Right in the middle of what I thought. Not bad.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Happy with this. Want to see what he can do under Trotz. If he still stinks, trade him at the deadline.

 

[McNurse]

For some reason I don’t like this deal very much, every time I’ve seen Nelson play he just seems lazy, I love that snapshot of his though

 

[Lights911]

Give him a chance at the beginning of the season if he is his usual self again trade him

That's pretty much Nelson. Lazy, soft, useless player... who's good for 20 goals a year.

Maybe that can change with real coaching. Maybe he can become a useful middle 6 player.

Sure, if ya don't die of old age before he actually shoots.

He's a goner at the trade deadline, hope he gets hot and scores some goals. Maybe he can net a 1st, take a cap dump if necessary.

SI90 is Lou Lamoriello confirmed.

SI90 is Lou Lamoriello confirmed.

I’m named after him. He’s my grandfather lol

 

[Wanderson]

SI90 is Lou Lamoriello confirmed.

No, he is Chris Lamoriello. I thought everyone already knew that?

 

[blinkman360]

Fine by me. A "show me" year and we can either sell him at the deadline or let him walk if he flops.

 

[hockeykicker]

weird that now he goes right to ufa

 

[Wanderson]

weird that now he goes right to ufa

No, that's not weird.

 

[SI90]

weird that now he goes right to ufa

Weird that you think that’s weird.

 

[hockeykicker]

Weird that you think that’s weird.

i would have thought that a capabale 20/20 guy would have gotten a little longer then a year but maybe i need to watch him more

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Isles now have 11 forwards signed for 2m or more, and that doesn't include Johnson, Barzal, Beauvillier, Kuhnhackl, Ho Sang, or Dal Colle.

What's the plan, Isles fans?

I heard this guy was tearing up Da Beauty League. Worth every penny

What does Darnell Nurse sign for?

Just messing around.

Seriously though when it comes to Nelson he’s consistently inconsistent.

He’s good for his 20 goals a year but he’ll score 8 in 10 games then none the next 15 games.

Lamoriello and Trotz Evaluating everyone.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

This is what they did with de Haan last year where they sign him to a 1 year deal to send him to ufa. Doubt this ends well.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

So he's basically not going to be an Islander in 19-20 unless they overpay him.
