The New York Islanders have dropped a September surprise. The blue and orange have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with veteran blueliner Zdeno Chara. It’s a good short-term move for the Islanders.
The New York Islanders had an opening on left defense when they traded Nick Leddy early in the off-season. They finally found Leddy’s replacement in Chara. Well, they found Leddy’s replacement for now at least, and maybe beyond.
