New York Islanders/NHL Free Agency Open Thread, Links

Today's the day. Crazy things will happen. You just hope they don't happen to your team, unless they're crazy in a "You know what? This thing just might work." sort of way.

The Islanders have their needs. Vaguely referenced by Garth Snow in the Post, fairly speculated here in Newsday. NYI FYI offered some potential targets.

Chat all day: This post can be your all-day "home base" thread, but for live Skype-tastic interaction Keith and Mark are bringing the Flashlight back to chat things over live at about noon. [link at justin.tv] Harass them.

Resources:

• We took our own spin at the available forwards here (and in the fine video above). A look at the D depth chart (with NHL holes) here.
• Fourth Period has a top 30 free agents list that is updated as players sign.
• Some key Twitter accounts: Bob McKenzie of TSN; TSN's Darren Dreger; Arthur Staple of Newsday (Isles);
• TSN free agent tracker
• Humor: PGI with an in-depth chart on why free agents sign where they do, along with helpful U-Haul rates for the move.

If you're sharing rumors/reports here or in the Flashlight thread, kindly provide a source or link, or else prepare to be laughed at like the average message board or Twitter chump.
