Oops. You meant Chris Botta, not me I bet….

Please…Let’s NOT go there. LOL. One of many unforgettable horrors Isles fans suffered through. If its the Habs, I hope its for someone like Higgins or Komisarek. If its the Caps, I hope to see names like Fehr, Jurcina, maybe even Steckel for his top 10 face off win %. - CG

Chris, remember that nightmare? This isn’t going to turn into that again, is it?….SW

TSN, citing “sources,” says Guerin knows where he’s going — but that he and Isles GM Garth Snow are waiting for the party of the second part to make its final decision to close the deal.

Well, they have been dangling Smithtown’s Chris Higgins around who fits the youth movement and would be a good homecoming for him. They’re also looking to dump yet another defenseman they’ve been using on wing in Mathieu Dandenault. Must be Guy Carbonneau’s way of telling his d-men,”you’re outta here!”…..No offense Mr.Streit!

The ‘Canes are still fighting for a spot with their erratic play. Just seems like BG wants to go somewhere that’s a lock for the playoffs if not a projected Cup contender. Although the 2 of them would help their dismal PP unit.

Park is only a few months older than Streit, the guy we’re building our defense around for the next 4 years. I said he’s more valuable than what he’d bring in on a trade because 10 goals can be replaced. His work ethic, his penalty kill play, and his tenacious even strength play is what makes him so valuable to us. The guy plays no matter how bad he is hurt and it took broken ribs to keep him down. If it was possible to really breathe with busted ribs, he probably would still be playing!
