The two acquisitions made by the New York Islanders aren’t having the immediate impact fans thought they would, is that normal?
The New York Islanders made a big splash at the 2021 NHL trade deadline for the second year in a row. This year they sent a first in 2021, two ‘prospects’, and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2022 to get Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac from the New Jersey Devils.
