Do the Isles play the waiver wire route again? 22 year old Brett McLean was sent down. I could see the Isles making a move for him. Supposedly he played well with Tavares in 2007 in the OHL. Lets see what happens.

Now this is a guy I'd consider putting a claim in for. What do we have to lose?
He is only 22, supposedly has tons of potential and is a point a game player in the AHL. The question is, who gets bumped off of the current roster. From what it sounds like, his defensive game is not the best but the Isles could definitely use his offense.
I'm all for picking him up, having a 4th line with Reasoner and any two of Martin/Nystrom/Pandolfo would be really nice. Hell move Martin up on to the 3rd line wing and that would be perfect.

Honestly, sending Martin down to Bridgeport if we claim Nystrom wouldn't be too bad. Martin can get 1st line minutes and score on a team that needs some in the AHL.
But he'd have as much impact on the Islanders as Ryan Sittler, Brett Lindros, Robert Nilsson, Colton Orr.
Having a great last name doesn't make you great.
Nystrom is no different than Colliton or Marcinko in terms of what he brings.
I wish we did claim MacLean, there would definitely been a buyer for Comeau or Parenteau which could have brought in a decent dman, and then claim Nystrom. We could easily upgraded the team if we added a dman, MacLean, and Nystrom, for the price of P.A. or Blake.

Maclean can't even hold Comeau's or PA's jock. We've had MacLean before on this team. He also goes by the name of Jeff Tambellini and Andy HIlbert
So is Jason Krog, so it does not mean much at all.
Fair enough. He's not Mattias Weinhandl after all
I can't believe Krog's already 35 years old...he's 12 years older than JJ - he still looks like a kid and in my head, I think of him as a "prospect" still. Pretty pathetic on my part I suppose.
