New York Islanders: Mark Stone Is Worth Four Pieces in Trade

Earlier today we saw the Columbus Blue Jackets send four pieces to the Ottawa Senators for Matt Duchene. A deal the New York Islanders could have matched easily, but didn’t. Either they didn’t want to or didn’t know they had the option.

Either way, four pieces is a lot for any player. But the Ottawa Senators still have forward Mark Stone on the trade block, and it seems they want four pieces for him too. The New York Islanders shouldn’t think twice about making that trade.

He might be under an expiring deal, but Mark Stone is the one player in this trade deadline class that is worth the risk of trading pieces away if there’s even a remote possibility of getting him to sign a huge extension.
