#Isles News: The New York Islanders have acquired Bo Horvat from the Vancouver Canucks, in exchange for Anthony Beauvillier, Aatu Raty and a conditional first round selection in the 2023 NHL Draft.

NYIFANCENTRAL Comments
So they acquire a center and don't give one up when they had two with long term deals, and Horvat is a pending UFA, and this draft is loaded which is what NYI need, plus Raty was one of their best prospects, and a center. Horvat better re-sign for openers, and Lamoriello better not be done because this is an all-in move. Will miss Beauviller, but he's struggled for a long, long time. Hopefully a contract was agreed to already.
#NYI #isles So a team loaded with C signed too long just got another one who's a pending UFA, & they gave up a 1st in an excellent draft to make a run at 16th? Plus moved a top prospect in Raty, a forward under thirty? This could really go bust. Lamoriello has more to do here.

#NYI #isles They had two long term struggling contracts at center (Cizikas/Pageau) to put in the deal, and were forced to give up Raty. They needed a scoring wing, who better have agreed to terms. Will miss Beauvillier.

Top 12 protected 2023 1st Round Pick (moves to 2024 if it is Top 12).
Lamoriello comments:
"I dispute this is a trade about just this year. Our intention is to retain him (Bo Horvat)."
Canucks retain 25 percent of Horvat's salary..

#NYI #isles I like Lou Lamoriello a great deal & respect him, but the scoring issues as he says are on him, and the players he put on notice last year are still here. It's not working for the very obvious reason these players are too old, can't score, not fast enough.
— New York Islander Fan Central (@NYIFANCENTRAL) January 25, 2023
#NYI #isles And this is not about Lamoriello's age, we don't have a league anymore that makes a lot of in season trades. You can't just move 5 players with these big contracts/NTC/NMC and this org needs it's top pick given standings/draft class in 2023.

#NYI #isles This team is just totally broken. Without Sorokin Buffalo wins 6-2. Nice defense in overtime Parise, time to retire.

What change can any gm make? |
New York Islander Fan Central | 1/17/2023 07:54:00 PM |
I fully endorse Nelson, Lee, Barzal, Pelech, Pulock contract signings. Don't remember where I stood when Bailey got his contract from Snow, but it runs to the end of 23-24.
Bottom line veterans start scoring or this team will quickly fall 10 points out of the final seed, and most of these veterans are not going to score. As Wild goalie pointed out most of NY goals come from point shots. No gm is going to find anyone to take the many bad contracts signed here in Pageau, Palmieri, Cizikas, Martin, Clutterbuck, Johnston. Fasching is an AHL journeyman, not a scorer. Parise got some bounces off him or deflections, he's only going to wear down even more. Without Sorokin this season is over a long time ago, and the younger rebuilding/rebuilt teams will make a push, and I would not count out Florida's skilled core. Boston is 34-5, is finishing 8th really going to produce another upset?

Dolan/Belmont's Ownership At Las Vegas Sands land Coliseum/Site |
New York Islander Fan Central | 1/12/2023 05:30:00 PM |
It only took about six articles in Newsday to sell the Coliseum must go narrative. Blakeman likely got his marching orders which newspaper ownership will give him a second term or go shopping for another county executive.
#NYI #isles What a shock all Dolan's Belmont people were in with Sands after article #6 to get the newly renovated Nassau Coliseum demolished to eliminate the failed Belmont experiment's competition. pic.twitter.com/oscTWjhDSM

#NYI #isles Look at this nice ground lease in 2020 between Sands Robert Goldstein and James Dolan in Vegas who bought Coliseum lease today. https://t.co/j43i6JFF59

As Owners We Have Failed....Can we see some Billy Smith hatred of losing? |
New York Islander Fan Central | 1/11/2023 02:13:00 AM |
When was the last time Ledecky mentioned that 5th ring? These days he's selling concerts & laughingstock Fisherman jersey as Leiweke's tenant.
Agree with Ledecky any owner who questions his gm is a fool, especially one with Lamoriello's resume but let's get real. These owners are spending to the cap, and the team is not winning. Rumor/gossip/otherwise they told Snow he can't trade Tavares, and after Ledecky said as owners they had failed supposedly were all set to let Snow/Weight attend the World Championships before the fans spoke so loud, Malkin hired Lamoriello. Paying Trotz not to work is on Lamoriello this season, like Belmont we get a lot of happy talk, and unanswered questions.
I have not been complaining about this roster since March 2020 and ignoring teams built for covid cups tournaments who are too old/slow for 82 game seasons because I needed tying practice. It's been four bad years now, and if AHL journeyman Fasching is your answer NYI are not making playoffs.
It goes on Lamoriello who absolutely improved the defense, making it younger, faster and found a star in Dobson, but did just as poorly on offense because no one will go to the failed Belmont experiment in UFA in the middle of nowhere, and he overpaid badly for middling or declining players who can't score big goals. I fully defend Lee, Nelson, Pulock, Pelech team friendly signings. Pageau, Palmieri, Cizikas were mistakes that can sink a franchise for a generation as the above vets hit thirty plus. Snow signed Bailey.
Billy Smith hated losing, no one hates losing on this team they all cash their checks, talk about family/being tight knit, and the same overpaid vets like Palmieri, Cizikas, Pageau with the 4th line, Johnston, Parise don't do anything in a close game. Bailey is on Snow's contract. The 45 games that decide a season most nights they don't take game when it's on the line. Even worst teams win thirty games, far too much aw shucks as millionaires go home, Lambert shows no anger, and team does not win. They regressed in skills competitions since 2019-20, it had nothing to do with Frans Nielsen's departure at the end of 2015-16.
They just went out to the mild west and besides Vancouver crumbling because they are awful, played teams that mailed it in, and still dominated NY because they can't score & everyone knows it. Dallas was best of mediocre west and hardly showed up, and seemed very happy just to get to a skills competition. Lambert is talking about fast starts for his team when they went behind 1-0? Go drive Dallas back into their room with three early goals, that's a fast start.
Seven goals in five games, it's falling apart fast.
Someone better start getting very mad in that room about not winning, last season was no fluke, it was year three of a decline that puts teams on the outside of the playoffs every year for a generation. You think Chicago, Wings lost all these years on purpose, they failed to improve, same as Lamoriello's Devils have seen one playoff spot since 2012, and lost in five.
