With a day off in Arizona a working wi-fi set-up, Newsday's Arthur Staple took some questions from Islanders fans on Twitter today, with topics ranging from trades, the possible end of Kirill Petrov's North American adventure and who's squeezing their stick a little too tightly these days.
Some select questions and replies are below, but the whole thread can be found here. As always, we thank Arthur for doing this since we're reasonably sure he's not secretly an alien lizard person sent to Earth to enslave us.
