They need to give themselves the best odds possible.

They need to trade players like Kadri, Coleman and Andersson ASAP.

We are winning way too often lately and we are trading towards not being a bottom 3 or even 5 team. These players are actively hurting our future by being on the roster, they were great players for us but we need to get value for them and trade asap.

I would rather get solid returns for the vets than get garbage and bottom out. Let a team step up and make a good offer. There needs to be some patience here.

Once Andersson, Kadri and maybe Coleman go this team will struggle to not be the worst in the league.

also, can someone remind me what place the Islanders finished when they won the lottery?

I think unfortunately, at the moment it is more interesting to talk about the future of the team rather than the present, which see us in 31st

Love to see Brock Nelson having a game against Montreal. Two goals, two assists already.

He’s not exactly the same player as Kadri, but they have some similarities—and both can provide veteran leadership and +skill as second line centres—and it’s showing Montreal first hand what they’re missing.

Montreal may be on Kadri’s no trade list but I love the trade fit for both teams.
