Another New York Islander getting good reviews is Travis Hamonic. "A beast," said one scout. I mentioned this last year, but a couple of teammates said he just had to understand how good he is. Sounds like he's figuring it out.

We need to settle the arena and be treated like a real team. Of course players don't want to come here. Look at the Nets now. Players are taking pay cuts to go there !
Brooklyn Islanders NOW!

Bobby Butler is on waivers. I have a feeling Garth will pick him up. He is a guy who needs a second chance and hes pretty cheap and still 25 years old.

All of these top draft picks are getting signed. Anybody know why or why not Griffin Rienhart hasnt signed an ELC yet?

Feb 2013, trade deadline approaches. Isles (in my game) are in 5th for now, but a 4 game losing streak out of 10th. The team is inconsistent, posting a 7-2 win over Pittsburgh then blowing a 5-0 3rd period lead to a 14th place team.

Sharks are in a similar situation in the west.

San Jose has offered Marc-Edward Vlasic, their 2013 1st round and 4th round picks for Mark Streit. Streit is set to go UFA at the end of the season. Vlasic is RFA and will end up making about what Streit makes now. Vlasic is 10 years younger than Streit.

Do you make this trade?

I heard that Edmonton wants Mark Striet. I would only give him up for Nick Schultz or Ryan Whitney. What do you think?

Players I would go after in free agency in order to fill out the rest of the roster and the salary cap:
Tim Stapleton, Alexander Semin, Peter Mueller, Andrei Kostitsyn, Dominic Moore, Kyle Wellwood, Carlo Colaiacovo, and Jason Arnott. Thoughts?

I've been hearing rumors about the canadians wanting Kyle Okposo. Anyone else hearing these rumors?

All of Suter’s preferred destinations, should he leave the Predators, are in the Western Conference – not the East.

#Isles had 3 prospects visit LI: Ds Ryan Murray and Matthew Dumba and Mikhail Grigorenko. Four more intvws scheduled in Pitt prior to draft
