Weird trade by NYI. Quite a haul for Vancouver for a player who was clearly not going to be retained next year. Beauvillier is a good offensive player and the 1st round pick is a nice chips to build with. It's not like the Islanders are going to be a whole lot better next year, so if it slides it may still be a great pick. Raty isn't a bad throw in either.
Congratulations to Bo Horvat and the Horvat family. Vancouver is finally rid of another high character guy, so it's clear who is winning the dressing room battle.
