I'm so ready for a legit Wii U animal crossing. That Animal Crossing Plaza thing with all the characters in HD was such a cruel cocktease.
You sure about that? If they're actually within reach of a playoff spot, I don't think Babcock will be down to burn the team down and lose the rest of the way.
And in any case, those assets are gone by the end of the season. Leafs either make a playoff push and keep the plugs until the offseason, or end up in 10th-16th in the East and trade them off for picks.

Sounds like just the kind of player to get the Jets back on track!
Based on what Friedman said, it sounds like they don't want to.

He'd be good in either Winnipeg or Vancouver.
This sort of makes sense, actually.
As for the Canucks, I'm not certain what they could offer the Isles. Hamhuis? They traded for his rights when he was a free agent a few years ago.
What part of personal reasons don't you not understand?
The issue with Nintendo right now is that they stopped making games and then releasing amiibo around them, it's now the total opposite, they're releasing amiibo and making (cheap) games as an excuse for them. That shitty AC board game is proof of that.
I just bought Happy Home Designer
To me that just means he doesn't want to talk about it. Could be anything.
This is exactly Cake Boss' point. It isn't hockey-related, and could be anything.

Wouldn't this kind of be a lateral trade? The Islanders would say yes, but I doubt the Jets will.
Hamonic would be great in Vancouver. They'd want a defenceman in return though. If Edler agreed to waive his NTC I'd trade him. He's 29 now at a $5M cap hit. He would be 33 and a UFA; would the Canucks re-sign him with a young core?
Calgary is loaded on D so they'll probably pass. Edmonton could give up a young forward. Winnipeg has a good prospect pool.
Hamonic would be a great addition for the Oilers, but their biggest problem is that they need *more* good young defenders, and would likely have to move someone like Klefbom to land Hamonic, which just doesn't make sense. (The Islanders have already said that they'd like to trade Hamonic for a like-player, so I doubt they'd be taken in by Edmonton's forward corps.)
Winnipeg's got a lot of good defensemen that they could send back to the Islanders. Enstrom's been mentioned in rumours. Would the Islanders be interested, though?
I still think a package built around Hamhuis makes the most sense from a Canucks perspective. His contract is up this year, but he's a guy the Islanders could rely on for 25 minutes a night in the playoffs. Moving Edler for Hamonic seems like a lateral move for the Canucks, and I don't see how it makes them a better team in the long or short term.
I see. I just wasn't sure it's not hockey related so my playoff comment was saying people tend to be happier in those times.
I know dreger said he loves the isles but what about a beef with the coach or a player? Is that really ruled out?
Every report has gone out of its way to say that it's not hockey-related at all and that he loves playing with the Islander's organization. I don't think that courtesy would be extended if it wasn't true (as we see in most cases where a player demands a trade.)

Yeah the Oilers are probably out. They're in no hurry to field a contender and can wait for their young defenders to mature.
I don't see the appeal of acquiring Hamhuis (to the Islanders). He provides a veteran presence, sure, but a playoff spot in November is very hard to predict. Yes, the Islanders could flip Hamhuis at the deadline if they're out of it. But it's still risky: what if Hamhuis gets injured and becomes untradeable? The Islanders get bounced in the first round, Hamhuis walks in the off-season, and all they have to show for Hamonic is a second-rounder from Columbus. If they want Hamhuis they could even trade for him themselves at the deadline.
The thing with Edler is that I think he's peaked. He's an offensive defenceman with first-unit power play duties yet he has never scored more than 11 goals a season. Without Tanev he's just average. He has a very reasonable cap hit and is older than the Canucks' young core, so I don't think he factors into their long-term plans. I'd love to keep him but wouldn't mind the chance to get a younger player of equal skill while giving him a change of scenery.
In a perfect world we'd give them Sbisa and Jensen but this isn't Milbury's Islanders.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
It was sarcasm.
In addition to what aidan said, the teams identified are specifically because they are closer to his family. If it was some kind of internal issues with the team or teammates, I doubt the request would be that specific.

Jesus, Is this the worst start in Crosby's career? If it gets bad.. I wonder if he would ask for a trade.. I'm not saying he would. But I could see the frustration in a couple of games I've watched. I really wonder what's up.
Congrats!
But, i know it's a bit too late for feedback or anything, but I'm not sure your formatting was very good. First of all Calibri is basically one step up from the ghetto that is Times New Roman, but even worse I think you're supposed to use a proper cover sheet and table of contents. Hopefully they don't mark you too harshly on that and focus on your content instead!

did you... did you just hack my computer to post this? I'm impressed.

It's the Pens' system. Defensively sound, offensively inept.
Highly doubt Crosby will ask for a trade. They'd fire the coach before it gets to that.

LA Kings continue to be scumbags. Brown leaves Gagne's kid hanging.
Classic Dustin Brown
I'd argue they've been pretty bad defensively too, MAF has just been a baller so far. Johnston needs to go for sure...
