Shane Prince, Chris Wagner, Brandon Davidson, and Tyler Kennedy, what do they all have in common? They are Islanders trade deadline (or about as close to the deadline as you can get) trades in recent history.
That crop of players isn't necessarily one that sticks out all that much in terms of production. The last time the Isles made a deadline acquisition that had a major impact was Ryan Smyth all those years ago.
Well, today is a pivotal day for the Islanders and the direction of their team. They can go into the deadline quiet, and with a team that has been better offensively, granted it was two games at home against two bad teams, or they can make some noise and actually try to do something with their window.
