watch him do the Brooks Orpik special and go right back to the Isles.

Wow

This was a very affordable transaction for the Isles. I wish the Jets had beat them to it.

 

[Chet Manley]

So they bought a 2026 2nd round pick for 2.33M USD? Seems steep.

CIRCUM............................................sized

Don't they need a warm body for their bottom 6 anyway? Bailey was still an effective player a couple of years ago wasn't he?

Welcome back to the Islanders on a veteran minimum deal Blackhawks legend, Josh Bailey!!!!

 

[DickSmehlik]

ARGGGGGHHHHH, I knew I should have held off on that $200 Bailey Chicago jersey I just purchased.

 

[WarriorofTime]

End of an era. Thank you for all your contributions to the Blackhawks, Bailey. Hopefully at some point they can bring him back in a front office capacity or something like that.

League won’t allow this anymore under new CBA

Soon: Josh Bailey signs with NYI for $800k.

Save it. Could be a rare Ruth car snd sell for thousands…….

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Come to Toronto Josh!

So what if Islanders honestly were giving him his best offer? (say he wants to stay in NY and rather get 800k in NY then 900k elsewhere)

After the Prik situation which was technically allowed….the nhl said this isn’t happening again.

What game is the tribute video

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Shut the front door

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

LoL

People had this guy playing on a line with Bedard five minutes ago.

Probably told Davidson "thanx but nah, I'm good" then hung up the phone.

Then trade him. Problem solved.

But I though bailey asked to be traded

That's cap circumvention now so he can't

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I guess Bailey wasn't going to be selling season tickets.

Jokes aside, kind of.

He liked being an Islander, but wants playing time. So he was pretty much like "get me in the lineup or get me somewhere that will play me."
