Being a long time Isles fan, I'm wondering what Lou has in store for the team this year. Once again no word on deals, signings etc, will it be just after labour day again this year that we hear? Lots of speculation, such as Kadri already signing but Lou waiting to announce, Possible Barzel trade, or Beau even to make cap space. Even listening to the NHL podcast, there is now talk of the possibility of moving Varlamov to Vegas now the Lehner is out.

Screw Lou and his antiquated methods of running a team! The Isles were literally the ONLY team not to sign a player in free agency this year.
The word on the street is that the offer to Kadri is 7x7, which is just ridiculous! Kadri is a "decent" player who racked up a ton of points playing on a loaded offensive team. He has 2 "decent" years left in him at best, which means we'd be handcuffed with his salary for another 5 years. If we do sign him and anyone has to be moved, it sure as hell better be Bailey!
Not to mention that we don't need another center. What we do need, and what we've needed for a few years now is a winger to play with Barzal, but Lou has done absolutely NOTHING to address that. I would not blame Barzal at all if he wanted out when his contract expires.

Completely agree about Kadri. I’m worried the Flames will give him 7$ million …

I will never blame a player for going for money but to me for the player and team the best move for Kadri is to try and go back to Colorado for less money. Anyone who signs him for a deal around 7x7 is going to be disappointed. It won't work and be looked as a failure. He is not that level of player.
I give Lou credit for his career his track record is unbelievable but at this point I think he is able to maintain a level of respectability but not building a top level team anymore.
