lol.

But you never know. If they move a few more bodies for picks by the deadline we could easily threaten to go below the floor.

I really really really really want to see or hear the NHL lambast Wang for taking a revenue sharing check and promptly starving our club of help they desperately needed. It is time for the NHL, to go full NFL, and force Chuck to hire real staff and run a real club.

Most teams dump salary, not the the isles, they keep it, not to help trade value, but to stay above cap floor

:laugh::handclap:

The fact TWO of our "blockbuster offseason acquisitions" are put together and worth a 4th round pick, I can't even begin to describe. :help:

Anders Lee, come on down!

Hopefully Vanek and MacDonald are moved tomorrow.

All season people complain about these two. We move them and now people complain gibe me a break. Anything to **** and moan about its a joke. All doom and gloom.

We were somehow able to get a pick for two players that most teams wouldn't sign in the darkest hour.

Now strome (and most likely Lee) will get legit NHL looks while some how gaining a pick in all this.

As far as the salary retention, is this coming out of your pocket? Please don't tell me yes because you buy tickets and merch. I am currently wearing a hammer shirt and have a closet full of islander gear and am damn proud of it. Called being a fan! Which is being there through thick and thin!

People here are not complaining about the trade.

They are laughing at the top of their lungs, that this was our big free agent splash last year.:help:

I gotta say, on the initial bluff i thought this was a joke. I cant believe anyone took them at any price. Bye bye guys. Definitely making room.

On the other hand, what could be more illustrative of a classically islander cluster**** where all our hopes and dreams in september turned into a fourth round pick by february. We can only hope by some miracle that garth got decent return for vanek.

Not hard to grasp. Fans have been calling these two guys out all season. Now they are mocking Snow for trading them. Furthermore mocking we retained 50% of their salary.

Fans want their cake and eat it too. Snow somehow managed to get a pick for these guys. Why feel the need to make the situation worse by mockig the move?

To some fans this is the islanders waving the white flag.

Sad to say, but isles would have been better off bringing back Brad Boyes

Dude, people were complaining when we signed them because they were not good players, and they were our golden UFA pick ups last off season.
People are now complaining because what was obvious in Sept, that these two were not the keys stones in making sure we reach the playoffs again, is now easily shown as they both only bring a 4th round pick! No one is actually complaining we traded them, its more of a feeling of rage when the two "big" UFAs from last off season were now scraps worthy of a 4th round pick.
