I would say in three years they will be a pretty good team with many matured offensive weapons like Tavares, Nino, Bailey and Okposo...hopefullly Dipietro stays healthy

More free agents, less internal solutions. It rarely works out that so mnay guys pan out.
Also, Gillies replaces Sparky the Dragon as the new mascot.

Why does everyone spell Frans Nielsen's last name in their own variation?

Should be a contending team, but only time will tell.

I think some people were actually talking about Brock Nelson.

There is hardly any guarantee that Roloson won't be playing in 3 years. He is still very solid at age 41, and he isn't exactly looking like he is about to break down anytime soon. If DiPietro remains healthy (that seems even less likely than Roloson playing at age 44), the Isles could very well have 2 good goalies on their hands (think top 20 in the league).
Furthermore, the Isles already have a couple of solid goalie prospects (Koskinen, Poulin, Nilsson) waiting in the wings, although, admittedly, none of them are guaranteed any NHL succes.

Like all teams that suck for a number of years in a row, they'll be competitors soon.

Satan, Comrie, Hilbert, Guerin and Fedotenko? Most of those in your top 6? That's embarassing. You won't get close to the cup with players like that.

No, actually Vasicek made them all better though.
Defense depth is also an improvement.

Having Roloson greatly improves the team in net...compared to Dubielewicz in 2007.
