Just got Mike Reilly, he's mobile
Gotta give Romanov some credit, he's stepped up munching big minutes while Pelech has been out. Reilly has been an upgrade on Aho as the #6 option.

Oh it would but I wouldn’t even be surprised at this rate.Well that would suck
Broberg for Wahlstrom. No take backs.Lou probably thought this was Broberg
It's against his code of conduct. That's why he popularized the neutral zone trap.Lou doesn't do mobile.
He’ll probably have the same impact Brayden Coburn did for us, same price paidHe’s a 6th/7th locker room guy at this point in his career. If he’s expected to do any more than that it will not end well.
Holy shit I completely forgot about Coburn lmaoHe’ll probably have the same impact Brayden Coburn did for us, same price paid
Dirty player that is awful. This helps when teams play the Islanders. He isn't that good.
Not sure how much he has left in the tank, but he’s been a healthy scratch most of the year and probably wants a chance to play. Seems like a “favor to the player” trade.

That's what we need. I assume he can still kill penalties. Nice to see a trade where all three parties get what they need.He’s a 6th/7th locker room guy at this point in his career. If he’s expected to do any more than that it will not end well.
Yeah he is an excellent skater but I need my boy to work on his outlet pass.Gotta give Romanov some credit, he's stepped up munching big minutes while Pelech has been out. Reilly has been an upgrade on Aho as the #6 option.
Army confirmed it was to do a solid for Borts. He wants to play. and to show coins he is with another contract. Blues want to evaluate/develop younger guys.I wouldn't be surprised if this is a favor from Army to send Bortz somewhere where he can get some playing time. On opening day, you could see the disappointment in his face that he wasn't in the lineup. Now that Perunovich is getting regular playing time, Bortz would have been in the press box more often than not.
Sad to see him go. I think he can still help a team as a 6/7 d-man who will always bust his ass and stand up for teammates. Isles fans, you'll like having Bortuzzo on your team ya know
Probably just looking to give him a better chance at playing as a thank you for years of service.Now that’s surprising. I forgot he started out in Pittsburgh. He’s been in St Louis so long I was thinking he was a career Blue. I feel like you don’t usually see a team trade their longest tenured player for a 7th but I could be wrong?
You just wrote a 6-paragraph post about Hanifin after fringe defenseman has been traded for a 7th. Big believer in dominoes I see.If Lou has serious interest in Hanifin, I doubt this effects any deal with Calgary. They needed another NHL body and he fits their boring scheme. If there’s a team that may still believe, “the boards are your best friend”, it’s Lou’s teams.
Unfortunately, the Leafs could’ve actually used someone like him. He and Benoit could’ve bored us to death, but at least we know the two of them would know what to do, just sometimes they’re not quick enough to.
As for Hanifin, things seem to be really quiet. Although, we have seen Calgary announce two things. Kylington and the Psysk signing. They’ll have to have a few bodies when they move Hanifin and Tanev (if they move Tanev), and those two dmen, will be able to give them NHL minutes. Plus, they’ll likely get an NHL dman in part of any Hanifin package.
It is super quiet on that front though. Which might tell us, the 3 managers who aren’t afraid to make big deals, and generally keep it quiet, could be up to something. Vegas, Detroit and the Islanders.
If Vegas can get Hanifin, they’ll have Pietrangelo, Theodore and Hanifin carrying that D-core for the next two playoffs, and then choose to keep Theodore or Pietrangelo, as Theodore goes into UFA. With the cap going where it is, and a couple of contracts coming off, they’ll be able to resign their UFAs and Hanifin. Vegas and Detroit would both be able to put a really nice package together (without blinking) too.
That’s where I’m not sure the Isles have the greatest shot at Hanifin. He could change the power structure, depending on where he goes.
The Isles blueline would actually be lethal with Hanifin but I’m not sure it’s even a top priority at this moment:You just wrote a 6-paragraph post about Hanifin after fringe defenseman has been traded for a 7th. Big believer in dominoes I see.
