@EthanGSN Keep us informed as to who is the next exit for the cottage!

@IFANnetwork25 @IslesNation your point is valid - but - running this team back is not going to result in a Cup, and even worse - sets up for a 9th place in conference finish. THAT is the worst outcome. WE SHALL SEE! I'd like to see one more Cup in my lifetime :)

[Patrick Tracey @PTracey1940]

@UpTheTurnpike NO

[Patrick Tracey @PTracey1940]

@IslesNation @IFANnetwork25 Keep the pick. Best on Board available. We have a lot of long term contracts to burn a year of and be sellers at deadline if we are not in contention. We are not cup contenders and need roster turnover and cap space creation

[Patrick Tracey @PTracey1940]

@georgemalik I would like to know why too. He did a great job in 2002 for the #isles and helped them greatly that season. I hope he gets in someday!!!!

[Patrick Tracey @PTracey1940]

@ehornick @goldieonice And the cap space......that is valuable here as well with Brady's contract off the books.

[Patrick Tracey @PTracey1940]

@IslesDen Long‑term deals have boxed us in. This season should be about burning a year off those contracts, moving older players at the deadline, and stockpiling picks/prospects (see: Ritchie, C). Be a cap‑retention bank, maximize returns, and free up real space to reset the roster

[Patrick Tracey @PTracey1940]

@IslesDen Really can't evaluate this until after UFA season has transpired. But this season might be a year to burn off some term on the long term contracts and deal off vets at trade deadline. I'd rather finish last than 9th in the conference. But we need to HIT at the draft table!

@sab31nyi @RTaub_ He is a Rag$ Fan. I recall him being honored with a banner at MSG w Graves and Richter. Early days - sang the National Anthem at MSG before a hockey game.

[Patrick Tracey @PTracey1940]

@RTaub_ 1) have it happen in my lifetime
2) Inside UBS Arena
3) Hoping that it happens soon enough so Denis, Bobby Ny, and other NYI alum who never got to win - were part of it (within the next few years)
4) with my family and friends
5) On the road if we must and I can manage it!

@wings_prince @RTaub_ I was going to use "scheduled loss" but I was being nice to my team! :)

[Patrick Tracey @PTracey1940]

@IslesUpNorth I think the key is to HIT on your draft picks, and use trades to fill in holes and only trade picks when you are already in the WIN NOW window. NYI Could have had Larkin or Pasta instead of MDC. B. Point instead of JHS.

@VinnysCorner1 5 consecutive finals appearances - winning the first 4 appearances in the finals.

@RezaC1 # 1 - J.P. Parise scores at 11 seconds in OT in 3rd and deciding game in the 1975 first round series. Islanders in their 3rd season advance at MSG !

@IslesCave Like “The Miracle on Manchester “ game in the 80’s when the Kings overcame 5-0 deficit to beat Edmonton

@nut_history If the 50 home run guy is hitting.330 then I want that guy. If the 50 HR guy is batting.235 then I want the other guy
