I stopped in at home for lunch (it's just after 130 pm sunday afternoon here) and I see that TWO g.m.s are willing to accept my counteroffers and a third wants to accept but wants to see if can trade away salary elsewhere to get under the cap and I received another counteroffer that looks good. So I have basically four negotiations near the end, one g.m. will soon be called into a meeting for a clinching handshake. I'd like to take this moment on behalf of the Islanders board to thank all g.m.s for a very lively and intense negotiation process.


One you've decided would you mind posting or something, I'm curious

Shall do.


As soon as I finish eating lunch (drops lettuce on keyboard, needs to get up and stop the whistling tea kettle)

look at who's here on the boards at the moment and try to guess the three g.m.s with the best negotiated possible deals for Niedermayer.


Decision to come BEFORE the top of the hour, I promise! (not easy, noooot easy, but will get done)

The Islanders decide to go with what turned out to be the first accepted offer anyways, a deal which brings one of the hometown boys back home, a true Islander in every sense, who was the 7th round selection of the organization before being traded away early in the season for Witt, a player who is expected to have a great season next year (14 goals, 24 pts in 23 nhl games) Jason Blake. Also in the deal is young Huselius (7 g, 11 pts this nhl season) who is starting to show his offensive talents and also in the deal is one of this g.m.'s favorite stay-at-home defensemen Rivet who makes a smart first pass (and has 37 blocked shots, 25 hits, 22 min. per in the nhl this season). Sacrificed with Niedermayer is Boguniecki and Daigle, all three of whom go to a divisional rival, the New Jersey Devils.


Another negotiation would have brought much needed goaltending but there was some risk that the player wouldn't play well next year and that risk made some on the board nervous even though the upside is worth the risk.


Again the organization would like to thank everyone involved.

Sorry but that is just a brutal return for one of the top 3 defensemen in the game. I don't mind that my offer wasn't accepted at all, so it isn't jealousy, but geez, Huselius is basically a spare part in Calgary, and Rivet, well Rivet isn't that great at all.


This is just awful. Which is of course, I suppose, just my opinion.
