Thomas Vanek is an Islander

[Blitty]

Welcome to Brooklyn.

 

[MrMonkey]

Blitty, are they one of your secondary teams you root for? Are they still playing in that DUMP out on island?

 

[Blitty]

Yes and Yes.

BK in 2015.

Boner and I are gonna split season tickets.

Tavares and Vanek are my homeboys.

Brooklyn seems to be becoming a force in the sports world!

Old news Blitty. Get with it will ya.

 

[Blitty]

Hey old balls,

It's not REAL news until it's posted in a thread at gaylive.

Pal.

 

[MrMonkey]

It was new news to me Blitty! Not on top of things with NHL and didn't know Vanek was on the NYI!

 

[Vegas Dave]

Stupid trade for the Islanders w/ no guarantee of him re-signing. Buffalo now gets to trade Moulson at the deadline for even more picks and prospects. Nicely done, Sabres.

Until the Nets underwhelm with 45 wins.

I agree 100%. NYI overpaid dearly for a player who will look at getting $8Million/season next year as a UFA. Will the Isles pay him that much? Vanek is a good player, but not $8Million/ good. He's no Crosby, Stamkos or Kessel.

[Matty]

Hahaha

 

[Blitty]

Yeah I'm sure Snow just gave up all those picks and moulson without expecting him to sign next year.


Vanek is here to stay.

Must have been pretty bad in Buffalo ...........................
"According to a Buffalo News report Monday, the struggling Sabres were willing to make Vanek the highest-paid player in the National Hockey League if the talented winger decided to re-sign in Buffalo. The highest-paid NHLer is Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, whose 13-year contract pays him an average of $9,538,462 annually."

NYI owner, Charles Wang is no longer the most insane owner in the NHL anymore. Pegula has him beat by a 100 miles.

Never been a kessel fan but he has come a long way since his Boston days.

Parros is better than John Scott
