If the Frans was traded...

I would want a large Defensive prospect preferably NHL ready (23-25) who could come in and play now while being cost controlled for a little while. Any thoughts?

What would you want for him?

I would want it to be for Lebron James. Say what you will, that guy will win some championships, and ESPN would actually pay attention to hockey, especially the Islanders.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...

for the team to take DP too, no seriously a young C and 3rd round pick

or 1st round pick

the C would have to be ready to make it to the NHL if it is a long term prospect I want a 2nd round

Any task BIG or small, Do it well or not at all

Can’t see us adding another Center. Ullstrom can play center too.

agreed, centre is the one position the Isles have depth

Strome may very well start @ wing like most centres, but @ this point, it is looking like the future will be JT, Strome, Bailey and probably Cizikas down centre…the scouts claim Ullstrom is more aggressive, more offensive on the wing, plays less physical and more defensive when @ centre, hence moving him to wing…the said the same thing about mika Z recently, and he too has been moved to wing.

If that's what the best offer is though

I say take it, and then look to package some of those guys in a deal for dman (all of this is assuming we can’t resign Frans).

A st rounder or a legit D signed for at least 3 years

but with Colliton likely gone from BP next year, that would leave DP as the last Milbury pick with the Franchise….the haters will have a field day.

Isles Reading

Islanders Schedule

1979-80


May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.

The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.

1980-81


May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.

Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.

1981-82


May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.

A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.

1982-83


May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.

Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
