Prospect Info: At 46th The Isles Select Robin Salo

[MYIslanders]

I don’t think anyone ever denied that Snow and his scouts made some great picks. But there’s also no denying he SUCKED in most other areas as a GM.

He was also the outstanding when it came to negotiating contracts.

 

[Seph]

For RFAs, yes. Not so much when it came to UFA contracts though.

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Great that Lou found that gem. Oh, wait. Does count if he wasn't a Lou pick

Interestingly, Lou has signed ALL of our own draft picks by the time they needed to be signed, be it to an ELC or an AHL contract (Coskey, Bibeau, Pastujov), and regardless of whether they were drafted by Snow or not.

There's not been one who has just been allowed to walk without getting a look in the organization.

including JHS. and he had nothing but good things to say about LL.

LL treats people like family. and it shows.

Yeah, maybe it does. Nelson was a Snow pick. But I give Lou/Trotz credit for making him a player. It's one thing to pick them, and another entirely to develop them.

Naturally, JHS' first contract came under Snow.

Lou did qualify him though for one more season.

 

[Wanderson]

For RFAs, yes. Not so much when it came to UFA contracts though.

During his tenure as GM the Isles has to pay the UFAs premium to sign here. That doesn’t excuse all his bad signing though.

 

[scott99]

One thing I like about Lou, is he has signed the key guys he picks up at the trade deadline. Losing 1sts and 2nds for rentals, and then losing them in free agency is a killer to an organization.

I am glad Lou signed these prospects. That's not my point and if you have seen my discussions with Throttle, you would have realized he got in a little dig with his " Lou has a trade chip" post and I returned the dig.

Snow did a solid job with drafting. That’s a main reason why LL kept the scouts.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Isles have not had many pleasant surprises this year. With Pulock out for 4-6 weeks. Maybe Salo can be one. He's got the seasoning and skills to make an impact with the big team.

Finally some Salo! We’ve been waiting way too long!

And another question answered, Salo slotted on the right side to start.

 

[SI90]

RIP Leddy. They gave Salo a single digit number already. Must think he’s the real deal.

Doesn't Lamoriello just go in order usually?

Most likely. But it makes me feel better to think Salo was anointed instead of just wearing his same 45

As long as it's not like this I'm happy.

I am glad Greene has #4 already. For 2 reasons, Orr and Gerig. #2, no pressure, all he has to do now is be better than Mark Streit.

My father and his family actually knew Tommy Desimone in the 70’s. He used to come to Long Beach a lot.

Streit was so under appreciated. Towards the end he wasn’t too great like AMAC but he was really good here for us for a few years and a respectable captain. His first year he lead the team in points as a defensman. Albeit we sucked in 08.
