Rumors
- Nolan Out as Isles Coach
- Ted Nolan and the New York Islanders officially parted company today in a move that has been brewing for months. GM Garth Snow announced that he will immediately begin searching for a replacement and has several candidates in mind.
- The Habs lose Ryder, Streit and Danis and perhaps even the hopes for Sundin.
- So Michael Ryder is gone for good with The Boston Bruins and Mark Streit and Yann Danis left for the New-York Islanders. What do all these players have in common? None of them received an offer from The Montreal Canadiens. But wait, Mats Sundin did. Too bad this guy is l.o.s.t.!
- Islander Draft Review: Josh Bailey
- The 2008 NHL Entry Draft was a highly anticipated event for Islander fans. With the Islanders holding the #5 pick, they were almost assured of coming away with an impact player. However, GM Garth Snow chose to restock the Prospect pool and traded down twice to the #9 spot in order to gain more picks in the second and third rounds. It was a risky move, but it could pay off huge dividends in the future. Here's a look at the prospects the Islanders drafted.
- Is Ryan Malone really worth 7 million?
- Over the last few days we've seen all kinds of weird trades, some may change the course of an entire franchise just like the Toronto Maple Leafs/New York Islanders trade at the draft, while others seem to be a quick fix to an overwhelming lack of scoring, just like the Tampa bay Lightning/Pittsburgh Penguins deal.
- Rarely Simple….Never Easy
- In order to be a lifelong fan of the New York Islanders, one must accept that the logic behind some of the team's moves is rarely simple and that loving this team is never easy.
