CMONPETEYD Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) York to Flyers Robitaille and a 5th to Isles scratching my head http://www.tsn.ca/ Edited December 20, 2006 by tsdevils82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 What the hell is going on??? Are the Isles purposely dismantling their team for fear of the playoffs? York is a good player, Robitallie? A PP specialist at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'7' Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) York was a good player, but he's been invisible offensively for a long time. His career hasn't progressed as it should. Robitaille is probably the better all around player at this point in his career. Edited December 20, 2006 by '7' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 (edited) Garth Snow was a Flyer for how long? The Islanders are cutting salary once again. Hey 7 - you going to sell this one on Randy Robitaille's potential? LOL - okay you already did. Randy Robitaille is a power play specialist who is lucky to get work in the NHL.

'7' Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 You're crazy, the Isles are in first place and cutting salary like it's 1998? More evidence of the new NHL I guess. Where this stuff isn't supposed to happen...but still does! York hasn't done anything this year though. He has been completely invisible all season.

Where this stuff isn't supposed to happen...but still does! York hasn't done anything this year though. He has been completely invisible all season. It's the Islanders own fault they have to cut salary - they signed their goaltender to a 15 year deal, hired his backup as the GM, and have generally been run horribly. They also signed a boatload of overpriced free agents in the off-season. I'm sure they are falling short of their attendance projections. York should be traded, and maybe Robitaille is the best they can get for him. Since York will be UFA at the end of the year, it doesn't seem to make sense for the Flyers, who are well out of it - unless they intend to flip him to a good team at the end of the year, which seems more likely.

overtime98 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Maybe the Isles and Flyers are "behind the scenes" trying to find ways to beat us, work together to get rid of those pesky Devils!..... LOL..........I know that barely makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueNJ97 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Didn't the Isles try to get York's salary reduced during arbitration...and didn't they lose? I'm surprised he wasn't traded before this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilish34 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 "It is always a little bit of a shock when you first get traded," said York. "I'm going to a new team and getting a new start, so I am excited about that. Hopefully, I can help turn the Flyers around in a positive way.

elias2600 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I wonder if Philly and the isles traded all of their players from one team to another, would that change their teams performances this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I was gonna say, i wonder if the Devils could get anything off the Islanders, Then i looked at thier roster and laughed. Nothing of interest there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elias2600 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 maybe jason blake, but dont have a spot for him in truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 We dont need a player like blake. Mabey we could unload some players on them, they might take them, reduce the roster in lowell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Garth Snow was a Flyer for how long?The Islanders are cutting salary once again. Hey 7 - you going to sell this one on Randy Robitaille's potential? LOL - okay you already did. Randy Robitaille is a power play specialist who is lucky to get work in the NHL. Actually, he's a little better than that Tri. I like this deal for the Isles. Snow has once again cut salary. He's probably making room to re-sign Blake. And when you look at the Isles roster, they didn't really lose much here. York underachieved there. It's ashame he's now in hockey Siberia though. York should be traded, and maybe Robitaille is the best they can get for him. Since York will be UFA at the end of the year, it doesn't seem to make sense for the Flyers, who are well out of it - unless they intend to flip him to a good team at the end of the year, which seems more likely. Exactly. York wasn't going to be re-signed. So they did what they could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
