RUMOR: McCabe Wants to Come Back (75%)

Well, this is the rumor I was talking about. I was going to go with the "McCabe to the Island?" title, but "McCabe Wants to Come Back" is much better. I am literally sick of hearing "McCabe to the Island?" Like, seriously. It makes me feel sick. So, to keep my keyboard clean, I'll go with the new title.

Rumor is that defenseman Bryan McCabe wants to come back to play for the Islanders. Most likely, the rumor is true. How will he get here? That is what we do not know. He will either have to be bought out, or traded here. Most likely, the trade talk will commence. I'm not sure it will take too much to get him here, but we will have to give up something. Good thing is, it probably won't be a young guy. Then again, it probably will be.

It is obvious that Snow and Nolan want to build the team through the youth. But I'm pretty sure the Leafs won't let the trade happen unless they get a solid prospect in return. The first people to pop in my head are Colliton, and, sadly, Tambellini. Throw in a draft pick or two with one of them and the trade is set.

We'll see what happens this summer with this rumor. I'll keep you posted (pun intended) on this one, and many others. For now, turn your head to the TV screen, and watch some of this year's playoffs. There is truly nothing better than playoff hockey. If you have watched any games from this year's playoffs, I'm sure you will agree with me. And then again, you will realize why the Islanders would just not fit in the playoffs. Easily, they'd get dominated. The pace is just too high now, so getting McCabe could be a huge step for us.

More posts to come in the next few days. I have to keep things going, so you will see some more two-posts-in-a-day.



Let's Go Islanders!!!
