Remember the 2020 trade deadline? The one where the New York Islanders acquired Jean-Gabriel Pageau from the Ottawa Senators? That wasn’t going to be the only big move the Islanders were going to pull off at that trade deadline.
There was a deal in the works with the Minnesota Wild to acquire future/current Islander Zach Parise. Let’s remember that failed deal now that the Isles have Parise (not yet confirmed by the team) for “free”.
