Where was I?

Oh yeah - regarding Guerin & Schremp switching from #13 to #44 -- IF that was done in advance of bringing on Guerin or another vet who gets #13, would it be the first time that Twitter foretold such a move?

Inquiring minds want to know....

Why don't they just reinstate the entire lineup from the last two pathetic years? Veterans? How about has beens? Both Weight and Guerin would be laughed out of every other frnachise in the league. Sim, Park and Hilbert (maybe) too.

Would anyone be upset if we:

A. Didn't sign Weight, Sim, Hilbert and possibly Park?
B. Filled the roster with the best performing talent out of camp, whoever that is, including Nino, Kirill, Harmonic, DeHaan whoever.
C. Sent those that don't perform well in camp to the Bridge or on the bus out of town. Again, WHOEVER- Bruno, Sim, Weight etc. etc.
D. We go into the season with a young hungry team. We do not have a great season, but at least we take a step to building for the future.

I'd sign up for that right now.

Instead of running on ice like we have been for the past 5 years.

Geez, WTF is the plan? Revisionist history?

I think you need a Weight around to help teach the kids how to be a professional. I think what we see with the Mets right now is that there is an aura around them that chokes and loses. We don't need that here. We need someone to teach a good work ethic and how to win (ok don't laugh at that one). I'm not saying Weight is the best guy but he's all we got.

rifle, I vent about the same things but realistically, we need veterans to help lead these guys on and of the ice to
help expedite the rebuild. There is alot to be said about character. Character can be built through leadership from talented veteran players who can lead by example.
I like Weight but at this injury plagued stage of his career, he helps more with the guys OFF the ice. That's fine. Guerin is someone I never wanted to be jettisoned but our coach didn't agree with his views and I would be shocked if he was brought back.

The free agent defensemen and Wisnewski who were brought in will not collectiveley provide more eadership.
If anything they may provide confidence (should they fit in).

We are still grossly lacking in the leadership category and this is why guys like Okposo have not taken that next step.
Go back and watch many Isles games from last year. While we can get giddy at some of the moves and goals he's scored, I cannot believe many fail to see the many opportunities where he's ignored his linemates on the ice who were in a better position to score.

THAT is where veteran leadership comes in to help point things out. That and doing it themselves on the ice.

I expect another non playoff year unless "Mr. August" pulls a rabbit out of the hat this weekend.

If Bill Guerin hopes to play a 19th NHL season, he will be doing so in a uniform other than the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Pens' general manager Ray Shero informed the veteran winger that he would not be brought back to the Penguins this season.

The 39-year old Guerin had 21 goals and 24 assists in 78 games with the Penguins last season.  He added four goals and five assists in nine playoff games.  Guerin was also an integral part of the Penguins Stanley Cup Championship team in the 2008-09 season.

In 1,263 career NHL games split between the Devils, Oilers, Bruins, Stars, Sharks, Blues, Islanders and Penguins, the Worcester, Massachusetts native has 429 goals and 427 assists.

Several teams reportedly remain interested in the services of the two-time Stanley Cup champion who earned $2 million last season.

I'd vote for that....but I'd rather have an "E" where we also overpay for some talent up front.
