Back on NYHR tonight (hopefully)….
Posted by Gary Harding under Booster Club , Cool A-C League , Islanders 08-09 , NY Hockey ReportHave not been on in a while, and I hope the other two are with me tonight, or it will be a quick update, and off.
I am off to the NHL Booster Club Convention next week, so I am not sure that I will be on then. Maybe a call in - we’ll see…
Nothing new going on in Islander land, so no need to post at this time. Just hearing that names are coming by to stop and talk to Mr. Snow.
From late July - to early September, it is real tough to talk puck… Except —
Interesting move by Minnesota to release Mark Parrish with 3 years left on the contract. They said it was a salary cap move. You release a hometown boy with 8 million left on a contract, 32 years old and 3 years remaining, and two weeks before you sign Owen “I am ready for Medicare” Nolan to a contract….???
Hey Doug Reisbrough, are you on Dope? (Great Question, Mr. Hand…)
Now - I can hear Isles fans saying… “Let’s get him back!!!”
Interesting thought - but no.

As much as I like Mark, I don’t think it would be a good fit at this point. If it is the younger players and a younger team that is desired, well, I don’t know if that is something management would consider. Also his goal production over the last two seasons has not been much more than what our “best” scorers totaled up last season. I think he had 16 goals in 2007/2008 and 19 the previous season..
