. Out of all the things I did, that won't happen in real life (haha), I really want Snow to grab Matt Cullen the most.I was making changes to my lineup the first time I posted it, as I just had copied/pasted it from the roster thread. I agree with what you say 100%, plus Cullen would never be a scratch

Offensively, the Islanders have added the epitome of a 3rd line C in Matt Cullen, who can play PP, PK and be counted on for secondary scoring. He is a quick center, which would fit in greatly with Coach Gordon's overspeed system. Jarret Stoll, while having a high cap hit, can be relied on for anchoring the 4th line, providing two-way play as well as being counted on for his faceoff ability. Kris Versteeg is an offensively gifted forward who is a perfect match for the overspeed system also, playing along aside Tavares/Bailey (as the year progresses).
Defensively, the Islanders had a complete overhaul. Witt, Gervais, Meyer, and Streit have been replaced by Kuba, Poti, and Corvo. The Islanders are much stronger defensively now, while still having legitimate PP pairings in Corvo, Poti, and Kuba.
Goaltending, the Islanders felt that if they were (and still are, simply by mathematics) in the playoff hunt the entire 2009-2010 season with the poor roster they had, they can make a legitimate chance at playoffs the next season. For this reason, they brought in proven goaltender Nabokov to carry the load with Roloson playing in a backup role. As both goaltenders are getting up there in age, they can both be relied on and are proven workhorses.
I can see the Islanders making anywhere from 6-8 next season with this roster. (Sorry for quick write-up, heading off to work)
Lastly, the New York Islanders would like to waive D Bruno Gervais with intentions of him working on his game and starting the season in Bridgeport.

What do you guys think of my team?
I think I've got 3 really solid scoring lines with lots of depth and youth. Callahan, Lapierre, Dorsett, Boll, Pahlsson and Bertuzzi won't be fun to play against. The defence is what I think will be key. We have 8 NHL defenceman on the roster, and it's a nice mix of offensive and defensive defenceman. This team also has plenty of youth and experience.
If Mason doesn't drop the ball and have a bad season, I think the Blue Jackets could finish in the top-6 in the West.
Love how you guys ignored my team.
Your lineup was too strange to be true!

Pretty much done. Right up against the cap, totally overhauled our Roster into a Top 3 in the West IMO.

Offense : Our main concern heading in the offseason was size and grit. We were able to address this need by acquiring Malone, Downie and Matthias. Malone will be a great fit on a line with Plekanec and Cammalleri. He goes in the corners and won't shy away from traffic. We also like his two-way game, his work ethic and the fact that he can produce offensively. Downie was a big surprise in Tampa Bay last season and we like the potential of this young player. He represents the new generation of the NHL. He will start the season on the 3rd line but there's no doubt that he can step in the top 6 if needed. Some may be concerned by Matthias on the 3rd line with two other young players but we really expect big things from this line. If Matthias isn't ready to assume the role, we have Dominic Moore ready to step in on the 3rd line. This offense is a great balance of talent, size and grit. Every players knows their role and they will work hard in the same objective.
Defense : We didn't make a lot of changes. Sure, we could have added a legit top 2 defenseman to play with Markov but we thought that our needs were elsewhere. We also took a lot of time last year to install the chemistry between Markov and O'Byrne. We will at least give the young guy the chance to show what he can do. Markov prove in the past that he was making his partner looks better. We hope that O'Byrne will become another version of Mike Komisarek (in his good days). This year will also see the beginning of young sensation PK Subban in the NHL. He prove last season in Hamilton that he had the tools to be a dominant player at the next level. He will have a great mentor in Roman Hamrlik. On the 3d pairing, Gill-Gorges is in our opinion one of the best 3rd pairing in the NHL. They are both great leaders, they know their role and they will give all they have (and even more) for the team. Schubert gives us a lot of options as an extra defensemen. He also brings size to the organization and he is a versatile player like we like in Montreal.The future looks bright in Montreal with Cam Fowler in the ranks. The plan is to bring him in Montreal next season to play on the 2nd pairing with a defenseman to be determined (Markov-Subban would be the 1st pairing). Fowler could have been ready for the big league but we don't want to rush him, especially since we already have a rookie in our top 4.
Goals : Halak prove last season that he was not only ready to be a starting goalie, but also ready to be among the best (top 10) in the NHL. He has what it takes to play under the high pressure of Montreal. We like the fact that we were able to acquire Chris Osgood as the backup. Osgood is a warrior with a huge load of playoffs experience. He will be the perfect mentor for Halak.
Overall : We are very proud of what we did. We saw last year that the chemistry was installed in the team. If we can avoid the injuries, we will have a very dangerous team. Of course, we would like to be the best team in the NHL but our goal right now is to clinch the division title.
I think that is a Lotto team
And dont forget you have Sopel and his 2.3 mil cap hit for 1 more year
