Because the East is not that great, I'm starting to believe this team can push for a playoff spot IF Garth is willing to add a piece or two by The deadline. Hopefully a defender and winger.

I've never seen anyone overreact more to threads than you. Isn't that what this place is for? If you don't want to see new threads everyday, go to Islandermania.  -------------------- |

I'm never a fan of a poll with the word IF in it. That said I'll still need more convincing before I can vote yes. Hopefully we continue to play good hockey and make strides.
You have 2 yes answers in a yes/no question. This should be a weekly poll, and based on each weeks results we can graph the progress of the rebuild. --------------------  I believe in John Tavares, Kyle Okposo, Josh Bailey, Tim Jackman, Matt Moulson, Mark Streit and the rest of the NY Islanders |

No. I will not and here is why.
We haven't even reached Thanksgiving. Other than Doug Weight with the H1N1, have we lost any manpower to injury yet? Based on this team's recent track record, and the fact that it is a long season, we are going to lose someone and probably several someones. 2- We have to go on this nice run just to get into the playoff picture. And it is Nov 3. Will we be able to sustain this sort of play for the next 4 months? I doubt it with out defense. 3- The only "deadline" deal we make better involve getting something for very little. Frankly, I'd love to get one of the soon to be castoffs from Chicago, but they are in a bind so I wouldn't give any of our top prospects. I might give Trevino and Ness for Barker, but they won't be able to keep him anyway. If we are "rebuilding" then we don't throw away a ton of prospects on guys who are rentals for just a "playoff push". We go after someone who can be a contributor for 6 years. -------------------- I miss these
and want more of them     |

There are the ones who always thought we were a playoff team. Ones who NOW think we can be a playoff team. And the ones who still think we have no chance. I'm just trying to separate them all in the poll. -------------------- |

With the makeup of this roster, there is no way this team is a playoff team...yet. Maybe next year with some help from Snow. I just want quantitative improvement in play and the standings. I stand by my prediction we will be a bottom 5-8 team with a lottery pick. Draft more talent and sign some UFAs next year.

Actually, sybo is correct. You cannot just make a new thread every time a new thought pops into your head. This thread is fine, but you've made a few others that were extremely pointless and a waste of everyone else's time. I don't start all too many threads so I like it when other people do, but has to be done within reason. --------------------  The Future Is Now |
