No he's not God. It is though if you have no idea if your franchise center is staying or going which is pretty apparent right now. The islanders took a huge gamble thanks to Garth freaking Snow and lost big time. Will they recover from this ye probably as I have faith in Lou but it's gonna take a lot more time now.

Snow would have been in charge and he would have gotten a very bad yield for one year of JT... we can't use the Delorean to measure this

I'm expecting the tweet soon... that's it for the night. JT undecided, but #Isles not out of it.

I’m just glad I don’t need to see that God-forsaken poll at the top of the screen anymore

Could turn it into a Jaro Halak poll, he bleeds blue and orange like Rachel Maddow enjoys a night at Chippendales

I don't remember Tavares requesting to not be traded at the deadline and I wouldn't have traded him if he was 50/50. But considering we've upgraded our coach and GM/President and he's still undecided tells me that there's no way he was really undecided when we had Weight/Snow at the helm.

So we've been played.

So it's better to get nothing then something. Interesting logic there. Snow a first rounder and a good prospect at the least but hey better offer taking a huge chance then getting some valuable assets in return at least

I would rather take my chances and sign JT, even if we get nothing for him... we probably keep Snow and Weight if JT was traded

Certainly seems that way.

 

[kk]

Right now ANYTHING could be going on. For all we know Tavares has already agreed in principle to the Isles 8 year deal and they are continuing to hammer out the details. Nothing has been leaked.

 

[MattMartin]

Send in the clowns and put the children to bed... it's over.

I am a fan of TRMS,... just saying how much Jaro likes the Isles

f*** us in a way I never thought he would. Not because he’s leaving but the manner in which it’s going down.

Ewww

Staple reported.

It's true, he could be asking for Matt Moulson to be signed and Cappy to be on the bench

 

[MYIslanders]

Is Tavares a huge part of this team? Yes. That being said, the kids might have something to prove if he leaves, and we would be very well under the cap to take care of some business next year. I want him to stay, but him deciding to leave wouldn’t be the end of the world in 2 years. If I had a choice between keeping snow, weight, and JT...or trading all 3 for LL and Trotz, I would do it every time. That’s how I’m looking at this if he leaves.

 

[KidThatWonTheCalder]

Ewww

Go. Away.

if he re-signs? easily better than that return

Completely agreed.

You leave gracefully and professionally, if you are to.

 

[thegoldenyear]

I’m just glad I don’t need to see that God-forsaken poll at the top of the screen anymore

It had dipped to a five-vote He's Staying margin. Maybe buddy's watching and waiting until it drops to even to pull us back off the ledge.

he said he didn't want to be traded, confirmed

The Isles were not going to fire that combo of Snow/Weight... so that is a huge saving grace
