#NYC #NYI #isles Palat was a no for me for weeks. They traded a 25 year old with 35 points last season for someone 34 who's ceiling now is under thirty points who makes six million for this year + next year. Plus NJ chasing NY=bad deal. Need speed/scoring.

#NYC #NYI #isles So tell me how another thirty year old who can't score makes the New York Islanders better when they have plenty of that? They should have put Cizikas with one year left in this deal at his age and kept Tsyplakov who has potential. Now Devils have a good player.

#NYC #NYI #isles Oh yes, Roy wanted Tsyplakov gone. Too good a play last night? How does 44-29-53-many others keep getting chances and provide nothing to add a bust at 34 getting six million + next season?

#NYC #NYI #isles If Darche wants a guy from Tampa no law it can't be Stamkos. This is not a cap floor franchise anymore, why do we have all these five million dollar players over thirty who can't score?
