Free Agency Review.

Hey everyone, sorry for the length between posts. As i said before I went through some tough times but they seemed to be resolved as of now...
Onto our boys.....

I didn't feel that I had to write about what the Islanders were doing in Free Agency everyday. I knew we were going to shape up our roster. I was disappointed to see Smyth and Poti go. I was also upset that Snow was using the Coliseum as an excuse as to why we were not getting the big name players. But so far we've done a good job.

* Bill Guerin- The new captain can provide us with 30-40 goals if he stays healthy. He is also a good lockerroom guy. He fits into Ted Nolan's mold and will really help this team.

* Mike Comrie- He is only 26. He has a ton of talent. He has been tagged a underachiever. His dad is a billionaire and people think hes a spoiled brat. I think that he will do wonderful here. He has never had the chance to be a top line guy and now he has that shot. He signed a one-year pact which means the Islanders have flexibility and it also puts pressure on him to perform. I think he will feed Guerin and rack up close to 80 points.

* Ruslan Fedotenko- 'Tank' is a European who plays a hard-nosed style of hockey. He only scored 12 goals last year which is the same amount he scored in the Lightning's playoff run to the cup back in 03-04. He is known to be a clutch performer and also is signed to a one year deal like Comrie.

* Jon Sim- Right guy. EXACT WRONG TIME. Sim was the scapegoat for Isles fans during the first couple of days of free agency. He will fit in perfectly on this team. I look forward to a line that I think will compare to the lucky 7's line (Peca, Parrish, Bates) in 01-02. I see Sim on a wing centered by Nielsen with Hilbert on the other wing. That line will be a great two-way line with some scoring capabilities.

If we add one more defencemen (Markov or Souray even Tanabe) we will be a competitive team.

Thanks for Reading.
