yeah vanek's playoff experience will definitely help them out till bailey gets back, maybe they can sneak up on someone in the playoffs this year @section301nyi ngl if soroko-nachboldin doesn't take off i'm gonna lose it man

@section301nyi honestly dont see how soroko-nachboldin "takes off" if bailey's already injured, man

You're right, Bailey's already on the shelf and Soroko-Nachboldin is gonna have his work cut out for him trying to make an impact with a team that didn't even get past round one last year.

i'm pretty sure they're hoping soroko-nachboldin can give them some speed and youth, vanek's still a vet and wont change the fact they need to get bailey back healthy ASAP @Islanders88

@Islanders88 yeah i know whats been holdin me up, but vanek at least gives em another scoring option while bailey's out man.

yeah vanek's a decent scoring option for now but man we're still gonna need him to be healthy soon or else this team is gonna struggle ngl

@section301nyi yeah i get that but vanek's a stopgap at best imo, we need bailey to be healthy for real depth scoring

tbh i'm just worried we're still relying too much on bailey's return, what if he doesn't get healthy for another 2 weeks or something like that?

@Islanders88 yeah that's what im worried about too, we cant just bank on bailey gettin better when theres no ETA honestly

vanek's a solid pick up for now but man we can't just assume bailey'll be back soon ngl @Islanders88 @steve_islanders i'm worried about our top line depth too honestly

@section301nyi i know we're all worried about bailey but honestly raymond's been doing well, can't just count on him yet or anything man

@Islanders88 yeah Raymond's decent for now
