Welcome to the Island Brayden Schenn!!

Had a blast watching everyone blow a lid! So to summarize

• Isles traded Drouin, who this sub was VERY vocal about their dislike of him
• Isles traded a goalie prospect, NOT their top goalie prospect might I add
• Isles traded a 1st round pick, BUT, get this, they still have a pick in the first round anyways!

Drouin and Gidlof for Schenn? Cmon now, no one here would actually do that right? Having that extra first was the final piece. Isles didn't have a 2nd rounder to give btw, and a 3rd round pick ain't gonna cut it for a player like Schenn

Now, brief highlights about Schenn, and I urge everyone to check his tapes/stats other than his date of birth and Goals...

• Brayden Schenn: CUP WINNER, built for the playoffs, not afraid to stand up for his teammates, not afraid to hit, Excellent faceoff specialist, veteran leader that can offer more veteran experience than any current Islander. Aside from Palat, 0 cup winners on that roster. That is ABSOLUTELY necessary come playoff time.

I mean, you guys wanna talk lack of scoring and his age but completely neglect the fact that his value to this Isles club is being completely underestimated. Btw he's tied for 7th on the Isles in goals, not horrible at all.

No, this isn't gonna fix everything, OBVIOUSLY, but it's a step forward.

Oh and cut the shit with the Darche slander. He got rid of Drouin less than a year in, got rid of a failing goalie coach less than a year in, rewards the team for their surprisingly good play this year with depth moves WITHOUT compromising the future, and most of all we the fans actually get to see/hear what's going on with this organization as opposed to Lou's closed door policy.

Lotta work to do, but yall gotta stop getting so angry so fast pleeeease.

Let's go Islanders
