Islanders Must Sit Out Trade Market After Jason Zucker Deal

Jason Zucker is a nice player. He would bring value to the New York Islanders. But for me, he wouldn't bring nearly enough value to match what the Penguins gave to acquire him.

My issue isn't with the player, but with the value.

If that is the value being placed on players in this year's trade deadline then it's a great big 'no thank you' from me, and I hope Lou Lamoriello and team follow suit.

Yesterday Mitch outlined what it would have taken for the Isles to match the deal and suggested they should have.
