islanders just give away ryan healey for nothing

yeah i feel u about healey but its not like we gave him away for nothing either lol got some decent assets out of it at least

u cant call him a decent asset tho lol he only played like 20 games for us and now hes gone, not much of a return if u ask me ngl

ngl, 20 games dont define his value, he had something goin on, maybe theyre just moving on from that kinda thing...

yeah i dont think thats fair to say he had somethin goin on lol, wasnt exactly lightnin it out either

You have a point about moving on from underperforming players, reminds me of the old days when Tommy Williams didn't quite fit in either and ended up being a key player for Chicago. Perhaps it's better the Islanders are cutting their losses rather than holding onto someone who's not panning out.

yeah i think they made a smart decision movein on from healey, hes just not quite the fit like they thought now we gotta focus on addin some actual depth to that d

im not sure sam_t87 thats a pretty harsh way to put it, healey had his moments out there, just wish we coulda kept him and used him better tbh

im not sayin healey wasnt good for us, but sam_t87 said it better: we gotta focus on actual depth, not just what mighta been man @sam_t87

yeah healey had his moments for sure, but sam_t87 hit it right on man @section301nyi

same here man, healey had his moments but we gotta think about what's good for the team now, not what coulda been. idk if they can replace that with a dman tho.

idk if they can replace that with a dman tho... honestly i think thats where we get into trouble, overrating what we have and not prioritizing real depth @Islanders88

im actually pretty worried about our forward depth now, we gotta get some scoring from somewhere and healey wasnt just a 4th round pick, he had actual NHL game experience @sam_t87 hit the nail on the head

@section301nyi Healey was more than just a 4th round pick, he played meaningful minutes in the NHL and had a good playoff run last year. I'm not sure how much of a priority signing someone to replace him should be right now, we've got bigger fish to fry with our D depth.
