I don't waste time writing for entertainment. And I do feel NYI (especially Bridgeport) are on borrowed time. This league's BOG got together, and took away the ASG, with no sign of giving it back. We kept a coach who deserved a pink slip to avoid paying another one, and the signings were all one year. That's short-term. It feels Lou kept Pellegrini/Chris around for AHL transition, maybe an NHL transition.
Sure they got D with tons of term, and yes Romanov got eight years. Was he going to turn down that term even if only the next two years are here?
Fire away, and bank on Tsyplakov getting two years at best and likely one.
You can bet BOG are sick of an announced Belmont sellout for the opener, and then empty seats until the holiday's. That cap is going up big, new CBA done, now NHL has to pay for it's increases with filled buildings. And they are sick of praising Nassau-Suffolk for staying home. I hope Joe Tsai or even Cohen would purchase team, move them to Barc.
#NYC #NYI #isles Oh yes, those ten dollar seats for parking are like those one year contracts to players, try to make some money before they move on. And a full admission Belmont was never built for NHL and a two mile walk via LIRR to arena/retail. Has anyone gone there at all?
