At the 2016 NHL Trade Deadline, the New York Islanders sent a third-round pick to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for rookie forward Shane Prince as well as a seventh-round selection.
Prince had a decent start to his first NHL season, scoring three goals and 12 points in 42 games, but wasn’t getting the significant ice-time he deserved in Ottawa and so the team flipped him to Brooklyn on Feb. 29, 2016.
When he came to the Islanders, Prince became the player that Ottawa thought he could eventually become as he scored just as many goals as he did with the Senators but in 22 fewer games.
