New York Islanders reacquire Matt Martin from Toronto Maple Leafs

After spending the last two years over 450 miles apart, the New York Islanders have reunited the NHL’s best fourth line.

Matt Martin spent the last two seasons as a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs where his ice time was reduced by almost 20 percent and spent a large part of last season a healthy scratch, playing in only 50 games after playing in all 82 in 2016-17.

In the one-for-one trade, the Islanders sent Eamon McAdam to Toronto. McAdam was the Islanders’ third-round pick and spent last season going back and forth between the Islanders ECHL affiliate Worcester Railers and the AHL’s Bridgeport Sound Tigers.
