What can you really say about this years Islanders team. This team has had some problems with there front office personal this offseason. I feel Ted Nolan is a great coach, although I do wonder how successful he will be after comming back from a long absence behind the bench. Garth Snow as general manager? Thats a really big streach if you ask me.
Some people already question that DiPietro 15 year contract including me. I feel this kid has some great potential, but this type of move is just a sign of alot more bad things to come right there.
If Evgeni Malkin didn't pack up and leave, the Islanders would have been a very interesting to watch this year, and even a better team to back ATS wise.
I just expect a doom and gloom type season for the Islanders this year. I just don't expect anything promissing at all from them this year. I just can't express how bad the Owner Charles Wang really screwed up this team.
