It looks like the New York Islanders have found their new left-hand defenseman to round out the blueline. With Zdeno Chara back on the Island after being traded away 20 years ago, it looks like the team has three solid defensive pairs.
At 44, there could very well be some ‘load management’ with Chara. He certainly won’t play more than 20 minutes a night, he might not play every day either. But if he plays just over half the season (43+ games) he could break an NHL record.

That record is for the most NHL games played by a defenseman.
