The #Isles Ship 14 - we discuss the 25-26 season. Our final thoughts.
Bad Brandon humor, optimistic Eric, Negative Mike and absent John (sadly) discuss the offense, the defense, the GM and coach...and add some grades along the way.

I understand the concerns on both Kyrou and Pettersson. To me the only way deals can happen with either guy is if you aren't giving up a top prospect in the process.

I obv understand the reservations re: EP40 but I don’t understand everyone wanting to give up a huge package for Kyrou who scored 46 pts last yr.

sounds like he made a mistake. kind of feel a little bad for the guy actually. Obviously first thought is bewilderment but then he came out later and admitted it was an oversight.

The one man that didn't have Matthew Schaefer on his All-Rookie Team? Jim Biringer.
Jim Biringer's Calder Trophy winner this year? Matthew Schaefer.
Always keep em guessing, never let them predict your next move. Big brain move by JB.

I really think the #Isles should be all over this if the plan is to keep Barzal, Horvat and Sorokin for the foreseeable future. If you want to be competitive, this is a massive step. It'll likely cost them their 1st coming up this season but I can't imagine it would be much more.

The #Isles were among the teams that inquired about Jordan Kyrou before the trade deadline.
The price was steep, and I don't believe Kyrou (full NTC) had interest in moving midseason.
This summer may be a different story.

This is fascinating.

.@jprutherford was asked in his latest mailbag where he thought Jordan Kyrou (full NTC) would be willing to go.
The interesting part isn't that he mentioned the #Isles.
It's that he only mentioned the Islanders.

I just want to see @IslesDen give some credit to the Hurricanes. This Stanley Cup final so far has been pretty damn good.

There are Islanders fans who seriously think this player isn't better or in the same tier as Horvat. Those fans would be shocked to know that this happens literally every summer. Other teams aren't stupid, they know he's a 90 point player on a garbage offensive team. #Isles

Per @RussoHockey, the @mnwild called #Isles about Mathew Barzal last summer & while they're getting calls on him, "there's no evidence to suggest they want to trade him."
Listening (as every GM should) & shopping are two completely different things.

Publicly on NST, the NYI at all strengths led the league in expected goals against last season and the Lightning let up the 7th lowest.
At even strength the #Isles were the 3rd worst/highest team in the league and Tampa was the 3rd best.
Sorokin wins Vezina if he's on Tampa Bay

Well that sucks, but it was expected. You win awards when your team is good and you don't win them when your team isn't good. #Isles

I asked Google AI what NHL teams have had the worst goal scoring wingers...although they didn't give me exact numbers...this is pretty funny

Dylan Larkin is what Isles fans think Bo Horvat is.

Teams always want to do right by the players in this situation because it'll get ugly otherwise (Jack Eichel)
#Isles should put in an offer for Larkin. I think Ritchie and our 1st overall pick this season is a good starting offer.
Jun 4
Larkin has a full NMC so the fact this got out, is trouble for DET. Do they have to move him? No but they won’t want him around heading into the season as the captain.
Id guess this does happen.

I really do hope Darche ends up with more pull than Lamoriello who brought in some decent pieces and the Devils alumni game lineup but could never use his reputation to ever land an actual game changer or even first line talent for that matter. #Isles
Lou would have signed Ehlers despite the fact that he never did anything like that during his tenure.

I think the whole idea that you have to previously wear a letter to be a captain is foolish. And I'm not even advocating for 13 to be captain but he's spent his entire career saying/doing all the right things and seemingly always gets silly disrespect. #Isles
Jun 3
I think the "C" goes to Horvat if Lee leaves and there's no real debate about it.
Barzal doesn't wear a letter, and Schaefer will wear the "C" one day, but zero point to rush that.

I wouldn't wait but I've watched almost every other NHL team with a player of his caliber not wait either. #Isles He's special, he's worth branding the team around. Why waste time on anything else? Silly.
Yeah we should definitely save the Schaefer captaincy for when we start to worry about him leaving after a couple more years of mediocrity.

Crazy to me that fans think letting Anders Lee go is the end of the world. Its time to start moving on and turning over the roster, they've accomplished NOTHING since Barry left and they've had top 10 goaltending in that time span. #Isles
