If you’d asked Blob, then yes.

But more importantly, if the leaves fall flat in the playoffs, AGAIN, Dubas and his team of merry men (Gilman) most certainly will be given their pink slips. It’s now or never for the leaves cause Tavares is getting old and slow and Matthews will be in Arizona when he is 26 years old

If he doesn’t hit a certain threshold of points or get the team into the playoffs he will likely get the boot.

I’d guess he’s going to need 92-95 points at minimum to get an extension

I agree. I think the team has to earn him a new contract this season. If they are still in the playoff race in the last month of the season and just miss the playoffs, he’ll likely get a new contract; but I could also see him getting replaced during the season if the team has a double digit losing streak, or fall completely out of the playoff race. It’s a big year for Benning.

Alas, the conversation goes awry on the "Official Laughs" thread because of an early morning fart from a fish.
A fish fart. Can they do that? I guess so. :(



Just wait, Tuna. Just wait...

Can’t see it happening. Islanders don’t have the space and they are going to be paying Barzal next summer.

It is Lamoriello.
Putting it to the Leaves would be rather petty and spiteful just because he was replaced as GM.
Yah that sounds like Lamoriello.
:D
This could be good.

Haven't you heard?

Ladd is off to Robidas Island, giving the Isles a total of over $14M in cap room this season.

Next summer Greiss $3.33M and Martin $2.5M come off the books

... and next summer they move out Boychuk $6M and maybe Clutterbuck $3.5M

... to make room for Barzal.

Lou shall have his revenge! :thumbs:

Hadn’t heard anything about Ladd. That’s surprising to me. Seems like a pretty honest guy who’d want to play as long as he possibly could.

Apparently his knees are shot, he only played 26 games last year, he's 34 in December.

Ladd is a bigger air thief than Lucic, Brouwer, Alzner and Seabrook combined
