i just find this funny

yeah that teams management is something else, well the whole organization is I guess. The miss use of prospect Nino Niederreiter is ridiculous, 4th line duties for a 5th overall pick. I watched this kid play he is going to be good, if given the chance. The Islanders have a history of making bad calls on prospects, like trade Chara he isn't going to be any good anyway, clearly they were not taking a close look at what they had.

Maybe it's just Millbury, he has a history of bad decisions.

Traded Olli Jokinen & Roberto Luongo for Mark Parrish and Oleg Kvasha

Signed Alexei Yashin to 10 Year, $90M Contract

Traded Zdeno Chara, Bill Muckalt, & 1st Round Selection (Jason Spezza) for Alexei Yashi

Traded Bryan McCabe, Todd Bertuzzi, & 3rd Round Selection (Jarko Ruutu) for Trevor Linden

at the time these moves weren't bad. A Gm can't see into the future lol.

I remember back when they signed Yashin to that deal, the jokes were flying around

Ya that Yashin deal was terrible at the time but the other ones just look bad in hind sight
