Topic Merger

If he plays like he did when up in the NHL and at prospect camp I 100% agree with this. Gillies is not going to be in the lineup everynight. I like Nino but I think at least another year at juniors will serve him well. Just cause you picked in the 1st rd doesn't mean you have to play in the NHL when you barely turning 18. He's underage don't forget, its the exact opposite of JT who was overaged when drafted. |

I'd like to think you're right, but Sim with NHL experience versus Martin with almost none? This is the Islander braintrust you're banking on here, don't forget. My guess is Sim makes it out of camp and Martin doesn't. Then after 20 games of nothing Sim gets shipped down. Just my humble opinion, this organization NEVER does what they should (or what we want). Again, I hope I'm wrong but..... |

In Garth I Trust
|
You and Weby can hold me to that because I'm holding Garth and Gordo to it. If he looks good and loses a roster spot to hacks like Sim and Gillies, there are plenty of spots in the rafters to cause havoc from with an exit strategy.

My helmet is bigger than yours

Believe me guys, I would much rather Martin make the team out of camp over Gillies. But with the way they've been marketing Gillies since the beginning of the off-season, it wouldn't surprise me if he sticks. I wouldn't be absolutely shocked either if they do the same thing to Nino as they did to Bailey (throwing him to the wolves.) |

Sim is on a two way deal for a reason. Matt will be back and forth and Nino has the ability to play 9 games and still return to juniors. Gillies is a special role player. check the match-ups and you're sure to be able to plot what games he will absolutely be in the line-up. |

you beat me to it. He's special and wears a hockey helmet, all he needs is the short bus. I don't care how green Martin is, I would rather he play over Gillies anyday. From what I saw of Gillies hockey ability, he should be in the ECHL. |
