I think he'll pull a surprise run for president one of these days. He's just waiting until he's old enough.

Patrick Roy and Anthony Duclair reunited.

Duke- Horvat -Barzal

I’m here for it

I like Duclair and all but I think he’s a good 2nd line player.

Chrismercy

NYI - NHL

If the isles put a second line talent on the first line it will be an upgrade

That’s fair lol.

Tniz15

NYI - NHL

Cizikas was our LW1 for a good chunk of the season. This is a good thing

That was because the 2nd line had good chemistry and they didn’t want to mess with it. Nobody actually believes cizikas was our best lw.

Tniz15

NYI - NHL

No, but adding an actual LW to that line is going to be good

RealestJP

NYI - NHL

Honestly, considering his competition was Engvall, Lee, Holmstrom and Matt Martin, Zeeker might have been our best LW

NYI - NHL

Wait we did something

Rosstheboss70

CAR - NHL

Lou's actually announcing stuff on July 1st now? is he feeling okay?

NYI - NHL

No, he is off his meds

mylefthandkilledme

ANA - NHL

Ducks are the only team now to have not signed anyone today

ProMikeZagurski

ANA - NHL

Shhh we're still tanking. We'll ice a team with 16 players and one goalie.

mylefthandkilledme

ANA - NHL

Even with tanking, you got to hit the cap floor

ProMikeZagurski

ANA - NHL

The Coyotes had most of their roster on the IR. Time to trade for Chris Pronger again.

NYI - NHL

Better than bad and risky signs… believe me

Jcanzo37

NYI - NHL

THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!! THATS WHY HES THE GOAT 🥱🤌🏻

daveloper80

NYI - NHL

Wow, no word on AAV yet but I really like Duclair. His speed is going to be a big asset

myevilfriend

NYI - NHL

3.5 mil. Not bad at all

bageloid

NYI - NHL

Is that confirmed?

myevilfriend

NYI - NHL

It's from Friedman so I would think so

bageloid

NYI - NHL

cool

daveloper80

NYI - NHL

Very pleased, honestly perfect

rwh151

He seems like a great fit for the Islanders tbh.

daveloper80

NYI - NHL

When we got Pageau from Ottawa I was hoping we would get Duclair at the same time so this feels like a long time coming for me! lol.

Designer_Trouble_849

I’m in a hockey text group with my father in law & cousin. Im a Sharks fan, fil is a lightning fan & cousin is an Isles fan. He’s been on all our our teams within the last year lol

I was hoping we would keep him.

Allen_Koholic

TBL - NHL

At that cap hit, unless JBB has something else cooking with that remaining cap, I'm surprised Tampa didn't.

NYI - NHL

I was hoping that too for Tampa lol

Cole-Caufield

Sherbrooke Phœnix - QMJHL

He played under Roy in juniors

SatireSqurriel

MTL - NHL

Bye bye beard

Woullie_26

MTL - NHL

He woke up from his nap

NightWing_91

NJD - NHL

And he did it early this year lol usually don't hear anything from lou until October

NYI - NHL

No he fell into a coma

Isles looking nice now wow

NYI - NHL

We do?

Oh this is badass, nice work Lou.

I'm happy about this

Solid player, any word on the AAV?

3.5 mil

hmm, just a bit steep

or a huge steal

Lundric23

NYI - NHL

Time to blast a little Sir Duke at work!

RS_EJB

3.5m aav seems doable.

Arctic365

VAN - NHL

Damn I really wanted him in Vancouver

NYI - NHL

I really want him in Vancouver too lmao

Manofoneway221

Is it for way too long and way too much money?

myevilfriend

NYI - NHL

4 years 3.5m AAV

h4venz

MTL - NHL

Going back to play for his old coach, should be interesting

viewless25

NYI - NHL

we'll see the term but i'm happy with the player

kimscz

SJS - NHL

Would’ve loved to have him back in teal. Good for you guys!

-2

NYI - NHL

Same…

whatscoochie

CBJ - NHL

It’s hard to believe he’s only 28. this is the longest deal of his career so far, I have a hunch that he’s going to thrive with that kind of job security (if NYI sees it through and doesn’t trade him)

_Salsa_Shark

SJS - NHL

Damn I was hoping Duke would return

-1

NYI - NHL

Same…

reggierock2010

We need AAV Lou

BruinsFuck

Damn. Would’ve loved him as our final piece

-2

NYI - NHL

Make an offer lol

Cole-Caufield

Sherbrooke Phœnix - QMJHL

I hope he actually stays there, dude is moving way too much

-5

NYI - NHL

I hope against this

smexeh

EDM - NHL

Does anyone have a photo of Duclair without a beard?

Tasden

TBL - NHL

It can be really difficult for some people to shave. I'm interested to see how that will go.

rayogata

TBL - NHL

Ah, fuck.

NYI - NHL

You can talk your account manager and say to not go through with the deal… please.

TBL - NHL

So we weren't keeping him with the extra money either :^)

NYI - NHL

I’m happy to give him back

TBL - NHL

For 3.5 I really don't think its too bad at all, if he clicks with Horvat/Barzal he could be doing really well just like he was with Kuch/Point/Stammer. If he doesn't it isn't too hard to move him around.

NYI - NHL

His injury sheet concerns me and he is streaky… and we got him for 4 yrs.

I’m not happy. I hope we move him.

TBL - NHL

Valid concerns, the exact reasons I had worries for us signing him, but at least it would be a middle 6 nhl player filling one of our gaping holes

NYI - NHL

I hope he isn’t here to stay and is a future trading piece.

TBL - NHL

Valid concerns, the exact reasons I had worries for us signing him, but at least it would be a middle 6 nhl player filling one of our gaping holes

PapaStoner

Québec Nordiques - NHLR

Yeah, But Roy knows how he ticks.

NYI - NHL

I’m done talking about this. I will live vicariously through the Sharks after we collapse this season.

Ham__Kitten

He'll be traded three times before the year is done

GoldenMarauder

NYI - NHL

This is a great signing that fills a big positional need for us, but even better it is going to make the most ~~racist~~ insufferable fans from Suffolk County absolutely furious.

BHisa

NYI - NHL

Fuck the racists, but also Kyle Okoposo played here for eight years and is absolutely adored.

Every place has their share of racists.

Damn I was hoping Tampa could keep him, he looked great out there.

NYI - NHL

I was hoping that too for you

I hope Duke has a NMC for team #9

Jolly_Ad_5549

Will he have to cut his hair?

Damn it...he's gonna have to cut his hair now, isn't he? SMH.

I am now firmly in the Fire Lou camp

BaroldTrotzky

NYI - NHL

Fire Lou over singing a speedy top-6 winger for $3.5M?

Iron_Seguin

VAN - NHL

That dude has replied to nearly every comment shit talking the signing, is he okay? Lmao….

ChampaBayLightning

TBL - NHL

At one point he had replied to literally every comment lmao what is wrong with that dude. Duclair is awesome I wish we had kept him cause he looked great with Kuch in particular.
