Discussing all things New York Islanders and hockey related! I wreck bad narratives. Possibly the only honest man on Isles X. #Isles #NHL #Hockey

If the price isn’t exorbitant you have to pull the trigger here. We have Horvat and Barzal as a nice one-two punch at C but we’re seriously lacking in wing talent. Kyrou is a massive upgrade from what we currently can roll out.

Holy crap! Definitely did not see that coming. Seems like a really strange decision from #ForgedInGold
John Tortorella will not return as coach of the Golden Knights, the team has announced.

That is truly bizarre. Then again it’s the CBC and they rarely get anything right. Shouldn’t be surprised honestly.
A joint statement from Sportsnet and CBC:

This is why you can’t just draft and wait, and draft and wait… This point will be lost on most #Isles fans though. Bring the stupidity.
I can't believe how many Red Wings fans don't see this. The way Larkin absolutely flourishes and wins somewhere else will be the last indictment of Stevie Y's failed tenure running this team.

Spicy take here but I can’t be mad at it. Also, he had an incredible playoffs especially the final 2 series. Congratulations Jordan Staal and Hurricanes. That didn’t taste good.
"Some guys just jump ship" Jordan Staal talking about staying in Carolina and grinding until this Stanley Cup win. Gotta be a shot at Mikko Rantanen / Jake Guentzel #SoundTheSiren

Just judging by the prospects they chose to interview they’re either sticking at 13 or trading the pick. My interpretation for what it’s worth. #Isles
Was able to confirm with the following 21 draft-eligible prospects that they met with #Isles during the 2026 #NHL Draft Combine:

Just spend the next 8 minutes running dudes at this point if you’re #ForgedInGold

I’m guessing they’ll need to retain about 2 million per year to get this done. #LetsGoOilers #NHL He’s not as bad as ppl make him out to be but his contract is awful and his d-zone awareness is his Achilles heel.
Can confirm the reporting that Nurse has asked for a trade and has submitted a list. - first reported by @FriedgeHNIC & @SportsnetSpec

We absolutely should. #Isles He has the dynamic offensive ability that were a little short on up front. 70-80 points a year. Remember kids, there is no rebuild and Deboer didn’t sign a 4 year deal to become a part of one. Just get on board already.
Not every trade deadline conversation dies at the trade deadline. #STLBlues Jordan Kyrou & #Isles is a good example. This always felt more like a summer story than a deadline one. And, well... @TheElmonters ⤵️ theelmonters.com/p/jordan-ky…

I’m not even as high on him as most ppl.
Replying to @IslesDen
In a heartbeat. Im not even as high on Kyrou as most. Guys, the NHL isn’t the NFL. It’s pick 13… not 1st overall and you have the chance to add a 70-80 point wing. How is this a question?

Just thinking about the cumulative effect of going up against this top 9 would have on our opponents. Outstanding depth and a nice combination of speed, skill and physicality. #Isles
Replying to @IslesDen
I would definitely take him. Think about this. Eklund Horvat Barzal Schenn Larkin Palmieri Heineman JGP Holmstrom That’s a REALLY solid top 9.

No. Freaking. Way. My #LetsGoOilers friends are gonna lose it. Don’t worry guys, we’re accepting new fans for the Schaefer dynasty with the #Isles 👀
Sources: The Edmtn Oilers are consulting with the NHLPA to see if there are objections that must be resolved before potentially hiring Mike Babcock. Amid allegations of invading players privacy, Babcock resigned in CBJ as Head Coach in 2023. Further investigation may be required.

It’s insane.
With essentially a one-year McDavid window, the Oilers hiring a guy who hasn't coached an NHL game in 7 years and got fired from his last job before even stepping behind the bench would legitimately be one of the most insane management decisions of all time

If Yzerman is smart he’ll play hardball and demand AT LEAST a 10 team list that Larkin is willing to go to. He signed a contract, if he really wants out of Detroit that badly he will need to be more flexible and give Yzerman and #LGRW a fair shot at getting a fair return.

Bingo! You can’t demand a trade and then tie the GMs hands behind his back by limiting his options to 3 teams, lol. He will have to expand that list unless one of those teams steps up with a fair deal which they are unlikely to do.

😂😂😂 exactly.
If I was Yzerman I’d give Larkin a list of three things he could lick: 1) My ass 2) My balls 3) My taint

Are we starting to understand yet? No. Slow learners? K. #Isles
Kind of shocked to see that the Islanders snuck into the next three teams that would make sense in this piece.
