I hope that when the project the fact that real estate values in surrounding areas will rise (if thats even possible with this economy) is something you can live with. I understand your move but it is a risk as is every move in times as turbulent as these.FCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257390834035255979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510888551014839715.post-48324929142308247092008-09-26T09:17:00.000-04:002008-09-26T09:17:00.000-04:00Well, no news is good news on the 'Lighthouse&...Well, no news is good news on the 'Lighthouse' project, as far as I am concerned. My previous posts on why life in the surrounding areas will be ruined is well documented. Actually, it is not a problem for me any more as I have sold my home after 31 years in nearby East Meadow. My hearts go out to all the people living nearby the coliseum when that debacle is built!<BR/>Getting back to MY ISLES, ( I used to have a license plate with that!)<BR/>one team that will be worse is the LA Kings & looking at that team, a nice fit for the Isles would be unsigned Patrick O' Sullivan (L,C) who LA might try to trade away. The Kings are soft on Def, I would part with Campoli or Gervais & a draft pick to get him.<BR/>Also, we need a better back-up goaltender, DP will not last a full season & having an AHL as a back up will insure us a last place finish in the Atlantic.<BR/>On the new coach, I think he will get the most out of our group of players & if they play to the coaches expectations, we'll still finish last! But, I'm a glutton for punishment & will watch every game,......at least till the end of the first, till O'Reilly comes on!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
