I'd buy out Toews before Seabrook to be honest.

I'm not sure I agree. Captain could have a rebound year or two at some point with the right linemates and a better team. Despite the contract he can stillcontribute even if not to the level of his pay scale.
Seabs has no rebound left in him and the idea of a "better team" with him in the D corps is difficult to imagine.

If Tavares walks, the Isles might be interested in a bottom end top line center.
In fact, maybe they could trade Tavares for Toews at the deadline, if they are sure he will test free agency. Not sure what the Hawks would do with 2 months of Tavares though. It could end up being a lose-lose trade.

At least you get some offense back for the money for a bunch of years, overpayment or not. ...if only Mike Milbury was still GMing the Isles...Snow is not super sharp but he's no Milbury unfortunately.

It's unbelievable how those two have been the GM of that team for the past 20 years. Usually that few GMs for that long of a stretch would mean there was some sort of elite dynasty. I may have brought it up here before, but I maintain that the Islanders are the league's most hopeless/depraved franchise. There are other teams who may have been worse longer. But they fire GMs and coaches in an effort to get better. The Islanders just roll over and accept being slightly worse than mediocre. Tavares is a huge waste of talent that that management never deserved.

Leddy is a -21. Must have hit a few hole in ones on the back nine.

Leddy is a -21. Must have hit a few hole in ones on the back nine. That is a big halfway point number.
