Daddy'ing the shit out of this ...

Re: #isles first round pick Malte Gustafsson

We believe he has more upside than some of the defensive prospects selected ahead, like Keaton Verhoeff and Alberts Šmits, making him a high-value pick at 13th overall.

@IslesFix Disagree. IMO, Lee is now at the year by year basis … if he’s good next season, he’ll get another one year deal.

Can’t limit flexibility going forward

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@philzfactz The #isles don’t have cap issues

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@datadomNY @MikeBartner At that point, fuck it, just keep him. Make his life miserable for two years

@philzfactz Save it for the podcast amateur

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@islanders_takes @angryirishmac That pick was fantastic but at this point, we have to assume that was the aberration, his picks, trades and FA signings have been abysmal ever since.

@SperryTime Can you bookmark it next to your Dobson is going to the hall of fame post?

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@kenredwings @alex_crescenti @DetroitRedWings @umichhockey Regardless of how tired he is, this is terrible form

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@islanders_takes @angryirishmac Tired or not, this is really bad. I know kids who are 9 who are better skaters,

Yzerman illustrating over and over again that he’s just not good at this

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@philzfactz Lee’s replacement is Palmieri

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@JayEdlin What? Who me?

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

Just checked out “Off The Island” pod —. It’s fantastic!

[Isles Den @IslesDen]

What are your guys’ favorite NHL Podcasts?

Having trouble finding ones I like other than 32 Thoughts and Tri-State (which I kind of consider an NYI one).

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@mknycto @IslesDen Phil isn’t that bad 😉

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@EmeraldIsles43 @AGrossNewsday Going more than 1 year is not good, going more than 2 would be awful.

This is all about term.

We could have 35m in cap room and Darche wouldn’t give him 3-4 years which I agree with

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@ariel_cornfield @islanders_takes That’s why he wasn’t moved. He and/or Pelech could be moved within 12 months

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@ariel_cornfield He’s not trying to trade him

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@EmeraldIsles43 @AGrossNewsday Not a money issue. Darche doesn’t want to give him term which I think his pretty smart

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@IslesDen @JFreshHockey Ken Holland, Kevin Cheveldayoff, Drury, Davidson are all pretty horrific

Kevyn Adams before that

I’m not a huge fan of Jarmo but we’ll see how he does over next 18 months

Re: Darche … despite Phil’s rants, he’s TBD.

[David Tuchman @TuckonSports]

@islanders_takes @IslesDen Would’ve been fine either way. Not gonna lose any sleep over it
