Islanders could benefit so much from having Thomas.

Nabokov looked weak for them at times last season and playoffs

Varlamov is in the same tier as Reimer.

Which is above Markstrom

if it makes you happier to post about florida players without any context, sure, go ahead

You stated that Varlamov was better than Reimer, I said Reimer was better than Markstrom. How is that any different?

i said in the tier of, reimer is always talked about so i thought of him when i thought of lucklustre starters

reimer is probably better than markstörm right now, however, whats up down the road is different

markström shouldn't even be a starter but injuries pushed him into it

Thomas should be an oiler yo it would make sense

It's feasible tbh.

Thomas starts with Dubnyk as a backup

Would need to move/trade some players, but there's plenty to do that with since surplus of dmen
Cap Space: $1,348,333
+ Labarbera: $1,000,000
+ 3 Defensemen
+ 1 Forward

as long as that ^ is more than 5 million (amount Thomas will probably ask for)

I will be amazed if he gets 5m. He's sat around for a year tweeting tea party crap instead of staying conditioned and his reputation is shot to the point that he's not going to contribute much to merchandise or marketing. There's really no knowing how much he'll really contribute. It'd be a terrible business decision...


So probably off to toronto

Vezina + Conn Smythe + Stanley Cup in 1 year

His rep is fine. His rep is that he's a good goalie
