The New York Islanders have traded Devon Toews to the Colorado Avalanche. Here are three takeaways from the trade.
After six years in the organization, most of it spent in the minors, the New York Islanders have traded Devon Toews to the Colorado Avalanche for two second-round picks (one in 2021 and the other in 2022, both owned by Colorado). The Islanders needed to make cap space and this should allow them to do so.
Toews got his break after being called up to the NHL in 2018-19 when Thomas Hickey was sidelined with an injury.
