Dont forget waivers, Strummer- the Isles have gotten quality guys off waivers before like Cairns and Osgood, so its not without precedent and is another way the Isles might improve the team- especially in times when teams may have to waive players they really like because of cap issues.

Where on Earth are you guys finding the info on CB’s meetings?

I’d prefer no Tanquay. Really there are no FA’s worth having at this point. If Snow’s going to improve the team it will be via trade now.

if this is where it ends, CB will forever be recognized as our bridge between extinction and resurgence for this team.
a pretty lofty place in islander lore.

I don’t know where else to talk about this without there being a PB article! But I just read that the Lightning may be close to signing a deal with Tanguay – I really thought with him still available that the islanders might make a move for him

Hey read the THN article. I believe our goaltending depth is probably the best in franchise history.
I’ll agree there is not enough toughness anywhere on the roster.
I’ll disagree the bashing of the forwards corps. There is talent there but it is young and growing. That’s fine it’s a rebuild and the plan must be stuck to.
The defense and the lack of toughness (some what the same issue) are the two that could and should be addressed because other wise the team just is not ready to start the season.

Hey, guys remember the great ol’ days when we used to get 4 or 5 updates a day on the best website on the planet? Why would anyone get rid of that?

From the better late then never department …

Good job CB!!

I have been without internet & cable for the last 2+ days. Those boneheads at Inablevision misdiagnosed a problem at the tap (after I told the help desk it probably was at the tap). So this is the first opportunity since Tuesday that I’ve had to get caught up with Tuesday’s rally and hearings.

I think I’m going to write another email to ToH more Enviromentally centric.
