Comments on: Paging Dick Tracy….. http://www.viewfromsection317.com/2009/07/23/paging-dick-tracy/ A perspective about the Islanders, Hockey and other ramblings from Gary Harding, a former Islanders Booster Club President and season ticket holder since 1989. The Blog Name, basically tells you where I sit. From Row B, Seat 1 in Section 317, I watch the boys that wear my home on their sweaters play hockey over 40 times (hopefully more) every season. As of October 2008, Gary is a member of the NYI Blog Box, a collection of Islander Bloggers, who will be working at the Coliseum this season, talking about their favorite team.

Wouldn't make sense to have 3 legit #1 goalies if Ricky was going to be back let's say November or so. 3) As for trading Biron. Yes, that wouldn't be difficult, but don't expect a huge return. Perhaps as high as a 3rd round pick if he's playing well. So it wasn't a high risk signing, but it doesn't seem to bode well for the 'franchise goalie' to be back any time soon.(Which seems to contradict the team saying he will be ready for camp)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('55915','fauxrumors'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('55915','fauxrumors','1) If it simply was insurance if Ricky wasn\'t ready to start the season then Roloson should have been insurance enough, no? \r\n2) It tells us that the team believes that Ricky either won\'t be back before the New year, or may not be ready at all this season.

Yes, it gives us two quality, experienced goaltenders, and that is a positive to go into the season. And, no, I'm not taking Anything away from last season. It just gives us real strength should Ricky not be good to go, and having two, proven veterans is something to take comfort in.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('55614','John Panarese'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('55614','John Panarese','I think it was a truly Great move.
