The very hectic 2020 trade deadline has come and gone, and the New York Islanders have finally done some good work. Historically, they have been one of the quietest teams around this time of year, so the fact that they made acquisitions this time around gave their fans a breath of fresh air.
On Feb. 16, the Islanders acquired defenseman Andy Greene from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for young defenseman David Quenneville and a 2021 second-round draft pick.
Yes, there were critics. Giving up Quenneville, who is a 21-year-old, wasn’t a big deal since he’s been disappointing in the ECHL and the AHL.
