It’s NHL Draft weekend, which means trades usually begin to heat up and rumors begin to swirl. Yesterday, the rumor on Isles Twitter was the New York Islanders expressing interest in Alex Galchenyuk.
Galchneyuk can play center and on the left side, and is coming off a 41 point (19 goals, 22 assists) season in 72 games. He’s eclipsed 50 points in a season twice in his career and is a former 30 goal scorer.
At just 25 years old with one more year remaining at $4.9 million it’s hard not to find Galcenyuk intriguing.
