It'll be for less than half of that amount. Assuming it goes through. Most of these are held up even after both sides think it's settled.

That Aud Smell Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Clarke "Wheels of Steel, Hands of Stone" MacArthur signs with Ott'wa for 5 (more?) years AAV of $4.65M. Good for him. He's a true pro, in my book. Is he projected to play in the top-6 with the Senators? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKnowPhysics Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Oh thank god. But the hope of not playing for Wang may inflate the Islanders' confidence some. I'm thinking that's a 3-5 point boost in the standings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in German, and it appears to be an advertisement for bridal gowns. Did you click on the links? :flirt: Seems they are available in sizes from XXS to XXL. My German is not good enough to figure out exactly what they are selling. Maybe it's dresses, but then again, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This roster isn't bad enough to finish last against 4-5 teams that will be starting ice girls in goal by the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Again, Ullmark. As for the rest, you are giving DR far to much credit. He had know way of guessing the Islanders would be bad last year and push off their pick to 2015 with again a possibility of being terrible. Last year when he made that trade all indications pointed to the Islanders trending upwards. Also Kevin Devine's influence on our draft picks can simply not be understated. Also, Grigorenko developing properly would be a direct result of what Nolan/Murray do because DR was jerking Grigs chain around for months. Reinhart was solely Murray/Devine's pick. DR was fine at drafting but he was terrible at team building, hence the reason we have a new GM. Darcy was not and will never be a big picture guy. Yes , but i still would give Darcy some credit, he loaded up the 2015 draft with picks like no one else could have. And we all know the islanders are a long shot for a playoff team.

Doohickie Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Yes , but i still would give Darcy some credit, he loaded up the 2015 draft with picks like no one else could have. And we all know the islanders are a long shot for a playoff team. That was the knock on DR though - he was good at "winning" individual trades, but couldn't build a good team out of the resulting assets. I think this is working out just right. DR maxed the assets, then handed them over to GMTM to build the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
