Michal Neuvirth Trade Gives Islanders Much-Needed Goalie Depth for Playoff Run
Entering the trade deadline, the New York Islanders were not expected to make much of a splash. It’s not that they weren’t believed to be interested in finding upgrades; after all, the Isles sit fifth overall in the NHL standings and are a legitimate playoff threat. The problem was that moves earlier in the season which added defensemen Johnny Boychuk and Nick Leddy left the team critically short on trading chips.
Despite those disadvantages, general manager Garth Snow found a way to make his team better.
For the cost of a third-round draft pick, he not only managed to dispose of Johnson but at the same time added a goaltender who can do far more than just provide effective relief. Michal Neuvirth is a very good bet in a backup role, and it’s not outside the realm of possibility that he even unseats Halak as starter.
The Islanders: "Tank you very much Buffalo".
