So What Are The Columbus Blue Jackets Up To?

Deadline Daze

Found February 28, 2008 on Hot Stove New York: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Blake Comeau,  Frans Nielsen,  Jeff Tambellini,  Kyle Okposo,  Dustin Kohn
TEAMS: New York Islanders

Although the deadline was rather dull from an Islanders fans perspective, maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Garth Snow, at least so far, has proven to be a competent GM and did not throw away our future. With 2 extra draft picks in this years draft, which is supposedly the deepest draft in years, the Islanders might be able to find some impact players. In addition to the draft picks, the recent play of Blake Comeau, Frans Nielsen and Jeff Tambellini, the "kids" are proving that maybe the Islanders have a future. With the likes of Kyle Okposo and Dustin Kohn still down in Bridgeport maybe there is something for fans to look forward to. All of this because Garth Snow did not budge from his position.

Isles Look Dull Yet "Kid" Line Shines

Via Hot Stove New York  |  February 27, 2008
The one bright spot of the game for me, was the continued excellent play of the "kid" line. Jeff Tambellini, Frans Nielsen and Blake Comeau have shown recently that they have the type of skill that should result in a full time spot on the Islanders roster. Again last night, the "kids" had a great forecheck and they hunted down any loose puck.
