New York Notables: What's next? |
New York Islander Fan Central | 7/08/2021 09:21:00 PM |

Semyon Varlamov
Friday-First Buyout Period Begins 17 – Deadline for Protection Lists for Expansion Draft 21 – Expansion Draft for Seattle Kraken 23 – Round 1 of NHL Draft 24 – Rounds 2-7 of NHL Draft 28 – Free Agent signing begins
Unless Lamoriello gets very creative, Eberle, Leddy, Bellows seem most likely players Seattle could claim, but Leddy entering final year of his contract may be a poor choice because he can go elsewhere. Sorokin is exempt, but if they wanted to chance leaving Varlamov unprotected at his age it could work in what's likely to be an oversaturated market.
26-Written previously, qualifying offers due.
Josh Ho-Sang is an unrestricted free agent.
I thought it was time to see if tags still worked. The expectation is to update during draft here.

Michael Dal Colle
Beauvillier, remains the final RFA, and likely the toughest negotiation, but Lamoriello said his one remaining RFA would be signed, could be an hour, or September.
Well deserved extra year for Dal Colle.

New York Signs Marek Zidlicky, Ho-Sang Sent Down |

Marek Zidlicky
NHL.com Reports Defenseman Marek Zidlicky agreed to a one-year contract with the New York Islanders on Friday.
Sorry folks, mixed up Colton Gillies and Trevor Gillies, who signed with SC.
All signed/traded prospects have been added to prospect blog. Colton Gillies remains an UFA.
NYIFC Comments: If the New York Islanders feel they needed Zidlicky, so be it. The last thing they want is another kid sitting like Matt Donovan. He may not be better than Visnovsky when healthy, but that was the exception, not the rule for two years in a row.
No, Pulock/Mayfield and other prospect agents are not happy.
My twitter comments on Ho-Sang says everything I have on this subject although it must be written Kirill Kabanov did this twice under Scott Gordon in his first camp, and was not sent packing either time which makes me think this is Jack Capuano's decision.
It is one I agree with completely.
Ok (not counting bouns/incentives) Grabner's five million paid Nelson 1.5/Bernier (double Grabner's goals last season) 750k, and Zidlicky 1.5, and puts 1.25 million in bank.
It may not work out on the ice but to me that is excellent management.

What Have We Learned About 2014-15 NYI? Ho-Sang Traded To Niagara |
New York Islander Fan Central | 11/14/2014 10:45:00 AM |
Josh Ho-Sang
Before addressing that question let's just be clear about one thing regarding the NHL in general.
1. Almost every year all 30 teams win 25-30 games, lose 20-30 unless you are historically good or bad, and even the 1972-73 team had a winning streak and the 9-7 win in Boston.
The New York Islanders had some horrible stretches during their Stanley Cup years when they were not winning fifteen straight games without overtime.
1a. What you do with the other 30 games decides your season, it's that simple. Our team lost 14 games entering the third period with a two goal lead last season, and still finished 17-5-2 in it's last 24 road games, but won only nine games in regulation at home (none easy) with four more in overtime/shootouts.
1b. Any team can beat any other team on a given night now more than ever. No such thing as one easy game, and if you need proof the Islanders road record back to last season with an AHL lineup is now 22-8-2.
1c. The back to back regulation loss streak that lasted from Dec 7th 2013 ended in San Jose.
2. The New York Islanders were not going to allow over three goals all 82 games, they were not going to score five goals every game.
3. Eventually unless the team was a catastrophe they were going to play some low scoring games, and have a decent stretch killing penalties.
4. Eventually the scoring was going to dry up. Those are all normal trends for all teams over a full season.
What was alarming was Halak's play from day one of preseason, and Johnson after his win in Boston. Things leveled out for both, it's supposed to.
My experience watching our team in the past is the first trend, the one with the weak goaltending, poor five on five play and poor penalty kill with the awful home record, and excellent road record.
But with the roster turnover, the age of the core players does suggest the trends could be changing.
We also now know they are capable of winning low scoring games against good teams and killing some penalties.
What is alarming would be John Tavares two even strength goals, and no qualified 1st line left wing talent in the organization to replace Vanek's production which Snow decided he had to address last season.
And I have no doubt unless this team makes the playoffs Garth Snow and Jack Capuano will not be going to the Barclay's Center. A perception change based on the lack of results will be mandated, and completely justified.
Also I can easily see a team with 95-97 points not qualifying from this conference just as it has been in the Western Conference and the New York Islanders being that team.
Ok, now we sit back for a good long while, and see what happens next.

Snow Fighting For His Future Goes All In Acquires Boychuk, Leddy/Ho-Sang ELC/Roster Cuts |

Ville Pokka
I did write it's never been a busier time.
Obviously it's win now or go home for Garth Snow who's successor will not have many draft picks. Snow traded with teams who had to trade and used the system to his advantage.
Brennan gone after signing him in July and no doubt he has every right to be very angry with his agent.
Pokka gone, with a slew of draft picks, the price for one likely rental was not cheap.
Without a doubt Snow improved his 2014-15 defense today. I know Friday was preseason but his team looked completely lost and were dominated and that included Tavares and Okposo.
New York keeps Nick Leddy because he's an RFA. Boychuk has a year to learn to love it here or moves at the trade deadline.
Anders Nilsson's rights gone.
Ho-Sang got his ELC early.
Chemistry does not happen on paper, it's going to take some time, but the idea of hoping deHaan stayed healthy with Visnovsky or were going to step back into the top four at their best is just not the history here. These injuries always linger.
Is Snow done? He has more players to move to get under the limit. Maybe he goes in for a first line left wing?
Hopefully our new players want to be part of this.

Montreal Gazette Article On Josh Ho-Sang/PK Subban Outstanding |
Folks, simply put this is the one article you read this weekend or this summer. I rarely link to many general articles here anymore.
It's also why bloggers should stop acting like they are the professional media, who will link to anyone/anything to gain followers to sell themselves.
Jack Todd came off the exact opposite of Pat Hickey's blind, unreasoning assaults on the Islanders, and some things he flat out made up which were contradicted by the media in Canada & Scott Gomez himself about coming here in a trade a few years ago.
Would I have posted today if Ho-Sang was not a New York Islander? No, however I have seen this perception article/coverage for many Russian/European players for years. Jagr got this kind of media treatment outside of Pittsburgh until he signed with Cablevision.
And any knowledgeable fan of the New York Islanders understand Casey Cizikas, and their former second rounder Corey Trivino finished up their college/junior careers with some real baggage.
Mr Todd does a fabulous job here describing the kind of players teams/NHL want.
Ho-Sang will never get any coverage in New York unless it is negative.
Jack Todd just wrote the best article of the summer by a mile.

#isles Ho-Sang gets same treatment as Subban from Hockey Canada http://t.co/NCW73XRIBS

Gossip? Innuendo? New York Islanders? Anyone have a teams entire draft to sell Aaron Portzline?Speak up for yourself, as Ho-Sang did, and the sizable Cro-Magnon segment of the hockey media (the ones who haven’t liked anything since Clarence Campbell was king) will try to crush you. Show a little flash and dash, as Subban did during his rookie season, and cretins from Mike Richards to Don Cherry are lining up to slap you down.For a public entity such as Hockey Canada to refuse to invite Ho-Sang to camp is another matter. What’s the harm in taking a look at the kid who led the Windsor Spitfires with 85 points last season in the Hockey Canada camp environment? In making your own decisions, rather than relying on gossip and innuendo?

New York Trades Picks 35/57 For Josh Ho-Sang At 28 |
New York Islander Fan Central | 6/27/2014 10:06:00 PM |
Josh Ho-Sang
Garth Snow traded picks 35/57 to Tampa Bay for the 28th overall selection where they have selected Josh Ho-Sang.
NYIFC Comments:
Kirill Kabanov revisited, it's a boom or bust for a prospect many teams said they would not touch, and not the trade up for Brock Nelson in a better pool of talent. In this draft class, it's not a bad gamble with his obvious skill to cash in pick #57. One thing for sure, he's highly outspoken given his comments.
One of the two players who's video I did watch, some nice goals, few on outside shots, many on broken plays.
Reading the articles about him, he seemed to be treated a lot like the team that drafted him, by some media, which means he will have no help at all with the worst media for any team in North America covering him.
I'm aware of Garth Snow's comments, only interested in the hockey. NBCSN loves ending draft coverage on time.
