And we continue our player-by-player look at the Islanders with Julien Gauthier. What was his season like and can he get his career back on track at the NHL level next year with the Islanders?

No thanks.
I don't know about this one he was great 2015
He was great 2016 to 2020 after that he has alot of issues it seems like
Laine now wants out of clb so always a possibility but realistically it wont happen if the rumoured offers of 4 pieces-player(s), 2 picks and or first/ prospect are true then isles have no shot at laine. If the price drops and bj's who may throw say boquist in on deal can't get that package maybe laine can be had after other forwards like marner, zegras, isle rumoured target ehlers get moved and the ufa's like reinhart, stamkos, marchesseault, petterson, lindholm all sign around july 1. Laine could be a cheap option then yet at $8.5×2 bj's would have to eat some salary to make deal. And canes are shopping necas so necas for laine tumours are out there. And hawks with plenty of cap space/picks and utah yotes with a whopping $41 mil. in cap space and a boatload of picks next two drafts could out bid anyone for laine or any player of their choice. Isles only have $ 6.6 mil. in cap space which is a joke with all of those ntc's and long term deals and no assets of worth to move are shit out of luck once again unless laine goes for say a second and d. nelson. And a team like canes and casucks with all of those ufa's they can't sign could fall back and trade for laine too. One trade thrown out there. Laine to la for pld. That would be funny as hell. This rumour is nothing to get excited about. Just another available off-season forward louzer will whiff on. Just like last off-season, and the off-season before…
This is where LL's poor decision making and horrific cap management works to the franchises advantage. Laine is a poison pill. He will wind up somewhere and for less than most believe in terms of asset cost. The amount of cap gymnastics that would be necessary for Lou to make this work turns this into an absolute non starter….Thankfully!😊
Laine for Nelson
Troy Noak are you crazy ? Laine is damaged goods and in my opinion he is washed up as a player,m
The Islanders need a left-wing to go with Barzal and Horvat.
Dufuor and a second in 2024 plus a 2nd in 2025 for Laine
Gil, I don’t think senile Lou has the ability to make any big trades. I’ll take laine just for the chance of better offense and power play. Of course I wanted him years ago just like duclair. Gauthier with fasching and Maclean should be the fourth line next season. I’d rather see Iskhakov next season instead of holmstrom. I guess this season’s Russian is going on the second line. Trade jgp so then Casey can center third line with lee and engvall. Still need someone for the first line wing. I want Pelech gone. Maybe we can suck in Toronto.
Iskhakov,Bo,barzy
Tsyplakov,Nelson,palmieri
Lee,Casey,engvall
Fasching,Maclean, gauthier
Ex. Holstrom, wahlstrom , and mayfield
Romanov,Dobson
Pelech ,pulock
Bolduc,Reilly
Drive for 5! lol
pass
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. What a surprise. Nothing like some poor decisions made by a desperate team.
It is a disaster this would be insane to do but that is a lou move
Not with all his issues and not at his price! I used to want him but he is a big gamble at this point! Stay away! He is making what? 8.7 million? No way! For 4 million maybe but not at 8.7 million
Maybe we could trade a 4th and Eberle for Laine? Oh, wait…

Good 🌄, Gil, how are you? I hope you're feeling better. Patrick Laine, excellent qualities, a sniper, big dude 6'5. 205 lbs; however, his numbers took a hit, and he's taking care of his mental health. He's 26 years old, and if Lou Lamoriello's smart, HE'LL, SNAP HIM UP, AND FAST. We've heard the good, now for the bad. He's constantly been injured, and they would have to involve a 3rd team. For once, I hope Lou Lamoriello will do what he thinks is best. Also, Laine didn't get along in Winnipeg and Columbus. Julian Gauthier, 5 goals, 9 points, minus 9. Disappointed by his own admission. 26 years old, been in the league for 5 years, with 4 different teams he needs to get his act together. HAPPY 🎂, JOEL RECKLITZ. He sounds like Rip Wheeler, meaning he doesn't fight for the fun of it, he fights because he got teammates back. Hear from you later, Gil, and let's hope The Panthers keep their sharpened tomorrow, and LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
He puts the puck in the net, great for the 1st Line, he’s a lot of money that’s the problem, Can’t wait to see old boy Lou jerk this situation off lol, great show thank you Gil
