Knew Pokka was playing for Chicago's AHL team, haven't been following him. He was a favorite of ours here, at least the Islanders received the value of a player in Leddy who can here a long time and not a band aid.

Read a few posts about him on the Hawks board and it sounds like he's arguably one of the best 2 d-man on their farm club.
Pokka and Pedan. Shucking the peas, but there's still lots left in the pod (Pulock and Pelech). Wish both Pokka and Pedan well.
Bet $20.00 on the Islanders winning the Stanley Cup in Vegas. Odds dropped from 50:1 to 20:1 since the beginning of the season. They are building an NHL-size arena behind/between New York New York and the Monte Carlo.

Would be great to bury all aspects of the Thomas Vanek trade in grave along with the Yashin and Luongo trades never to be discussed again.

Technically that would mean burying half of Ho-Sang. Which half? You be the judge.
Pokka, imo, was our best defensive prospect in the entire system. I love his game and watched him develop over the last few years. Wouldn't surprise me if he turns into a stud for the Blackhawks.
Leddy has been absolutely fantastic though so I don't regret the trade at all. I just wish we could've somehow kept Pokka but to get something we had to give something up.

I fore one think leaving Ho Sang off was a mistake, but could be the best thing for him. The kid seems to thrive under these circumstances... One of those, tell me I can't and I will try ten times harder to show you I can.

Collberg to Stockton for the playing time: seven games in the next two weeks. #BST
The Luongo trade at least turned into Hamonic eventually, though in a long and convoluted way. So that one isn't all bad.

Dal Colle is dominating right now. Wouldn't be surprised if he made a run at a roster spot next season.

My boy Dal Colle...Was with him from day 1....
He has the size and skill to be a real difference maker at the next level..

Having seen MDC Sunday in Oshawa, don't think we have to worry about him at all.
Treat him like Strome. Not only does he ripen nicely, you also get better production out of his elc. It's a win-win to leave him in the OHL.

What have me bouncing off walls is this possibility:
1993: Islanders experience unlikely playoff run.
1994: Rangers win Stanley Cup.
2014: Rangers experience unlikely playoff run.
2015: Islanders win Stanley Cup and depart NVMC in best possible way?

He could be the prize of the top 5 from 2014. Frankly, I don't watch any hockey other than the New York Islanders, except for rare occasions. So I don't know exactly how Aaron Ekblad is doing in Florida.
Sam Reinhart is back in Kootenay of the WHL, Leon Draisaitl runs he posibility of wilting in the dismal Edmonton Oilers system, and first, Sam Bennet couldn't do a pull-up, then he hurt his shoulder. Skilled and tough? Possibly, but perhaps not durable.
Michael Dal Colle? Good size, good skill, scores goals. Yes, he's in junior, but 20 goals and 44 points in 21 games is better than bad... it's good!

MDC looks like he is going to be a good one.
Ekblad is a beast, has had a huge impact in Florida.
Buffalo was smart to send Reinhart back, give him time.
Edmonton may be wise to send Draisaitk back even though they have burned a year off his ELC.
Bennett was my favorite of the group of three centers, let him get healthy.
Have to give these kids proper time to develop, just look at Strome-it took him a little longer than the other top picks from his draft class, but look how well he is doing.

I agree that's the best thing to do but he'll defiantly make a push next season. It'll give management something to think about at the very least.
and if dal colle was off to a poor start, people would be suggesting that the draft should be judged five years from now.
