Ethan Bear Signs w/ Isles

ngl i agree need physicality on d-core and one year deal is smart move but dunno about bear tbh what's his game like honestly

@dunno_so_much: ngl bear's got skills but what a weird contract, one year just seems like kicking tires to me

@SaltyScotty idk about that weird contract comment, one year for depth on d-core seems okay to me tbh

@section301nyi idk about okay tbh, one year deal seems too easy of an out if he doesnt pan out honestly man

tbh i agree with u about one year deal being a safety net if he doesn't work out, but ngl that's just smart business man

tbh i think isles are just trying to get value from bear without committing long term, like they did w/ parayko last year man

imho isles were burned by parayko too badly last season, no way theyre committing that kinda $$ long term tbh man

@Islanders88 yea i feel u about parayko last season man, we cant go through that again ngl

@Islanders88 yeah we dont need a repeat of parayko situation, 1 year deal with bear is a no brainer honestly man @steve_islanders ngl i think thats why bear took the one year deal too, don't want to get stuck w/ another bad contract like parayko

@Islanders88 yeah i feel u about parayko last season man, makes you wonder if bear's just a stopgap till something better comes along honestly

yeah i feel u about parayko last season man, makes you wonder if bear's just a stopgap till something better comes along honestly, i mean we cant keep rolling w/ the carousel of free agents or whatever it is

@IslandersLifer yeah i feel u man, its like we're just picking up guys that arent gonna commit long term honestly. bear's okay for now but lets not get our hopes up too high imo

yeah i agree we've been getting a lot of "okay for now" types instead of making some actual commitments imo man

Preach, finally some sanity @section301nyi 🙌💯👏

honestly @becca_w finally some people saying something about making actual commitments and not just patching holes man
