Monday marks Lou Lamoriello’s 32nd trade deadline as an NHL general manager.
And while the Islanders’ boss has completed 179 trades (according to nhltradetracker.com) during his tenure with the Devils, Maple Leafs and Islanders — pulling off his second trade with the Islanders when he acquired defenseman Andy Greene from the Devils this past Sunday — his percentage of blockbuster deadline deals is a small one.
His most recent deadline-day deal came with the Maple Leafs on March 1, 2017, when he sent Frankie Corrado to the Penguins for Eric Fehr, Steven Oleksy and a fourth-round pick after acquiring Brian Boyle from the Lightning two days earlier for Byron Froese and a second-round pick.
