Good comments Jim from St James. I get the feeling that there are several people that post here that would like a quick fix or in other words…spend big bucks and turn this team around. I like that the Isles are building through the draft, rather than throw around ridiculous money to players that don’t deserve it. If you can believe it, TSN was talking about how Chicago would like to unload Campbell and his millions as he is not what they were expecting!?

Obviously CB’s fingers are all worn out from the last week, so I will try to answer some of the questions here…
Sim is being sent down, so in a week the isles will call him up again, if, at that point a team wants him, they can claim him @ half of his remaining salary ( all of 200K?)cheap enough to warm a bench through the playoffs.
And Everyone needs to remember that in order to make a trade, someone has to want to make a trade WITH YOU. Information travels, and the other 29 GM’s in the league all knew about Billy’s situation, so why would they freely give up a good pick when they know Garth had very few options?? Would you pay 20 bucks for a burger when you know everybody else is paying only 5??
Give Snow a break, yeah he hasn’t turned the ship around overnight, but He hasn’t done anything to sink it either. At least, fopr the first time in years, there is a plan…

106 i never said said have jackman fight orr.

I said no point in having fritz there for his 2mins icetime only to lose to Orr.

i guess you werent at the last isles rangers game. Jackman was running over everyone. Orr did nothing except take a dumb penalty trying to get jackman to fight. Works for me.

A want to win again rangers. We have 19 other games to make sure we can finish in 30th.

if you want the easy loss, very true play mcdonald. Only Jaffe and Rose thing McDonald is good.

Let’s play Fritz 20 minutes tonight and the worse goaltender we can find.

Also, I see that nobody wants Kolzig, he would be a good insurance policy for next year if healthy.

Thompson is worthless. Just a Gordon boy, that is the only reason he is in this line up. Everything Gordon sucks including Thompson. Wonder who our coach will play in net. Hate to lose to the Rags but would hate to lose first overall more! Hope Gordon keeps his winning “attitude” and plays Jmac. On a brighter note Danis looks great and seems to have the tools to be at the very least a dependable backup.

Garth Snow blew this Gueren deal.
