This is alarming if it is true and someone better ask Lou.

well, first of all he is full of **** because regardless if he or his agent spoke to the Isles or not - he knew damn well that the reports out there were that the Islanders were in on the Johnny Hockey sweepstakes until CBJ came in and signed him. Unless he was living under a rock he can't cry ignorance.

GAUDREAU NEVER SPOKE TO ISLANDERS THIS SUMMER On Saturday night, Jonny Gaudreau heard the boos reign down from the UBS crowd every time he touched the puck. This summer, the Islanders were believed to be in play for the 29-year-old superstar. After the Philadelphia Flyers, his childhood team failed to clear enough salary cap space, it seemed that the New Jersey Devils and the New York Islanders, per the national reports, were the two teams left to battle it out.

But then the Columbus Blue Jackets swooped in and ‘stole’ the asset, signing him to a seven-year, $68.25 million deal ($9.75 M AAV).

Per Johnny Gaudreau in an interview with ESPN’s Emily Kaplan, the New York Islanders never reached out to him this past summer, which is why he did not understand the booing.

Assuming what he says is true, this reinforces the idea that most of the media just makes up reports around the draft, free agency and the trade deadline to drum up interest.

Weren't they the first team to sign him an NHL contract a number of years ago?

Yep. He chose them as his preferred team to play for

And about a yr later they got rid of him.

Kadri 7x$7M in CAL

If we go into this season with the same roster as last season then I cant say I'm optimistic.

Check out my post in the off season thread, let's discuss there. Thanks!

Not us? I had mixed feelings anyway, but is Lou really done?

Sounds like one of the top UFAs of this summer, Nazem Kadri, is finally getting off the market
