Smith will be back. Still do not understand why Sim is still on this team.

Smith > Sim imo….

P.S. forget about Sim, why is Tambellini has 6 points in like thirty something games. this year and he had plenty of time to show something last year. He is not an NHL calibur player, Send him down for Trevor

K.O. did not deserve to go and neither did any of the isles other “young stars” the fact of the matter is that we are in the middle of a “rebuild” but the players we are building on aren’t good enough. Who here thought when we started the year with the 5th pick in the draft and a supposed “youth movement” that we would have no one in the young guns game. I didn’t I thought K.O at the very least would go. I agree with the NHL’s decision to leave him out. he has not preformed.

Sim is not Smith’s problem at all. Frans and Thompson are both coming back so it’s logical to send Trevor back to Bridge. He will get some quality minutes there and will be back soon…

Because Trevor Smith is a prospect who will get more than enough games with the Islanders after the trade deadline. Read above.

Someone please explain to me why we have Jon Sim on the roster and send down an impressive Trevor Smith. Some things I just don’t get.

I always felt, that Hodgson was the better choice than Bailey, but I’m not going to jump to conclusions that he’s better, due to his WJC performace. I feel if Bailey were there, we’d have been able to see how he matched up against his peers. So we can’t judge Hodgson by his WJC performance cause he was there and Josh was in the NHL. A grand mistake. And as far as I’m concerned, Bailey should still be in Junior. I also have no problem with Smith being sent down either. The minor leagues are used to grow players, the NHL is the finishing ground. Don’t worry you’ll all have your way and Witt and Comrie and Sim will be gone and then Smith and Hillen will be back. But no crying over Weight going with them. OK

it was the part where he said again that he didnt sign to play 5 months but a full year. when i read it it sounded like he was pissed. does this mean that trade talks are up again??

“505-Thats how Streit plays it every game and thats why he’s not a legit All Star IMO.”
LOL!!!!! Yeah in what crazy world would the top scoring defenseman in the entire NHL be considered as an All-star? What a travesty!

Very reasonable. The guy wants to play and contribute? Um, isnt he supposed to want to do that?

Its funny- if he said the opposite like he doesnt care if he gets minutes or whatever then then people would say THAT was his ticket out. No matter what he says, people will process it in their minds to mean what they want.

I personally don’t have any issues with what Weight said in Logan’s article. Basically saying; “I want to play… I want to contribute and I feel like I should still be given the opportunity because I am earning my playing time…”

He realises that he might not get as much playing time in all aspects of the game… but he doesn’t want to play 7 minutes either.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
