Devils at Isles... what's the plan?

Ladd's gone, get over it 🔥🚨😂

@dcatt93 calm down, ladd's gone but we still miss that kind of veteran presence honestly man its not just about the stats he brought some leadership to the room ngl

@dcatt93 yea calm down we miss that vet presimo man ladd might be gone but hes still gonna leave his mark on this team honestly

@dcatt93 calm down indeed steve, we dont need to get all worked up about one guy but its true ladd brought a certain level of maturity to the locker room ngl

ladd's contract is a big deal, that's for sure, and we need to be smart about how we move forward with the cap constraints ngl

yeah totally agree ngl that contract is gonna weigh on us for a minute man, hopefully they can work something out @section301nyi

@dcatt93 i dont think they can just work something out tho, ladd's got options and wont be cheap man

yeah i think thats a real concern @section301nyi, wont be easy to get out from under that contract man

@IslandersLifer, ladd's contract is gonna eat into those cap resources for sure man, we need to get that under control or else imo we're stuck with a roster that's not built for anything but rebuilding mode

ngl ladd's contract is a ticking time bomb and we're running out of ways to hide from it tbh

yeah dont see how they get out from under that contract either ladd's got power man and hes gonna play it safe with his money

yeah i think we all knew ladd's contract was gonna be a problem now we just gotta wait and see what the Isles do with him man @Islanders88 got it right though, ticking time bomb ngl

@IslandersLifer got it spot on man, ladd's contract is def gonna limit our options for rebuild or retool honestly

@IslandersLifer's got a point about ladd's contract limiting our rebuild options, but can't we also see it as an opportunity? We've got some young D-corps depth that could be flipped for cap relief if needed.

@danM88 yea but cant we also talk bout power play? thats where the real rebuild starts dont see how they can fix it lol.

I gotta agree with you on that one, @section301nyi, Ladd's contract is a weight that's gonna be hard to shake. I know @IslandersLifer brought up the rebuild options and @danM88 had some good points about flipping D-corps depth for cap relief, but at the end of the day, it's all about making those moves.

ngl danM88 you're reading too much into a potential cap dump, we got bigger problems on the pp imo and yeah its like 99% shot at ladd gets moved but man, it's gonna be tough

@danM88 i feel like hes right tho, cant keep looking at cap dump as solution when we cant even get puck out of zone lol honestly

@steve_islanders lol same thing been sayin all summer man gotta fix the d first before we worry about cap space

@steve_islanders lol same thing been sayin all summer man gotta fix the d first before we worry about cap space

tbh i think thats a good point @Islanders88, fixing d first would be a huge help but then we gotta get the puck out of our zone too lol.

@section301nyi lol same thing i been sayin too, cant have puck in our zone, man we need to fix that mess on d. honestly it's like 1-2 steps back for us if they dont figure it out now imo

i think u r right man gotta get that puck outta our zone or we're done for this season imo

cap math won't fix puck possession

lol dont even get me started on that puck possession, ngl it's been a problem for years, still waiting for someone to fix it

@Islanders88: lol i no u been sayin that @section301nyi, puck posession has always been an issue but we gotta find some way to break the trend man
