Am I the only one that laughed when Wade Dubielewicz was picked up off waivers by the Blue Jackets, catching the Islanders completely off guard, and still leaving the terrible team with Mike Dunham as their backup to Yann Danis? Seriously, what else can go wrong for them? I’m waiting for Guerin and Weight to skate into each other, get hurt, and the Islanders left unable to trade them.

Joking aside, the Islander pre-season game in Kansas City and subsequent rumors of a move to KC has me a little worried. Rangers/Islanders is one of the best rivalries in hockey. Even when one team is terrible, they always bring their best to the rink to face off against their rival. Should this move happen, I will mourn the loss of the rivalry.

The Sharks have called up Claude Lemieux. Really? I mean, sure, he was a +2 with 14 points in 24 games in the AHL this year after signing in December, but don’t you think that the now 43 year old enforcer is going to feel a little out of place with the high scoring, fast paced Sharks? I give him a month before getting waived.
