Bo Horvat! I haven’t had a chance to write anything since the trade happened with the Vancouver Canucks, and I’m sure you’re sick of reading longer posts about the whole situation. We have plenty of pieces that dissect the trade, what it means for the New York Islanders in the here and now, and whether Horvat will sign an extension.
But let me just say that I am excited. It’s rare that your team makes a blockbuster trade, and it’s even rarer if your team is the Islanders. As Michael Leboff said on the reaction Islanders Anxiety emergency episode, this is the kind of stuff that being a fan is all about.
