One of our Colorado blog friends Jibblescibbits states that Hannan has been playing better as of late. Say hi to Theresa !<BR/>2) Trotz: Yes, Andy Sutton got 3 year 9 mil deal. His stats aren't terrible or impressive. Probably not worth that kind of money, but the Isles shouldn't have thought they were getting much more than a better version of Eric Cairns in Andy SuttonFAUX RUMORShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403913043629362701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-57383670997809912462007-12-04T11:06:00.000-08:002007-12-04T11:06:00.000-08:00Faux:How abouty another islander signie Andy Sutto...Faux:<BR/>How abouty another islander signie Andy Sutton. I wasn't pleased when they got him. He got a big contract from the Islanders and so far I don't see why.<BR/>A former islander Roman Hamrlik seems like he's finally found a good place to play. He was good over here and never got his due.

Also no word if his geriatric strumpet wife/GF finally made it over there or is chasing another younger NHL-er<BR/>2) Semin would probably deserve mentioning. He has been hampered by a chronic ankle injury that either seems to still be bothering him, or he's expecting it to give out. So far-a bust!<BR/>3) Drury's potential worth will be in the spring. He's not going to score 50, but he does seem to get clutch goals in the playoffs as the Sabres and Avs have seen in years past. If he repeats those feats, we'd say the money was worth it, else they over paid for a 2nd line center<BR/>4) Gomez will score 15-20 and have 50-60 assts in most seasons for 65-80 pts. On the edge of being a true #1 center. Right now his salary is too steep for his productionFAUX RUMORShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403913043629362701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-39872697574259705232007-12-04T09:09:00.000-08:002007-12-04T09:09:00.000-08:00Nice list, faux...enjoyed reinforcing that four of...Nice list, faux...enjoyed reinforcing that four of your 'worth it' picks are on my fantasy hockey team, but my real team has two of free agents not delivering. Though, I will say Drury will pay in dividends this season as he is 'The Clutch Man' - one of the only players who parks himself on the opposing goalies back and waits...he is remarkable. I recall over and over in my head that final game in the playoffs when he scored with seven seconds left...waiting for the loose puck....for minutes, watching, waiting....the Cup would be nice!<BR/><BR/>Gomez will pass the puck to anyone willing to take it. He is twice as fast as anyone on our team which makes him useless. We need a speedskater to compliment his line.The Dark Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12394949785830752700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-8212325285413216852007-12-04T08:33:00.000-08:002007-12-04T08:33:00.000-08:00Faux, do you know if Yashin is earning his dough o...Faux, do you know if Yashin is earning his dough on his Russian team?

Not only is Guerin not scoring(like the entire Islander team) he is making 4.5 mil this year and next.<BR/>2) Right now he in on pace to "accumulate" 18 goals and 39 points along with a -21.<BR/>3) Add to that he's also the team captain and your 'bust' label may be accurate if he doesn't significantly pick it up<BR/>4) However, as we note in the post, its isn't a surprise for he and many. Guerin is 37 and anyone who watched the playoffs last spring saw his disappearing act.
