By all indications the New York Islanders GM, Garth Snow, is trying to improve the team between now and the February 26th, NHL Trade Deadline. That’s great but the price cannot be one where it hurts the organizations’ future.
Careful Buyers
Snow’s approach to the trade deadline must be where he is a careful buyer. Granted the Isles are currently the second wild-card team in the East (keep in mind other teams have played fewer games) but it’s a coin flip at best if they print playoff tickets.
But even if the blue and orange sneak into the playoffs does anyone believe they can beat a Tampa or a Washington in a seven-game series?
