At face value, the New York Islanders are set on the right side of the defense. With Johnny Boychuk, Ryal Pulock and Scott Mayfield. But what if they could get an upgrade by landing Dougie Hamilton?
According to Elliotte Friedman, it’s possible that Carolina would entertain the possibility of trading the former 18 goal scorer. The Hurricanes are currently seven points back of the Islanders and Sabres who hold the two wildcard spots in the Eastern Conference. They’re set to miss the playoffs for the tenth year in a row.
If the Islanders can find a way to bring in one of the better and young blueliners in the league, they should.
