Islanders Anxiety - Episode 135 - Breaking News, Trading Toews

Mike & Dan interrupt themselves to discuss the breaking trade of Devon Toews to the Avalanche, then travel back in time to cover the first few days of NHL free agency. They try to make sense of the deal and what the return could mean for future deals that would help the Islanders out of their precarious salary cap situation.

They also discuss the (now finalized) acquisition of goalie Cory Schneider and a possible trade of Johnny Boychuk, while taking an wide overview of a very vanilla free agent class and NHL teams making moves without actually improving.
