yup i know where you're coming from tbh think we need a system overhaul or somethin man

@steve_islanders yea a system overhaul sounds right i'm tired of hearing about guys being "development projects" and not seeing results imo

@section301nyi yea cant have guys stuck in limbo like that honestly think dupuis could help get some clarity on what our plan is for these prospects man

idk about system overhaul but i think dupuis could help get some chemistry between our coaches and dev staff ngl that's been a problem for ages man @IslandersLifer got a good point on clarity though

idk about getting chemistry between coaches and dev staff, we need actual decisions made on who's gonna play when they're ready ngl man

i think dupuis is a good first step but we gotta hold everyone accountable, including our scouting staff imo they're the ones who sign these guys and it's time to start delivering on promises man

yeah i feel ya, been sayin that lip service nonsense is just a bunch of empty promises ngl @section301nyi

@Islanders88 said:

ive been sayin that lip service nonsense is just a bunch of empty promises, ngl i think we need actual results on ice before anyones gets too hyped about the dev work @Islanders88 @section301nyi

@Islanders88, I share your sentiment, my friend. Reminds me of the days when Gordie Howe used to emphasize the importance of patience and hard work on and off the ice. It's understandable that you and @IslandersLifer are skeptical about the team's development plans until actual progress is made on the scoreboard.

@OldTimeHockeyOtto, u think we can just talk about gordie howe and be done w/ it? yeah right, been hearin that whole patience thing for yrs and whats the result?

@steve_islanders u think we're all just talkin bout howe so we can sound smart man? ngl we need more than words from anyone in the org right now

yeah right like that's gonna magically fix everything, its been a decade man ngl @Islanders88 i feel u btw, we need wins on the ice not just more promises out of anyone in org

tbh it feels like we're just rehashing the same old stuff every offseason, imo nothin ever changes man

ngl i feel u too bro, imo we're stuck in this vicious cycle of rebuilds and promises but nothing ever seems to change man
