I dont see it. What, in 3 years Hilbert will become a 50 goal scorer?!? THATS WHY THE RIGHT WAY TO GO ABOUT A REBUILD IS ADDING GOOD YOUNG PLAYERS (CAMMALERI, GABORIK, HEATLEY, ETC )SNOW IS CLUELESS!!

Anyone who doesnt know that is kidding themselves. Even Snow is smart enough to see how badly we need scoring help and another Dman.

The organization has a plan, you may not like it, but there is obviously a plan. It has to couple the finances, facilities, and the team. Seriously, what free agent (at a reasonable price) wants to come to LI right now? Everyone here thinks they are lining up and just waiting for Garth to call. As Islanders fans, we think everyone wants to come to the team...not reality. The team's future rests w/a new building and a talented, deep team not bloated w/Rags-like contract players. There is a ton of uncertainty over the plan for sure, but playing amateur GM will only drive you nuts. Patience (despite 15 years of patience) is the only thing we have. Next year or 2011 may be the big splash 1 Jul year. Instant satisfaction…that’s all everyone wants. The organization has a plan, you may not like it, but there is obviously a plan.

Picking JT was a no brainer for Snow. Moving from 26 to 12 and picking DeHaan was a bogus move. The Islanders would have been well served adding a beefy forward with that pick. Snow stockpiled picks to burn them moving up which we all hoped for then blew it with that pick IMO. Now he is blowing it in free agancy. I didnt expect them to sign Hossa, but I mean sheesh dont we want to at least be competetive next year? Maybe start a winning culture? Its not impatience. 16 years and counting. Tavares is just a peace, and at this rate we are going to lose him. I would have went strong for at least one forward. I am losing confidence in Snow fast. Blind faith is dangerous.

What have the Sharks done? The Blues? The Bruins? The list can go on and on - and they are alot closer to a cup than the Isles. Let's be like the Canadiens and overpay a bunch of players to just be competative - and cap strung out for years. Good thinking. Be patience, overreacting can get you in trouble.

UP FRONT IF THEY CAN GET DUBINSKI. poss lines. okposo tavares weight bergie dubinski hunter comeau bailey neilson jackman park tamby i predict a huge increase of goals from KO and BERGIE, look what bergie did at the end of the year with good ice time. LIKE I SAID barring injury on the roster as is i feel we have 7 players capable of 20 goals. Streit, KO, BERGIE, JT, weight, dubinski,and hunter. sleepers comeau and neilson. LIKE I SAID WITH LIMITED INJURY, THEY MAY JUST TAKE A BIG JUMP THIS YEAR AND NEXT YEAR IF THE LIGHTHOUSE IS APPROVED WE MAY SEE GARTH THEN GO FOR THE UFA'S THAT MAKE SENSE. YEAR 3 OF REBUILDING IS ALWAYS THE CRITICAL ONE. sounds good to me, glen savior needs to be taught a lesson. do it in a sec. right now he is a top 6 forward for this team. as it stands, barring injury and a healthy DP with rolo back up, we got solid goaltending, when all D is healthy our D is fine, got the off d man in striet, 2 rugged stay at homes in witt and sutton, gervais picked his game up quite a bit jumping into the play more, marty, meyer, and 1 more i am forgetting.

I also have not problem with Garth's moves thus far in free agency. He did prepare us for this months ago so I can't see why people are getting upset that no big names have signed here. However we rally do need a full time heavyweight and I thing Garth dropped the ball on that one. This "enforcer as needed" stuff just isn't going to cut it in the East this season.
