tbh i gotta agree w/ u, dont see why wed trade romanov now, esp after signing wolanin, that d corp is still a mess man

imo that d corp is a mess has been a problem for ages, cant expect much to change w/ wolain signing man we need someone like lundqvist back here ngl his influence on young goalies made all the diff when hes around

ngl i dont think we're bringing lundqvist back, that ship sailed when he got to minnesota imo his influence comes from being on the ice, not just being around

ngl i think u r right about that, his influence comes from bein on the ice and playin for us but thats not gonna happen now man

tbh i agree w/ @Islanders88 about lundqvist, cant see him coming back here now and honestly idk how much influence some guy has on our d corp even if he's around

ngl i think u r downplaying how much of a difference a guy like lundqvist makes on d corps, imo he's not just some "influence" he's a world class goalie that made us actually contend man @IslandersLifer

ngl i think u r forgetting that we still got sorokin and hes been lookin pretty sharp in preseason last year, cant count us out just yet man @Islanders88

sorokin's got game but hes still only one guy man, cant rely on him to carry us to the playoffs every year like lundqvist did imo

@Islanders88: honestly dont think sorokin's game is as fragile as u make it out to be, hes been lookin sharp in preseasons too man

im surprised u think sorokin's game is that solid, man @steve_islanders thinks hes got a bright future though dont know if i agree ngl

ngl i think u r right about sorokin's fragile spot in the playoffs every year, 1 guy cant carry us man @steve_islanders had my hopes up for him too but yeah lol

@IslandersLifer, not exactly an encouraging sign when your top goaltender's "fragile spot" in the playoffs is even acknowledged, let alone by fans who should know better. @steve_islanders was right to have hopes for Sorokin, but reality sets in eventually - 10 years and counting.

idk why doug's getting on people for being hopeful about sorokin tbh we all want to believe in him

tbh i think doug's just being a tough love kinda guy, don't take it personally man @steve_islanders

yeah tbh i agree with steve, no reason to get down on people for being hopeful about sorokin, its the offseason we're all just trying to stay positive man

i think u got a point about stayin positive this offseason dont wanna go into teh regular season thinkin everythin is gonna fall apart like last year

ngl sam's right, last year was brutal and i don't want to go into the season thinkin worst-case scenario either man @sam_t87

yeah but last year's woes were alot due to teh coaching staffs decisions lol McLellan needs to revamp his lines and deploy some actual strategy for once

yeah i'm with u sam dont wanna go into the season thinkin worst-case scenario, but at least we got some young guys on the rise like bunting and katchouk man @section301nyi

honestly bunting and katchouk are gonna be huge for us this season man, we're finally seeing some depth with our prospects @sam_t87 i think u hit the nail on the head about mclellan tho, need someone to shake things up in the coaching staff imo

bunting and katchouk are gonna be good but we still need to fix our d man, romanov trade rumors or not

tbh our d still needs a ton of work regardless of romanov's fate man, we cant just rely on greig getting better to save us ngl he needs to step up but so does everyone else on that blueline @sam_t87
