Unless of course you are looking for a circus act to bring in some cash flow wich you will blow out on stupendous contracts wich will perpetuate the cycle 1st 2nd 3rd should be a lottery amongst team 12-13-14 of each conference, This would be fair for the nplayoff race the league the fans players rookies and John Tavares Islanders do not deserve Tavares you will ruin his career

It is not a players fault if team managers are inept

Would they prefer to have the leave the "reveal" left for the draft? Wondering how the NHL feels about a team expressing its draft plans at the lottery.

Their new owners spent a lot of money on free agents and expected the team to win their division! Tampa this season was a huge failure, probably the biggest failure in the history of the franchise. It had nothing to do with the kind of losing the Islanders have undergone because of a measured rebuild. You don't rebuild from the ground up when you have players like Lecavalier and St. Louis, and sign multimillion players like Malone, Prospal, and Vrbata. Tampa under the new ownership has been an out-and-out failure on a massive scale. Qualifying for the playoffs was the least they were looking to achieve this season.

We are not in any position to cherry pick exactly what we want. We need talent. If we are #1 I think Tavares is the most talented available. Also a question for CB, where do we have to finish to get the isles to pick a real goal anthem. I mean we're not asking for the chicken dance every night, just something that isn't lame. Let 'em scream "you suck". We need anything to keep the crowd in it. The crowd almost seems quieter after a goal cause no one knows what to do. And I'm done. Thanks!
