I’m very interested in understanding how the Islanders need to go about incorporating some NCAA players at their season end. Is it more complicated than signing them to a ELC. Are there any rules or roster spots that need to be opened a certain way? I don’t think so but would like to know for sure. I think from a forward perspective they are looking to add Danny Nelson and a Cole Eiserman the minute theirNCAA seasons end. Let’s be honest there are many candidates that could be waved and sent to Bridgeport. These guys would be a lot like adding Lafontiane and Flatey, not comparing them but they have potential.
3 On 3 is fun in the NHL regular season, it should be extended slightly to avoid shootouts. However to have 3 on 3 in OT in these Olympic Games are terrible! There should be at least that one extra normal period.
We need outstanding goaltending the last 24 Games. We need to go 15-5-4. Sorokin needs to win that Vezina. All these teams in the East are capable of making the playoffs outside of our two local rivals. We need to have an outstanding stretch the first seven games coming out of the break. I look at that Montreal and Blue Jackets Games as the key to the second half. Patrick knows he needs to build momentum heading into the game at home against the defending champs with Tuchuck and then a West Coast Swing. Those first two are huge must wins ! I think Darche will look around the bargain bin and possibly trade some of his extras. However I don’t think he touches the prospect pool. Trading Eiserman would be a huge mistake ! If he is the PP guy the home grown sniper, you can live with less than stellar defense while he matures. He has a shit ton of swagger and confidence that will energize UBS, and his no timers and nose for goals is exactly what this team needs! If we falter and fail to make the playoffs so be it move to the Draft, next year more young guys will make the team. It’s most likely a 50/50 proposition at this point.
