Islanders 2019-20 player grade: Devon Toews didn't have the same impact

It's easy to forget that the 2019-20 season was supposed to be Devon Toews's first full season in the NHL for the New York Islanders. His debut in 2018-19 didn't happen until nearly mid-way through the season.

Called up from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL to fill in on an injured blue line, Toews took the opportunity and ran with it. He immediately proved that he belonged in the NHL and quickly pushed his way up the Islanders depth chart.

Toews showed he's a great puck-moving D and had great offensive upside with his performance in year one.
