More or less off the top of my head, but I thought Strome and Tavares looked reeeaaalll good together late in the season. Strome might not start on the top line, but I really think he ends there, or at the very least gets put with Tavares late in the game when they really need that goal.
Curious what the Isle insiders think about their PP setup this season. If Zidlicky signs is he on the #1 unit? I know they have Boychuks booming shot and Leddy/Hamonic will see time. But I'm thinking Z is just more creative then these guys, more of a QB.
Is this your thinking too?

If they sign zid..then what becomes of boychuk on the PP? I ask because right now I have him as a drop but I could do kuemper to keep JonnyB.

I still think isles will roll out JB for his ''big slapper'' as a feature v.s certain teams that isles could exploit .
during those games you can interpret whether or not its a #1pp unit or not for yourself
your blueline looks as though it could take the loss of unprotecting JB though

So. It seems to me that one of the big offseason shifts in the league is that Okposo is going to get paid as a UFA, and I would suspect that it won't be Garth Snow paying him. If he leaves Long Island, that opens up the RW spot with JT. Who fills it? Is it Lee? Nelson? UFA?
Speculate away! Anybody who knows the Isles or otherwise, views are welcome!
After what's happened since reuniting Tavares with Okposo, islanders would be best served finding a way to keep okposo. While having a great player helps, having another very good complementary player can mean wonders for consistent goal scoring. Strome, lee, etc didn't cut it as the #2 option on the Tavares line.
Hamonic situation is a tough one. Edmonton would have the most pieces to move theoretically.
I agree on the Okposo re-signing..
Unless the Jets sign and trade Trouba or agree to trade Myers, then they won't be getting Hamonic.. So I also think Edmonton will be able to offer up the best package..
But what I don't understand is, how much closer is Edmonton to Winnipeg then New York is by plane of course?? Isn't the whole point for Hamonic to be closer to Winnipeg??
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Let's see if they find a way to keep him. Chemistry doesn't grow on trees, even with stars. Sometimes you gotta overpay just to keep your core intact to keep your window open.
I think hamonic wants to get back to western Canada to be closer to winnipeg. The geography point is valid though, Vancouver isn't that much closer than New York but at least Vancouver would visit Winnipeg a couple times per year. Either Alberta team is a bit close, but not by that much.
With that being said, Minnesota, the state to the immediate south of Manitoba, would actually be the closest and they're in the same division as Winnipeg meaning more visits. Some of the other central division teams are similarly as close as the Alberta teams.
I am currently carrying Strome, Lee, & Bailey on a dynasty roster where I have Tavares, and having NHL teammates playing on the same line on my fantasy team is helpful with scoring. I know that is an odd rule, but the league is 20+ years old. Only points matter, goals & assists count separately, but not in a normal sort of way.
I am at the point where next season I will no longer have the desire to tie up 3 roster spots on Islander forwards who may not perform well enough to make my lineup, and this year's draft is deep enough between a few interesting free agents and unrostered propsects, that I would like to free up at least one spot of those 3, perhaps 2.
What do you Islander fans see as realistic goal & assist (or just point) totals for the 3 guys moving forward over the next couple years?
