	He is not a waste of Roster space, but we need someone who can score 25-35

	I agree with DaJetsGuy. Arron Asham is a fine defenseman, but I don't think defense should be the Islanders' priority this offseason. They need goals, and the 10 points Asham has put up this season just isn't going to cut it from the blue line. I know the Isles' experienced what it's like to get some scoring and little defense out of one of our blue liners (ahem MARC ANDRE BERGERON ahem) and I'm not saying that's what they should acquire. But they need to get some guys who can score, plain and simple. We've all watched them tough out the lack of goals this season (currently lowest in the league in scoring in terms of goals/game) and that is obviously the most glaring need. Also, Asham is -6 on a pretty good Devils team. So maybe my comment about him being a fine defenseman is out of line anyway.

	I agree that getting Asham back could be useful...But why bring him back as a DEFENSEMAN? Last I checked he played winger. Probably a good idea to keep him there, where he has played his ENTIRE career. Not a hater, just like accuracy in posts...especially from a SUPERSTAR with a reputation of 95.

	No way! The Islanders have plenty of third and fourth line wingers who can play hard but not put the biscuit in the basket... I'd rather see Colliton, Comeau, Regier, Nielsen or Walter getting substantial minutes than bringing Asham back. The Isles need a true top-line center and a scoring winger, preferably a right winger to replace Miro...

	Yeah, but he brings some experienced toughness and 10-15 goals. I think him getting 8-10 minutes a night would be good. And yes, a true top-line center is needed.

	Sorry about that, RichSPilot. Wrote it before 9 a.m. I think, probably my first mistake. :) I'm sure if you check around my other posts you'll see that I know my Isles.
