Islanders needing four hours to release their signing did not help.
Long summer, and a lot of players here already, there will be tweaking/jobs to win.
#isles I wanted to keep Okposo over Ladd or with him with Tavares. It was time to get Strome or Nelson into the c spot, Nielsen not scorer.

#isles Martin great for a team, not going to score much in a league without fighting. If Quine or Chimera struggles and winds up there.

#isles NYI lost three quality people today, part of teams identity, but this is part of the business. Long summer, not finished product.

#isles Nielsen rarely scored in second half or as a center in playoffs, most of his numbers were coming on powerplay or odd switch w/Tavares

#isles Strait will help Winnipeg, he did a far better job here than many will give him credit for playing both sides.

#isles If #84 plays 13 forwards. Ladd-Tavares-Lee, Chimera-Strome-Bailey. Prince-Nelson-Grabovski-Kulemin-Cizikas-Cultterbuck-Quine.
