The New York Islanders Could Use Johnny Gaudreau

from Larry Brooks of the New York Post,
- If Johnny Gaudreau spurns the Flames’ offer to keep the explosive, electric impending free-agent winger in Calgary, it will become Lou Lamoriello’s duty to bring the south Jersey native to Long Island.
Because running it back again with only a change behind the bench from Barry Trotz to Lane Lambert won’t do for the Islanders or their general manager, whose playing personnel is also in need of a jolt.
There is surely a shot that the winger will remain in Calgary following his 40-goal, 115-point season for the contending Flames, with whom he has played the entirety of his eight-year career. Calgary is the only team that can offer him an eight-year deal....
- We are told the Blackhawks are willing to take on bad contracts accompanied by assets and that Anaheim as well seems amenable to doing the same on a shorter-term basis.
The perpetual ne’er-do-well Coyotes are always open for that type of business.
- Finally, Alexander Mogilny did not fail to be elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Hockey Hall of Fame selection committee failed Alexander Mogilny.
more on the first topic plus other observations....
