts about an attempted hit.

 

[BarBeauWahlDobLok]

I would say Okposo was grossly underrated by most nyi fans and his best play came long side Bailey and Frans Nielsen.

Just watch as the "tough" Kyle Okposo backs away from Jonathan Drouin, opening a whole bunch of new passing lanes for him.

That was bad, but I could point to a few things that went wrong there. Okposo misread that play and gave Drouin too much space, but the goal scorer should have been covered by at least one of Tavares or Nielsen. That's also a fail on both those guys, plus Capuano for having two centers out there along with two of the weaker defensive forwards late and protecting a lead on a defensive draw.

Capuano has to call a TO and run the 4th line back out there. That's the real fail.... we all knew KO was weak defensively.

He's weak in the hockey sense department. That's why I won't miss him.

 

[A Pointed Stick]

You guys are both wrong. Capuano is the second best coach since Al Arbour. He is a hockey super genius, an amalgam of Lex Luther, Einstein, and Toe Blake. If his strategy doesn't work it is because he meant it not to work. He is three pages past where we are in the movie.

Anyone throw up yet, because I can keep going.

My prediction, Capuano reveals he used to be named Bobby Fischer.

 

[beach]

A player not currently on the Isles will finish second in scoring behind Tavares.

 

[Lame Lambert]

Ho-Sang gets called up and some point and never goes back

 

[lazycop]

Buffalo fans will be calling for Okposo's head by January.

Sorry. I'm usually all for the satire, but this is pretty tasteless.

 

[Doshell Propivo]

Sorry. I'm usually all for the satire, but this is pretty tasteless.

Apology accepted.

 

[duster19]

Lee scores 30+ goals.

 

[YearlyLottery]

Apology accepted.

I didn't think it was bad.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Buffalo fans will be calling for Okposo's head by January.

But through the month of October he has 13 points in 8 games, and Buffalo fans tell us they're going to draft McDavid and Eichel with our 1st round pick.

 

[Renbarg]

I think Carolina will be really really good.

I think leddy will have a year that propels him to the top of the top nhl dmen.

 

[rikker]

Isles win 2 rounds, and Hip Of Rick responds...

"SNOW MUST GO!!!"

 

[Sparksrus3]

Before 2016 is gone the isles snatch Brian Strait for the second time as the Jets try to sneak him through waivers. The man who is 42nd on the isles all time career games played list for a D man
will once again be patrolling the blue line in Brooklyn. I'd just like to wish everyone a merry Christmas in advance. Welcome back Warrior !!!!!

 

[doublechili]

PAP finishes in the top 20 in NHL scoring.

By the end of the season we're discussing whether we should protect Shane Prince.

 

[LeapOnOver]

Isles trade Strome and a 2nd for Fowler and don't protect him at the expansion draft and he resigns with NYI after LV skips on him due to pending UFA status. We end up losing de Haan in the expansion draft and are able to keep Nelson and Lee.

 

[LetsGoIslanders]

Buffalo fans will be calling for Okposo's head by January.

I don't have any Islanders predictions, but this probably the most accurate prediction. Pegula is too involved, and Tim Murray should've never been hired out of scouting. Buffalo is doomed to another 5 years of awful.

 

[LeapOnOver]

My last prediction : Isles have the worst 2nd line in the NHL with Nelson, Lee, Strome and most of them finish on the third line by season's end.

 

[Hip Of Rick*]

Isles win 2 rounds, and Hip Of Rick responds...

"SNOW MUST GO!!!"

You have an extra !

Normally I go with two

Not to get off topic.... but if you feel this way about Strome/Lee/Nelson, why would you be pushing for the above trade to happen? Wouldn't you rather lose one of those 3 and keep Calvin de Haan? Does not compute

 

[JerseyJoe]

Team trades Strome, Dal Colle, and de Hann for Kucherov
Barzal earns 2nd line center from the go and tops 50 points playing
between Lee and Nichushkin.
During camp we trade Greiss and a 1st to get Nichushkin and a cap dump.
Nelson centers 3rd line between Chimera and PAP
Kul-CC-Clutter 4th line
Bailey traded for a 4th.
Prince extra forward.
Grabo to LTIR for cap space.

this would be a lottery win.
just switch Griess for Halak and put Bailey instead of 1st rounder.

 

[Bones45]

Sorry. I'm usually all for the satire, but this is pretty tasteless.

I thought that was the most accurate picture of what could happen this year. Far better than the reality which will probably take place:

"Isles begin season 5-5, and haven't really shown any exciting play or desire to take the team to the next level"

"Halak hasn't returned to the form we know he has shown in the past"

"HF board member falls down in upper level and sues Barclays, Isles ownership, and other members of HF due to his injuries"

"Exciting bit to Isles game today, as Honda has upgraded the CRV to a Pilot. Come down and check it out"

"Bailey dazzles crowd by icing puck, via backhander.... Niiiiicccceeeeeeeee"
