Icon35 Chara, Kovalchuk dealt to Edmonton

The New York Islanders and Edmonton Oilers completed a six-player, eight-piece trade today.


New York receives:

LW Ivan Morozov
RW MacKenzie Entwistle
C Jacob Forsbacka-Karlsson
C Tyler Motte
2021 2nd (EDM)
2020 5th (EDM)

Edmonton receives:

D Zdeno Chara
LW Ilya Kovalchuk


The Islanders are thrilled with this trade. We feel we have acquired tremendous assets for our players. However, the Islanders recognize that the two departing players will likely play great roles on a very good Edmonton team, which is going in a much different direction.

We haven't lost in regulation yet and we feel like we got a balanced team. However, quality veterans were lacking in the lineup and we feel we get that from Chara and Kovy. Chara will be the team's captain and Kovy will join Panarin to fill out as the assistants. The Oilers now shape up like this

Panarin-Zibanejad-Teravainen
Kovalchuk-Karlsson-Mantha
Bertuzzi-Horvat-Greenway
McGinn-White-Beauvillier
Bratt, Kempe, Cave

Parayko-Lindholm
Klingberg-Chara
Girard-Edmundson
Forbort, Seeler

Lehner
Grubauer

Motte wasn't ever going to have an impact as we had stronger depth players, but was a nice versatile option. Entwistle seems like a sure fire NHLer however I don't see him as more than a 3rd liner. Morozov is a project we don't know much about (although he was a 2nd rounder in 2018) and JFK is back home in Sweden and we are unsure of his future. Felt like we could get rid of our 2nd as we already have 2 others for the same year.

Thanks to Scorp for the deal
