Eklund: Josh Bailey for Komisarek or Bogosian?Hemsky to Detroit or Pitt? BC Dinner?

On Komisarek for Bailey... I have been holding out, in hopes to announce this as an e5, but my sources right now are actually getting more skeptical as the day goes by... I would put it at an e3 for now, but this really could go either way. On Bogosian for Bailey...... One of the reasons the Komisarek deal could be moving away from the Isles may be the posiibility of acquiring...

Plyaer Review: Josh Bailey

Josh Bailey may have joined the New York Islanders a little earlier that almost anyone felt comfortable with, but he had a few hot streaks and flashes of what could potentially come in the next few years. In many ways it seems that Bailey’s career could go one of two ways. He could either have been rushed to the NHL level too fast and collapse, or he could take advantage of this...

Josh Bailey Is Sent to the Port

Josh Bailey was sent to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers on “loan” today.  From what I have read, if he had played in one more game, the Islanders would have had to put Bailey through wavers to make the move, so doing it now saves them from that issue.   After a hot start with 3 goals and 3 assists, Bailey has not found himself on the score sheet in some 17 games.  It had...

Isles stomp Avalance – Bailey a ‘player’ in the making

Some thoughts from last night’s game – as I sit at MacArthur Airport awaiting for my flight to sunny Florida. Solid effort ALL around.  Rollie was smart in his positioning and make the key saves when needed.  The defense was strong, and the Wiz provided the positive return on the power play. Josh Bailey is really emerging a future force to be recokend with Milan Jurcina...

A Few Things

1) As per TSN.ca, Josh Bailey is going to start the season on the Islanders' roster. The Islanders have to make a decision on Bailey's future before he plays his tenth game; either he'll stay on the big club all year or he'll return to Windsor and captain the Spitfires, his OHL team. I see him returning to juniors, but it doesn't hurt to get him some exposure early on. One writer...
