That’s the hard thing with trades, they may have been but we may never hear about it.

There's a reason for the old adage:
99% of players get discussed, 1% get traded

Unfortunately, those discussions don't become public until 20 years after the GM retires.

imagine how pissed people would be if we traded a 2nd rounder for Anthony Beauvillier? lol

Funniest post here in far toooo long!

Islanders told Palmieri they are not trading him, they should also tell him he can grow a beard, for all our sakes

Lou just got an absolute haul for an expiring asset in Brock Nelson:
To Islanders: Calum Ritchie, a 1st-round selection in the 2026 or 2027 NHL Draft, a conditional 3rd-round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft, and defenseman Oliver Kylington from the Colorado Avalanche, in exchange for Brock Nelson & William Dufour.

Lou may have just "won" deadline day with this steal!

And to think --- Nelson could simply re-sign and go back to the Islanders this summer!

I’d be very upset. But how does Beaivillier get a 2nd and Smith gets a 3rd and washed up prospect? This is what makes me question Drury.

I would try to simplify it. We got pick 65-70 and a 23 yr old forward (former 1st rd) for a 33 yr old Reilly Smith. Washington gave up pick 50+ for a 27 yr old. Not too bad.

Washington pick at end pf second and Sharks at top of third are pretty much the same. Negligible difference in terms of pick variation.

No trade clause = No leverage for GM.

Drury handing out NTC with every contract. Not sure about AB's contract.

7 of his 8 teams are allegedly canadian teams. Whatever, not going to drag this out, just giving my opinion.

Interesting. Any player traded from a Canadian team to a US team can’t play until late next week bc of the work visa issue.

Yes, US players exempt obviously lol. Are you referring to Canadian born players?

Didn’t Smith get his from Pit?

Its a 5 pick swing. Drury could have gotten a 2nd but also wanted the prospect. Not a huge difference
