I thought he'd go on the road trip to Florida and play 1 game before sending him back but I guess not.
I figure we'll deal Bishop by the deadline and he'll be back up for good by then.

The Islanders kept him in the league last year, playing on the fourth line (since he wasn't ready for full NHL duty), because he had a high cap hit (rookie bonuses) and a low salary (playing on the fourth line, so he wouldn't hit any bonus threshold). That's straight fucked and the kid deserves to play for a team that respects his development.
Internet rumour or not, I would shit if this happened. Come on home, Jamie!

Ovechkin is 27, Backstrom 25, Laich 29, Green 27, Carlson 23. Neuvirth is 24, Holtby 23.
I wouldn't say they're in a hurry to win a Cup but their window isn't as small as the Canucks' is.
EDIT: Schneider starts tomorrow.

The asshole of the earth.
EDIT: so when are Price's sister and Galchenyuk's sister gonna hook up?
Photoshop a toque on her and she looks exactly like her brother.

Agewise I think they're fairly safe but how much rope does GMGM have ? How many kicks at the can is he going to get ?
I like your thinking
It worked for Turris maybe we can do it again. Then again other prospects/agents are probably feeling more empowered to get themselves moved elsewhere if they feel they're not getting a fair chance.T.M. MacReady

Seriously. Snow seems very open to dealing him at this point according to Strang
You really think Snow wanted to burn a year of his entry level deal to play him on the 4th line?
He was actually getting a lot of work on the 1st line with Moulson and Tavares in camp until his groin injury forced him to miss the start of the season, not to mention they never needed his salary to reach the floor after they traded for Rolston. Nino ended up bouncing between lines (including the 4th) because he looked lost out there, and because of his injury they were well past the point of being able to send him back to juniors.
Perfect, does Eller have a sister???
I never found her very hot. Carey Price's sister>>

toro is right on the money. The Isles haven't been screwing Nino over so much as some bad luck and bad timing for injuries has made it difficult to get him settled and moving forward.
They should have sent him back to the Winterhawks, regardless of whether he'd played his nine games or not. He wasn't ready for the NHL and could have been playing top line minutes in Portland. Instead they kept him, hurting their team and hurting his development.

Hah.. He already has publicly said he doesn't ever want to play for a big hockey market. Womp womp womp.
I agree with this - they made a mistake keeping him with the team and should have sent him back the minute it was clear that he wouldn't make it back from injury in time to get in any of his 9 game tryout, but they painted themselves into a corner...
Edit: Looks like the agent is the source, and they're not moving him...

Actually. It'll be Raymond-Schroeder-Weise. Kassian's been promoted to the top line.
This was the 2nd PP unit, along with Hamhuis/Bieksa.

Technically, Schroeder's on the "3rd" line.
So it'd be
Sedin-Sedin-Kassian
Higgins-Burrows-Hansen
Raymond-Schroeder-Weise
Volpatti-Malhotra-Lapierre
But considering that it's really only the 1st and 4th line that are set, those middle two lines are pretty interchangeable and blurred until Kesler comes back. Basically, the second line is whichever one can score.
I thought Kassian to the top was just an in-game line experiment? I don't doubt we'll see it at some point during the game, but I don't think to start the game. I expect Burrows with the Sedins to start...
EDIT: those are fucked up lines, one has no centers and the other 2...

Anyone defending the Islanders re: Nino is almost as stupid as that organization.

Burrows has been terrible to start, Kassian's at least shown success with the Sedins, so it's not a surprise he got the bump. If he can keep potting him their passes, AV will probably keep him there. Not a bad idea either though, like CanucksArmy said, this lineup at least ensures every line in the top 9 has someone who's been playing hockey during the lockout.

Lighthousehockey said it well also, regarding Nino
And Arthur Staple of Newsday confirms the Isles won't be moving him:

Assuming this little passive-aggressive nugget is a shot at me...
I'm not defending their decision to keep him up last year after he got hurt, but one thing's for sure I don't think they should be bringing him up again unless they're going to give him top-6 minutes, which is what he needs (regardless of whether it's at the AHL or NHL level) in order to develop properly.
Whoever plays best in the first period will be playing with the Sedins in the second period. Rest gets shuffled like crazy. Throw everything at it, see what sticks.
Re. Nino Niederreiter...
It sucks that they fucked up last year by promoting him to the NHL when he wasn't ready, but stuff like that happens. Especially to struggling clubs like the Islanders who don't have strong rosters to begin with and are pressured to sell "the future" to fans. It happened to the Oilers last year with Anton Lander and, to a lesser extent, Magnus Pääjärvi.
It's fine that they're keeping him in the AHL this year to refine his game. It's what good clubs (e.g. Detroit) do. But I don't understand the no-invite-to-camp thing; that part seems odd.

Line shuffle till it hurts.
Everyday I'm shufflin'
Agreed on the camp thing, Snow's response to this is bizarre. According to Katie Strang the "shortened training camp was determining factor". I don't really know what that means.
Purely speculation here, but I think as far as Nino (and d-man Matt Donovan who was also not invited to camp but likely to be the 1st guy called up should an injury occur) is concerned, I'm guessing it was meant to be some sort of motivational tool... looks like it may have backfired in Nino's case?
Hasn't AV always done that whenever the Canucks are on a slump?
Slumpin'? Not slumpin'? Doesn't matter to AV. He'll shuffle those lines just to piss off the fans.
Hey bros watching Twin Peaks for the first time, this is super addicting. Just finished episode four, wish I didn't have to go to work ;(
I think Deadly Premonition spoiled some of the surprises for me though.

You are in for a treat, a series only overshined by a few.

The only part of this show I've ever seen is the final scene (I was curious to see how it ended).
Is it worth watching everything else?

A.V will shuffle lines as an answer to any challenge or question put towards him.

His agent probably saw what happened Turris and figured they can do the same.
Would Turris be where he is at now and have a 5-year $17.5M extension if he was toiling away on the 4th line in Phoenix under Dave Tippett ?
No.
yes
So what you are saying is Nino to Ottawa (e4)?
Speaking of idiots, that idiot suggests that Ottawa has interest in Luo go, does this guy even follow the sport anymore?
He has to use those Canadian teams, gotta get those hits. I'm surprised he hasn't put up a Subban / Lu swap rumor yet.
I do love Mulholland Drive.
I'm curious what the second season of Twin Peaks is. The first season is supposed to pretty self contained(from what I've heard). It's waaaaaay more episodes too. Also planning to watch Fire Walk With Me.
And if you really press him he'll split the twins.

This really has nothing to do with Ottawa (although he was high on our draft list and when he was gone we traded our draft pick for Rundblad IIRC). Turris's career and earnings went up when he got a trade out of Phoenix. If Nino's agent thinks he can benefit in the same way he'll push Snow, whether it's a trade to Ottawa or wherever.
Who says we have interest in Lu ? Besides hfboards that is, I keep reading how we're possible destination (LOL) from the geniuses on there.
That's almost as funny as the Lehner for Teuvo Teräväinen trade thread on hfb.
