Max20Characters 14 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Makes me wonder if Fitz and Ruff were unhappy after that leadership meeting. Just went and got rid of em Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SterioDesign 3,411 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Well a first and a 4th for 19 games of Zajac and Palms is not that bad if you think of it that way. Plus they both could just re-sign with us in the summer if we really miss them. Zajac may just see this as his chance to make a run. That being said i hope they don't do well in the playoffs cause i want a good first rounder out of it lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just went and got rid of em Two veterans on expiring contracts, and we have plenty of young talent in the pipeline. This is exactly how the deadline is supposed to go for us. Obviously efforts to extend Palmieri failed. Maybe Travis wasn’t offered the opportunity to return, maybe he was and he passed. Like I said, neither guy was worth a 1st, so I guess trading both got us a better return? Ish? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mfitz804 12,443 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 As much as anything can, this fees like the end of an era. Which might be what we need, in retrospect. Just now, EdgeControl said: Exactly, both were gone. Yup, so get the best you can for giving up 19 games of those guys. It’s a no-brainer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rob_Ottawa 101 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Yes this kind of sucks. We have traded Zajak Palms and Coleman in consecutive years, veteran heart and soul leaders. Then again, we set new levels of futility every year so why the fuq not trade them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jerrydevil 236 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I hope the Islanders win the whole thing .... and we hit a home run with the 31st pick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mfitz804 12,443 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I’m in the minority I’m sure, but once guys leave, I don’t give a sh!t if they win. Thanks for your service, now you’re either the enemy or I don’t care about your success. It’s now best for the Isles to have a precipitous fall so we get the best possible pick, so I will root for that. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I certainly don’t get too excited about players doing well other places, but it was nice to see a guy like Coleman win the Cup. If they’re in the finals anyway might as well root for them.

I know John Carlson was late first round, but that's in the late 2000s. It's definitely a longshot to get an impact player there. But it does happen once in a while.

mfitz804 12,443 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Worst part of this is probably Zacha continuing to play center instead of wing, where I like him better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ruff had already broke that line up anyway though. Hughes was centering Kuokkanen and Sharongovich last night. Zajac was with Johnsson and Merkley.

Rooting for the Isles when the placement of the pick we just traded for hangs in the balance, that I shall not do. Edited April 8 by mfitz804 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
