Does anyone think this will be an impact when talking about drafting Hedman or Tavares... Say Tavares wants 2 million more a year than Hedman?

If this happens, there is a good chance we don't get to see either of the players, because this franchise can't afford another attendance dip. Finishing last place two years in a row would almost certainly lead to this dip. I agree we probably won't make the playoffs, but we better be much more competitive then we were this year. If we can get DiBo to become a strong second line scorer in the next 2 or 3 years and Tavares or Hedman is the star everyone is making them out to be, this team could compete for the division for years to come. 31…I can’t stand to see another last place finish.

And if they WILL miss again next year, it wouldn't be a bad thing for them to finish dead last again, win the lottery and draft Hall. Hall and Tavares would be the next Toews and Kane.

If he was eligible this year what round would he be projected to? CB…I am real curious to what the scouts are saying about Dibo now? If he was eligible this year what round would he be projected to?

All of a sudden he's a selfish, undeserving kid who can't play hockey. We always end up with the "great character" guys who are "responsible," blah, blah. Just once, please, get us the goal scorer. I'm sure our other guys will have plenty of character and responsibility to spare if it's that much of an issue with Tavares! Here, here, Dan (26).

I don't put too much stock into that, he looks like a pretty good playmaker to me. 2. Who cares if he isn't?! We need a goal scorer! Let Bailey and Neilsen make all the plays...JT is going to put the puck in the net! On a side note...We need to be patient. No matter who we draft in June, we will still probably not make the playoffs. We've all watched this team for a long time...1 player is not going to put us over the top.

Next we are going to hear that he is going to fall to the mid 1st round because he can only score (remindes me of a player called BOSSY). How is it that this kid was ranked #1 most of his life and now that the Islanders look like they will pick him he is falling? What is wrong with the hockey world?
