Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2019-20 Pt. III

[PK Cronin]

What would it take for hall and to take Ladd? First and two prospects?

To get Hall and give them Ladd? Jesus, I don't even want to think about the cost of that.

Jimmy Murphy is a hack. Don’t buy it.

anyway, why is this good. Why in the world
would you not want Hall?

Don't want to pay the price for a rental. If it's cheap, sure, but if it was cheap everyone would be in on it and why would the Devils help us?

 

[CupHolders]

Why would Hall do that though? His agent is that Ferris guy, Marner's agent. He's going to July 1st, I'm willing to bet having to eat Chipotle every day for a month thus further destroying my colon.

On the other hand, it’s a good chance the Isles finally catch Washington if you do...

 

[Le Grec]

From Brooksie:

Josh Ho-Sang, man without a team, continues to skate and work out in Toronto as he waits for Lou Lamoriello to include him in a trade. The winger had asked the Islanders GM to deal him after he cleared waivers and was assigned to the AHL Sound Tigers after failing to make the NHL roster out of camp. Lamoriello then excused him from reporting.
Ian Pulver, Ho-Sang’s agent, told Slap Shots on Friday that Ho-Sang has no issues with the way Lamoriello is going about this and the fact the 23-year-old is not playing anywhere is “of mutual consent.”
“Everything has been above board,” said Pulver, who has never been an agent known to go along to get along.

So the agent is dumber than JHS

 

[xECK29x]

So basically he admitted his client doesn't want to play hockey to try to improve his value? Ho-Sang is an enigma.

Another hockey player with incompetent representation.

He’d better get ready to play in Europe next year.

If he was to play in Europe, why wouldnt he be here already? Maybe hockey is not really the thing for him.

I am kinda glad JHS is not in Bridgeport. They have a crappy team this season and we know how many posts we'd have complaining about JHS destroying the locker room.

I don't think he'd be in Bridgeport if he actually went to Bridgeport first. The amount of injuries would've likely kept him up for a long while.

 

[The Real JT]

They seem to have a decent amount of talent on the offensive side between prospects and AHL veterans. If we believe the hype, we have 3 or more ready or almost ready prospects on D. Goaltending has been admittedly weak even with the coaching brought in.

At what point does some of this fall on Thompson’s shoulders¿

 

[Doshell Propivo]

They'd be in first place with Ho-Sang.

 

[xECK29x]

They'd be in first place with Ho-Sang.

I don’t think .5 PPG in the AHL Ho-Sang was going to help the Tigers from letting in 5 goals a game, goaltending is the major issue there

"Ian Pulver, Ho-Sang’s agent, told Slap Shots on Friday that Ho-Sang has no issues with the way Lamoriello is going about this........."
Who gives a fat rats ass if ho sang has issues with it or not? His opinion on how lamoriello handles the situation is absolutely meaningless.

 

[CREW99AW]

we avoid bitch*** & whining about every turnover,every brutally honest comment

So glad to see even the least offensive and meaningless JHS news still triggers his critics.

As I said,I am glad he is away from the disaster in Bridgeport.

what time is Ho Sang getting up Monday? This kid has no reality...

I mean this has to be a joke. How delusional is this guy? Oh yeah, it's best to sit around doing nothing while waiting for a trade to a team that would presumably be taking a flier on a known head case. This guy won't be in hockey ever again! Who in their right mind would take this guy on board??

 

[IslesNorway]

I cannot believe Ho-Sang would rather not play and wait for trade that may never materialise than stick it out in Bport for another year. The guy is simply destroying his own career with good help from his agent.

I'm over it. He easily would've been playing Islander hockey this season had he just reported.

Used to love the kid, but the bridge is burned.

 

[DonLou13]

That literally just might be the most idiotic quote from an agent I've ever seen.

 

[crasherino]

Don’t think he can - he’s under contract this year. Next year he’s an RFA.

 

[Strummergas]

What about Vanek?

I have less interest in Vanek than I do Kovy, although I'm not sure if it's possible to have less than zero interest in something.

 

[doublechili]

Yeah, it's too bad that agent lives in the city, because he's depriving some village of a pretty good idiot.

Which agent was it that Milbury called a village idiot again? Was it Bergenheim? I think it was for a Euro player.
