Sure hope a contract extension is coming for Vanek or he can walk away from the Islanders
next year. |

I was reading that Vanek has his eye on Minnesota, and that he may have already been there is the Wild had been able to buy-out Heatley during the summer.
Will be interesting to see if Vanek's heart leads him to Minnesota after this season, or if the Islanders can dangle enough cash in front of him, combined with how things turn out playing with Tavares - in order to convince him to stay. |

I've heard about Vanek to Minny for a while now. Not sure if the Wild would want to take on another contract like that long term.

Islanders are rolling the dice. Hope they can get Vanek to stay. Would love to see the Isles become something again

Isles had a great season last year. Almost taking out the Pens was exciting stuff. They have a good core of young guys that all hang out together and want to win. They have a bright future I think.

They've got some fantastic young defencemen in the pipeline.

I had no confidence that I spelled his name right and I was right about that.
Aitokallio was the right answer |

Knowing Roy's history, Varlamov will probably get the next 20 starts.

I think this is understood by this point but the Flyers are pretty much a joke.

Crazy game last night, glad to win. Nabakov scares the living shit out of me though. They need a better goalie but there aren't exactly many other options.

And yeah as mentioned, I have my doubts on Vanek staying with the Isles unless they put together an even better run than last year. They were going to lose Moulson to free agency anyway so that evens out - but losing a 1st and 2nd for a rental is a huge risk if they don't play deep into the playoffs.
Some have made the argument that the Isles have enough talented young players waiting in the wings to make losing the picks be a non-issue, but you can never have enough depth. |

Saw this Oilers mess coming 3 years ago. It's what happens when you spend every lottery pick on a forward and neglect your d and goaltending.

In fairness, Dubnyk was supposed to be better than this.

How well or bad has Taylor Hall developed the past few years for the Oilers?
Only remember how him and Seguin were hyped as both potential cornerstones for their teams and big stars for the league itself. |

I think that before the season is over, we'll see Yakupov + draft pick traded for a goalie. You have to think that MacT has his eye on Optimus Reim. |

He's in his 5th season. After his 3rd full season he still hadn't shown #1 goaltender status. I realize their defence has been bad, but Dubnyk wasn't exactly Terry Sawchuk either. Also, getting a reliable back up to challenge Dubnyk would have helped and not one whose legs fall off if he makes consecutive starts (Khabibulin)

Yeah I don't know why they didn't sign Theodore (still available I think) or someone of that stature to be backup/mentor for Dubnyk.
Also Yakopov will be good, so will(is) Gagner. Their problem is goal and defence. Terrible |

Yeah, Theodore is actually in the KHL right now. Yakupov and Gagner will be good. Think they are expecting too much out of Gagner to be honest.
