The New York Islanders make a splash, trading Jonathan Drouin, picks and a prospect to the St. Louis Blues for Brayden Schenn, while also extending Jean-Gabriel Pageau.
Brayden Schenn Is a great move for us. No way we hold off CBJ without stabilizing the top six. He provides instant confidence and production to the team. His physical presence and snarl is much needed and infectious. We have Captains in Lee Horvat and Schenn that kind of grit cannot be underestimated. The kids are coming and they will be in the best atmosphere to learn the Pro Game correctly. I expect you will see back to back wins in SJ and St. Louis. A dude like that walks into the locker room everyone’s spirits are lifted. Especially Patty’s he has a firebrand type player in Schenn. Him Waving NTC tells you how the leagues players view the entire Islanders organization.
Any chance Dmitry Gamzin can get bought out of KHL contract and be in Camp in September? Would love to see him team with Sorokin next year. That backup Goalie position is becoming a troublesome issue. Obviously the organization has targeted him as a potential replacement for #2. Maybe KHL is better for his long term development?
Well Done 👍 We have the resources to hold a top three spot in the metro. While at the same time not dipping into the prospect pool. So many great vets to welcome the young guys the next few years. Durion was beyond horrible!
I see how he can help, but I look at our lineup for next year with him and Palat and I see old and slow. And we have home for two more years and now JGP for three. Where’s the youth movement?
