Are you talking about the time he was sent down to Juniors or those 7 or so games he was sent to the AHL.
10-11 when he went to Syracuse. RC wasn't fired until the following season.
I think it's interesting that so many people are willing to trade Vatanen+ for Nino, because LW is our biggest weakness. I may be higher than most on Sami, but it seems to me we're seriously lacking in the RHS defenseman department ourselves. I think a booming RH shot on the point during the PP is one of our biggest weaknesses, and I think BB and Murray agree.
As for Fowler for Nino, that's just a laughable exchange.
I think most are realizing that the prospects/players that the Isles would be after in dealing Nino would be Palms, Holland, Lindholm, and Vatanen. Out of that group, I would be least opposed to trade Vatanen.
I don't remember him being unhappy or anything. I remember it gave him a wake up call and so he went on to score like a point a game down there to then be called up like 7 games later.
I hope I don't regret asking this but...if Perry makes it obvious he won't sign here would you trade him for Nino + a 1st?

I'd expect the Islanders to have a top 5 pick so I would certainly entertain the trade offer. However, I can't see Perry accepting a contract there if he won't here. Which in turn would be a bad trade for Long Island.
But if for some reason Perry would play there I would probably make that trade. A top prospect along with a very high draft pick in a very good draft.

Well, I'm just thinking out loud, if Wang finally agrees to spend money with his new arena maybe Perry is the guy he makes a stupid offer for. If Perry wants more money than we can afford I think the Isles are much less of a fishbowl/spotlight than the Rangers, Leafs, or Habs.
I wouldnt hang up... not sure islanders go for it tho, unless perry has a secret love for new york and basement dwelling teams.
Islanders' media market seems perfect for Perry as the Isles will almost always play second fiddle to the Rags. Isles also have a young and underrated D-core, as well as an already young superstar in Tavares. If Perry were guaranteed to reup with the Isles, I can see this trade being good for both teams, of course pending Perry is guaranteed not to reup here.
Top 5 pick in this draft would likely guarantee us a legit 2c, mohonan barkov and lindholm... not to shabby.
I heard someone was saying Perry has been playing LW when Palms is on the line in the last two games. Not sure, does anyone know for sure one way or the other?
No chance in HELL
Palmieri has been playing LW - Perry played LW when Lupul was on that line and the one game last season that Palmieri played with them. Which is surprising considering Norfolk used him exclusively at RW. He's looked good there so far though.
Palmieri may start on the LW at faceoffs, but more often than not, it seems like he's down the right side of the ice. But, whatever works... works. So I'm not complaining.

That question's moot, because New York would never shell out the money to retain Perry.
Did you see my next post? There has been talk Wang might start spending when he moves to Brooklyn. This would only be one year early.
