Guerin's deal has a no-movement clause in it.. So he would have to waive his NTC to be eventually traded. |

Reasons this is a great signing 1 - Gives credability to the franchise 2 - Tough, Can Score, Leader 3 - Trade Bait at the deadline if we aren't in the playoff race 4 - Flexability, only 2 years. WOOOO |

I would hate to see Guerin be given the C. I'd like to see Witt get it since he's a Nolan guy and will be here for years. I could see Guerin being traded at the deadline this year. He's 37 and won't be here a long time. Wouldn't it be nice to have a C long term. That said, I'm happy to have Guerin in the mix. He looked done 2 years ago but had a nice rebound season this year and I hope he'll get another 30+ this year. Good work Garth. Keep bringing in quality guys like this to fill those top 2 lines. |

Do you have a source on that? I haven't seen it anywhere yet (No movement). Not that I mind. |

he wont do it this year, but if he is still around and healthy next year, I am sure he wouldnt mind going to a contender in what could be the end of his career |

This may sound dumb... but A guy like Guerin commands respect from the referees too... maybe we'll be on the better end of some calls this year. |

Hey, I'll personally vouch for Whiplash's loyalty, dedication and presence around the coliseum. I'd listen to what he says. This is a good signing for the Islanders. One side of me thinks the pressure from us and the press forced Snow to put this together to appease the criticism. We've heard so much double talk from them and with each turn we've bashed the organization and each day they take a different direction. First it was for UFA big names, then we need patience, then we have a plan to build not with big names but the right players, and today we sign a big name UFA. Dont get me wrong, I like the signing and I like the idea it's only 2 years, 1 would've been ok in my books. He's a hard working tough North American and will be good for Hunter and some of the younger players. But do not make him the Captain. You already know he's a temp stop gap at 36 and only 2 years signed for. I want a Captain who will take pride that it's HIS team and one that he'll Captain for a while, that will be there through the entire trip back to the top of the NHL. I dont want a captain because he's our top priced players UFA signed to right the ship. Brendan Witt or Trent Hunter for Captain. |

Guerin is what I hope Hunter will become in time. Just a great signing, a nice roll model for Hunter and other emerging Isles. Very nice they got him for 2 years, there's not really any committment here, and he's got a lot of friends in the league, hopefully a gateway to bringing aboard some of his friends if the opportunity presents itself. Very nice. |
