It is very much up in the air if Garth Snow will be the New York Islanders General Manager after this season. That decision lies in the hands of Scott Malkin and Jonathan Ledecky. But one of Snow’s best moves has been under the radar trades.
When one says give me Garth’s two best trades, an automatic response would be to go to the acquisitions of Johnny Boychuk and Nick Leddy. Makes sense. Both players are core guys on the Islanders blue line.
For Boychuk, the Islanders traded away second-round draft picks in 2015 and 2016.
