They might not make the playoffs at this rate. Just zero offense and bad defense is a recipe for disaster. It's thoroughly confusing.

I honestly don't get it.

Whilst last year might have been a bit of a mirage with the reliance on special teams in places - the drop off this year is astronomical.

They have a relatively tough stretch over the next few games too.

Is it too early to start thinking about the draft lottery?

Probably a little early...but given how they've looked recently probably not unreasonable.  There's just no sign of hope.  last year was so much damn fun watching them win just about every day to go from that to this with more or less the same roster is mind boggling.  Right now there just aren't a lot of teams they can beat and I don't know if there's even anything that can be done about it.

Kakko traded to Seattle for defenseman Will Borgen and two picks.

Now you guys sound like my fellow Islanders fans!

xxxx Drury.  Captain Little League Mother Fucker

Apparently there was players only meeting to fire Drury

Drury has honestly been terrible since he started with that awful Buchnevich trade.

Wow.

One of the hockey personalities mentioned this on twitter.  Then added he cant remember a time when a player revolt against the GM caused him to get fired. 

Mika won't accept a trade?  No problem, trade Kreider.  Trade Lindgren.

Biggest hurdle to trading Mika isn't the NMC. It's a question of who in their right mind would take that contract right now? We're likely stuck with it for another couple of years at least. The Trocheck contract likely won't age well either for that matter. The Rangers are just completely trapped for the next few years.

And again....they were the best team in hockey for the majority of last season.  Does anybody have any idea exactly what the hell happened?

[TDToomer]

Players can't fire a GM. They players only meeting should be to play better. 

At least your GM isn't 82 years old handing out 7 year contracts to mediocre players only to waive them less than 2 years later.

Trocheck has a modified NTC starting next season.  If Drury asks for a list and Trocheck tries to get too cute, he has shown he is not afraid to just put him on waivers.  Kreider has a mod NTC, too.
