hey turgeonfan … in isles lore there is only one rollie the goalie…

i think roloson would be perfect bait toa team like the sharks , who have a shot at the cup and may not want to go into the playoffs with a rook as backup , just in case nabokov gets injured … and i’d take a decent kid for him …

Domi was certainly not a 20 goal scorer. He averaged around 6 goals a season. His career high in the NHL was 15 goals in 02-03, one of only 3 seasons in which he scored 10 or more goals.

#82-the most goals Domi ever scored in an NHL season was 15. A typical year for him was single digit goals.

One problem with that guys

Roloson signed here for 2 years, Biron for 1 year; Biron will be much easier to move becuase:

A) his contract is up at the end of the year
B) he is 8 years younger than Roloson and that alone would make him worth more in trade value.

Domi could score 20 or close to it… Goon or not. 20 goals is something okiposo has never seen …or baily or neilsen..etc…a domi type would be perfect as a winger for Tavares.

I think its premature to assume that if DP gets back 100% that Biron would be traded as opposed to Rolly. Remember Biron is alot younger.

We don’t need McIntyre… He can’t play hockey!! And btw, #71, with all do respect, Domi was never a first line player, so would never have played with JT… Gillies and Domi can’t be compared. One was a legit top line player the other, well, let’s just say what we need is more skill. McIntyre will not improve our offense, defensive play or overall puck pressure.

I doubt Snow would claim Steve McIntrye. He is a pure goon and would be seen as a liability on the ice according to both Snow and Gordon.

I agree, I want to keep Biron, not trade him.

I kinda hoped that Snow would keep Biron over Rolly the goalie. I’d rather have a younger back up goaltender than a 40 /yo in net any day. My theory is that this is setting up for someone from Bridgeport to come up in the future, either Nathan Lawson (who I thought looked good in the pre season) or Mikko Koskinen or even Scott Munroe.

#69 you are wrong…Sim may be playing to his potential he is older but Thompson is young and has a long way to go, so do not be crossing him off the list for a future Stanley Cup Team.

…I agree with those who would like to see some beef on JT’s line. But truthfully, the kid aint small at 19. In a year or two when he fills out he will be able to handle himself. There is a bit of a mean streak buried in there. Lets keep in mind that he is still just a kid, playing against men. He has been dinged up a bit but hasn’t missed a shift.

He is a gamer and I for one am thrilled that I have the chance to watch him turn into a superstar as a NY Islander.
