There are lots of UFA goalies available. Is this years version and maybe future years of Bobrovsky that promising to deserve such $$$$ and term.? Teams just can't but players on LTIR for cap purposes.

Ladd has been on injured reserve since early Nov with no signs of returning any time soon. Before that he was on IR to start the season.

For Isles fans, it would be great if he LTIR was permanment (I certainly don't have any ill will for Mr Ladd). Wondering if his his LTIR is "so permanent". I know the Leafs were "shaking" and hoping that Lupul's LTIR, very long term was permanent for cap reasons. But it isn't up to the team and player but League doctors.

If we could sign all of these guys, this would be a team which finally could win a round or two in the playoffs.

I think you're right on value for the two UFA's.

Islanders don’t have enough depth to go far In the playoffs.

I think the team shown does. (Hickey is the #2 LD.). Plus the off-season will offer some depth possibilities, particularly on defense.

This team isn't much different skill wise as Vegas was last season.

Both Bobrovsky and Panarin will get at minimal 7 x 10.5 you're way under both. Bob isn't signing for only 5 years let's get real here.

I could be wrong.... but it's not out of the question. I don't see Bob getting the term *and* $$$$ Price did, and 9.5m for Panarin is on par with top level wingers like Ovy and Kane so it can't be that far off.

100% correct. Although the 9.5 for the top singers will soon change to 12.35 and more as more superstars like Laine loose the ELC
