^I agree but I think the key to the playoffs is Hasek staying healthy. Bertuzzi will help bring some toughness and scoring on the top lines. Hope Zetterberg comes back healthy for the playoffs as well seeing as how he was one of the only top players to do anything in last years series against the Oilers.

It may be one of the worst trades in the history of the NHL
not even close,
02/06/98: Islanders trade D Bryan McCabe, C Todd Bertuzzi and a third-round draft pick to Vancouver for Trevor Linden
01/09/99: Islanders trade D Bryan Berard to Toronto for G Felix Potvin
06/23/00: Islanders trade G Kevin Weekes, D Kristian Kudroc and a second-round pick to Tampa Bay for the fifth overall pick and fourth- and seventh-rounders. They also trade G Roberto Luongo and F Olli Jokinen to the Florida Panthers for F Oleg Kvasha and Mark Parrish, and trade D Eric Brewer and LW Josh Green to Edmonton for D Roman Hamrlik.
06/23/01: Islanders obtain C Alexei Yashin from Ottawa for D Zdeno Chara, RW Bill Muckalt, and the second overall pick in the 2001 Draft which was Jason Spezza. Thats the worst trade ever, they gave up a all-star d-man, a great prospect in Spezza and Bill Mucklat for Yashin and then signed him to that horrible deal

03/11/03: Islanders trade LW Brad Isbister and prospect LW Raffi Torres to the Edmonton Oilers for D Janne Niinimaa, a 2003 second round pick and a 2003 fourth round pick

Ah the genius of Mike Milbury, I honestly don't know how he maintained a job for so long. Worst GM in the history of the game IMO. Could have went the Pittsburgh route but continue to settle for mediocrity.

Ahh the good old Milbury days with the Isles. I'm surprised he's not the general manager of another club right now, he was obviously quite good at his job.

Don't 4get about the trades the L.A. Jesters be making. Whoever they make trades with rips them off nearly all the time. They would win more games & Stanley Cup while L.A. is in the toilet every year. Shoot, the Jesters are the worst organization in SoCal. And that title was mostly held by the Clippers, and the Rams when they were here.
