C’est officiel, Nazem Kadri ne sera pas un New Yorkais cette saison. Alors, où va le GM Lou Lamoriello à partir d’ici? Les Islanders ont toujours besoin d’un ailier buteur et ils restent la seule équipe de la ligue à ne pas avoir fait de nouvelle signature depuis le début de l’agence libre de la LNH. Nous discutons également du classement de TSN des 32 duos de gardiens de but des équipes de la LNH. Où se sont classées les îles et sommes-nous d’accord avec cette évaluation ? Tout cela et plus encore sur le podcast Locked On Islanders d’aujourd’hui avec Gil Martin.

glad we didnt get him
Paying that much for a 7yr contract is insane for a guy thats almost 32
Islanders are set at center and Kadri’s most productive seasons are at center so it’s for the best. I’m hoping Lou is looking at a wing for the first line that’s what they desperately need. But I’m losing faith in Lou with the season upon us. It’s a shame Trotz gets fired and Lou still has a job. I hope I’m wrong about Lou.
Hi Gil, as always I love the show! I was very happy no Kadri today—just an insane contract! Why Did the Flames do it? The can contend with him——we can squeeze in with him—not acceptable to suffocate the cap moving forward. I’ve come to this conclusion guys—for me—-If I can trade for Miler and he accepts 5/7 I would make that happen only if—-we can get him for Beau/2nd rounder and a another prospect that’s not Ratty or Dufor—-otherwise Canucks will have to settle for the customary number 1 late round pick and only if he signs 5 years-no more. I wanted Tarasenko but they want Ratty and no way. That kid is not the “Savior” of this franchise—him and Dufor are simply the future. If that can’t happen—-as owners this is what I do. If we are out by 10 or more by NYE—-I fold. Trade the vets by the deadline—-time to finally say goodbye. Have to trade Barzal if he does not sign—-just have to!! Can’t have another pajama boy fiasco! As an owner I ask Lou to stand down come the deadline and let him finish the year. Rebuild? Not exactly——the nucleus is very good—-if they could get surrounded by speed, a sniper and a big fish—-we can be right back by next summer. Rebuild to me means having a bunch of kids that you know aren’t going anywhere like Arizona. Yet—-great trades can be made with a new Gm and we can go shopping and hope we can reel in a big fish finally. A new young Pro active Gm needs to be put in place—-I don’t see why it’s so hard with the nucleus, goaltending and Defence this team has——what’s hurting are the old legs that come deadline are always attractive to other teams——for me they have till NYE—-I love Barzie but let someone pay him 10/11million—-I would not and I love the kid. He’s not Palffy who could get 40/50 on a bad team—-he’s just not. He’s a playmaker—-I need for that kind of $$$. I just feel other Gm’s try to fleece Lou because he’s old, team has limited talent and they all want Ratty and Or Dufor. Imagine if Whally, Bellows, Dufor and Ratty ever play together and we become a scoring machine because of it? I’m an older loyalist, I want to win now but I’d rather sacrifice the year after NYE than continue this route. It can be remedied quickly but not by this GM—-he’s had his day.
The best trade in NY Islanders history that never happened, thank God!
as much as it would have been nice to have kadri for 2-3 years isles dodged a 7×7 bullet on this one. and either being asleep or unable to move salary out kept this deal from going down as kadri wanted and got 7×7. and would have left isles with overload of c's having to move barzal to wing where he hasn't played. nothing else isles can do at this point. best thing for isles to do now is just keep the cap savings and go after a big fish scorer at tdl. unless someone falls into their hands before season due to teams having to get under the cap no other choice right now. just have to hope romanov plus subtraction of z and greene makes the d better. and same sorry group of forwards returns. gotta hope wahlstrom and bellows with more offensive game/proper spot can score. i wouldn't count on it since they are both flawed and basically carbon copies of each other. both can shoot, that's about it. maybe dufour or raty can surprise in camp and earn a spot. that would help to have two elc's on the roster who can score/contribute. then there's the tdl where lou loves to overpay. in fact i wouldn't even be mad if he threw another first away (lotto protected in '23) to get a rental like j t, tarasenko, or p kane since isles suck at drafting forwards in the first round. they have better luck in the second and fifth rounds. and it sounds like a broken record but ISLES need two top six upgrades and a proven 35 goal SCORER to be legit. or the other option…just let the season go to he-ll, unload everyone tradable, and go for bedard along with the other 10 teams lining up for him like az, b hawks, flyers, kraken. still got the euro and fantelli up top.
its pretty much game over for off-season. beau and bailey are staying now. and isles can't do anything with bailey until next off-season and one year $5 mil. left. could just buy him out then. too bad they can't still dump bailey and give say a sonny milano a shot on a cheap short term deal. could add a little juice and skill to middle six. more than bailey offers these days. or trade beau to habs for second/piece and sign milano to open up more cap room.
Miss the playoffs….again
Lou has only been successful with trades and signings but no one wants Bailey or Beauvillier
Best non move ever! If they signed this guy, it would have killed this team for years. Lou couldn’t get anyone because he kept signing older guys long term along with a lot of money and term for the bottom six. This would have a knee jerk signing just so that it looked like Lou did something. Hopefully if the team does nothing this year, Lou goes out the door. Get ready for Brazal to walk
Thank you GOD this is the best news all summer……now remove Lou and bring new guy to think about our future
Trade for ‘Joltin’ JT Miller. Three years younger than Kadri, another year at $5.25M, and more weapons.
So happy they didn't get him. Made no sense. They need a young fast goal scoring wing. He's none of those things.
It's time to move on from Lou. Too many misfires. How many is it now? 5…6? He has mismanaged cap. I think back to Boychuck and how the team would have blown up if he didn't go on LTIR and retire. He let Toews go for chump change when he could have worked out the cap since he got just $4.5 mil with the Avs. He failed to re-sign Lehner, even if just to trade him. He ejected Eberle for zero return while choosing to protect Clutterbuck, and that move killed the production of the Barzal line. If you look Pageau's production, Lou way overpaid in assets, picks, and salary. One of Lou's first signings was…….wait for it…Komarov, at $3 mil a year! INSANE! If you know that you MUST sign a top winger to skate with Barzal, and we ALL knew that's what was needed, how the hell does he fail to package Bailey with Varly and get it done? He could certainly get back a solid goalie prospect in that deal. Hell, DiPietro is available. Now we have an inexperienced coach to try and make the SAME TEAM better than they were under Trotz.
Lou is outdated and useless. It's clear that GM's and players don't want to deal with him and his archaic rules and procedures. Time to press his eject button and give the new GM time to make a solid move.
Well, back to becoming the laughing stock of the metro. Fun.
Answer…..finish last in their division
vgk need a goalie. wake the hell up lou. you deal bailey in a need move for a desperate team. bailey/varly for player/pick. vgk are an impulsive move team who don't care about the cap.
Coach Trotz is one of the best there is. I don't know why people think letting him go wasnt a mistake. I know he had no patience with youngsters and that was frustrating, but i'll trust his judgement over the fanbase every day.
I can’t stand going into the hockey season already knowing the Isles will be outmanned and outgunned whenever they face “real” hockey teams
Get Vladimir tarsenko
JT miller.
