And all of the other hard bitten die hard Toronto based Leaf fans. It was a beautiful sign to see my team finally convince not only a quality local player to come home, but a SUPERSTAR local player to come home. Just three years ago and for the past decade none of this would have been possible. The Maple Leafs are officially no longer the Maple Laughs and have FINALLY turned the corner into a quality franchise again. No more half measures and cut and paste rebuilds. Shanahan played in Detroit and learned the most important rule by one of the best GM's Ken Holland...surround yourself with as much talent as you can. Can't wait for October!!!

djb738 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Islanders are going hard after Karlsson right now. Not a bad consolation prize for losing Tavares if they can land him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill0755 Posted July 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 Lehner and Greiss as your goalies assures the Islanders will definitely be a lottery team next season. Probably the worst goalie duo in he League I would have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluecharm Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 4 * 4.55 for De Haan. Solid D-Man but that seems like a lot of money for a player like him. Canes like him a lot I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluecharm Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Yes pretty much although they seem intent on trading their captain, Justin Faulk. Or do the story goes. They also have Jake Bean who might get a look this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bean probably spends the season in the AHL. Canes D will be Slavin/Hamilton/Pesce/De Haan/Van Reimsdyk/Fleury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill0755 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) So Lou signed two forwards ( Komarov, Kuhnackle ) and traded for Martin. These primarily 4th line players scored a whopping 12 goals combined last year. Sign Lehner to replace Halak. I think Lou is going back to the Broad Street days with Komarov and Martin. Kuhn is at best a 12-13 forward who is not that good at P.K. where he was used extensively last year. So far would have to grade Lou an F+ on his offseason. Boy, it’s shaping up to be a real tough year for Islander fans Edited July 4, 2018 by bill0755 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byz Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Serious question about Lehner - what's wrong with him? .908 sv% on a really bad Buffalo team, .920 the year before.. why is he so cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I was kind of thinking that Lehner just might be a bounce back candidate myself. But with the Isles that will be tough to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bill0755 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 One can only hope that Trotz can work some magic with this back line and goalie tandem next season. Not much left as far as defenseman in free agency, so barring any significant trades ( read that Karlsson has NO interest in the Islanders..ouch ), looks a little challenging to be an Islander goalie bombarded with shot after shot...

weeoiler Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 I saw that. Pretty low risk at 625K. If he does well, Dubas is a genius. If not, oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
