I agree Ozzie. Bailey didn't look comfortable.

While true, it still leaves us with a pretty poor defense.

If they haven't already, nobody's pickin' him up. welcome to the Bridge, Witter.

Kinda sad, really, he was a good pro and nobody wants it to end up this way.

Oh well, maybe there is a miracle in the next hour for him. I hope so, for his sake.

On the bus with Biron to Bridgeport.

If they bring him back up, it's 1/2 the salary, so $1.5 mil

I was hoping he'd be picked up. Hate that he has to play in the minors.

No, if he gets claimed on re-entry, only then are we responsible for paying half his salary.

Do we know if he'll report? He didn't seem to happy as per strang's article. Maybe pushes for a buyout? Honestly, we should do that

Witts a pro. He's be patient and wait it out. He's probably happy to be getting out of here. He'll be traded or picked up on re-entry soon enough soon.

Boynton is on re-entry waivers (per Bob McKenzie)

any nhl team that claims him only pays 50% of his salary
and that would be the remaining percentage of 750K which is half.

since we're 2 thirds of the way done with season, figure 250k.

I still say no thanks.

At this stage, does it really matter? See you at the draft party in June. :thumbsup:

:yea: After a brief dose of euphoria and happiness, I'm returning to the gloom and doom and hoping the trend with wins and losses reverses.

Officially no longer an Islander.

Posting (7/28/10 - 12:55 p.m.) - The New York Islanders have placed defenseman Brendan Witt on unconditional waivers.



good riddance is what i say but the way he was handled sucks because it's the same as Guerin.
Disagreement with the neophyte coach. Hasta-lavista.
