Two Islanders bloggers debate what more Garth Snow could have done at the NHL Trade Deadline, and who the next Islanders captain will be.

Talking shop with Islanders GM Garth Snow -- or not.

Bill Guerin was an expensive hired gun for the Islanders, but he did the job he was brought into do before being traded to the Penguins for a measly conditional pick.

Bill Guerin has finally been traded: After the original much-anticipated deal fell through, he goes to Pittsburgh for a 5th-or-greater pick.

Islanders fans digest how UFA contract extensions announced today will affect the market for their own free agents-to-be.

To the disappointment of many but the shock of few, not much happened on the "extra" day before the NHL's trade deadline, as teams focused on waivers, clearing space, and readying for tomorrow.

With 24 hours left for the NHL Trade Deadline, Garth Snow should be lining up competing prices on Bill Guerin, Doug Weight and Andy Hilbert to parlay to the highest bidder.

From the trade of Ryan Whitney and Chris Kunitz to the waiver moves to make room for Daniel Briere, the NHL trade deadline roster frenzy has begun in earnest.

Since it won't hurt GM Garth Snow to hold on to Brendan Witt until this summer, Snow should wait and see if he finds a GM in a weak moment to overpay for Witt at this year's trade deadline.

Chris Campoli is only 24, but Garth Snow's decision to trade him for a late 1st-round pick fits the Islanders' rebuild plan just fine.
