Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYI] Ross Johnston re-signs for four years, $1M AAV one-way

[Carlzner]

Lou's gambling on all of his 4th liners fusing together to take on Tom Wilson

At least Komarov can play 16 minutes a night in a variety of roles.

He can play 16 minutes a night but I think that it'd be in the best interest of the team having him play as little as possible.

 

[Captain Mountain]

He's a better skater and has better hands that Martin. Also didn't look lost in the offensive zone for a tough guy fourth liner. Martin was always a step or two behind Cizikas and Clutterbuck when he was here.

For the Islanders' sake I hope you're right, but his shooting profile is one of the worst I've seen in the NHL.

Kinda looks like signing Andreas Martinsen for 4 years.

Ross clearly has that handled on his own... still shouldnt have gotten this contract but oh well

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

eh... when hes ****ing up your team you probably wont find it as funny

It definitely won’t be as funny as Lou ****ing up your team, that’s for sure.

 

[Erndog]

Thank God Lou didn't have full control in Toronto and there was Shanny, Dubas and Hunter to reign him in.

 

[ijuka]

Next thing we know he's going to bring Brian Strait back to Islanders and also sign Anthony Peluso.

 

[Carlzner]

The entire NYI offseason revolves around beating Tommy Wilson in a fight

Incredible

 

[ForsbergForever]

Based on what Lou Lams has done so far this offseason with full hockey executive powers I start to wonder how many prospective trades Shanahan vetoed last year that Lou wanted to make.

 

[One Winged Angel]

I don't get the term. Did Lou think he was bidding against someone?

I also wonder who is getting moved or sitting in Bridgeport.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

This is my favorite sport. I consider myself obsessed with it.

And I have absolutely no idea who this is. Never heard of the guy.

Barzal and the kids will be protected while the season goes down the tubes. We're tanking.

Tanking for 4 years though?

 

[joestevens29]

He can play 16 minutes a night but I think that it'd be in the best interest of the team having him play as little as possible.

Given the other signings they probably need to play him 20 minutes a night.

 

[Wanderson]

Awesome. Love it!

We stilll have Hickey. He’s Tom Wilson’s kryptonite

 

[Slyfox]

As a Leafs fan I'm liking what Lou's doing.

 

[seabass45]

This is the Islanders special. Didn't they do similar with Frans Nielson, Andrew MacDonald and others?

They did, which is why I'm worried that Garth is still involved with contracts.

 

[weems]

At least Komarov can play 16 minutes a night in a variety of roles.

That's very debatable.

He looked toast for most of last season.

 

[joestevens29]

I really hope this topic gets a second thread.

 

[joestevens29]

That's very debatable.

He looked toast for most of last season.

Compared to Martin,JOhnston, Fillpula, Ladd and others I think he'll be fine

 

[Thrasymachus]

As a Leafs fan I'm liking what Lou's doing.

for the islanders, or for your leafs ;P

 

[DJN21]

If you can't beat em...beat em. I'll be entertained anyways...

 

[Nico the Draft Riser]

Thats the Lou we all have known since the salary cap era began

 

[Linda Bacon]

I like what Lou is doing, good signing

 

[JimmyG89]

It definitely won’t be as funny as Lou ****ing up your team, that’s for sure.

When the other team is skating circles around them, it's going to be hard to hit them.
