Looking ahead to the expansion draft, the New York Islanders have a similar situation with one of their players that they faced in the 2017 offseason.

The year was 2017 and the Vegas Golden Knights were ready to make their selections in their expansion draft. All New York Islanders fans were curious on who Vegas was going to steal from the Islanders, but the Islanders decided to make an interesting trade with Vegas involving a player who was probably not going to play in the NHL again due to an injury.
