Come on down Anders Lee and welcome to the parent team

TWO....TWO of this seasons starters get traded for ONE 4th round round draft pick

 

[IslandersFan17]

Blown away the islanders were able to get anything more than a bag of pucks for these guys.

 

[Hip Of Rick*]

Almost silly, we may need those bums to keep us at the cap floor.

 

[gordie43]

But they were our big FA acquisitions...:

Doesnt anyone else see this as a problem?

 

[OrangeZebra]

Frans will not be pleased

 

[2ndGenIslander]

Good news! Surprised we got as much as a 4th for both!

Sad but this is probably Garth's second best trade with the best being the Campoli deal.

objective 1 - save money
objective 2 - refer to objective 1
objective 3 - don't bother.

Is Chifor a Yugoslavian team in the KHL? OHHH, Chi for... I get it.

I am simply perplexed that we got ANYTHING for them. Look at Garth Snow, selling a Pinto in his best Herb Tarlek checkered suit.

 

[seafoam]

Making room.

 

[nyscene]

Although not sad to see them go it does point to a larger problem overall with the organization

 

[IslesRock4]

Making room.

Yep. Couple contract spots.

 

[Words Of Wisdom]

Lmao, our biggest acquisition this off season, "PMB" traded for a 4th round pick. Says a lot about our GM.

 

[salsa man]

Seems like a steal for you guys. Chicago just took on your garbage.

 

[A Pointed Stick]

Making room.

? We were over the cap floor by a few mill. There's room for all sorts of crap.

 

[crashthenet]

Does Garth get 10% of what he saves cheapskate-in-charge?

 

[WangMustGo]

dont let the door hit you on the way out. Seems like a move to make room for something else.

Opens up roster spots, Strome can be brought up with no problem now. Wang saves money. Addition by subtraction.

 

[bigd]

I feel a big move coming tomorrow.
