Gord Stellick: “So, got to say, great work by you as well. You had just a few trades you broke, but we are able to say, looking back on it as a refreshing change. It was all the pieces as advertised, the entire process. I mean, the Buffalo-Ottawa had an actual hockey trade, identical to Calgary and Philadelphia did 10 days ago. So we actually got quite a bit. We actually got quite a lot of all the pieces, including an elite player being traded twice in (Mikko) Rantanen.”

Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello Should Have Done More on the Deadline

Dave Pagnotta: “Yeah, yeah, this was, this was an interesting and entertaining deadline, definitely. And the massive deal, such as you said, in Rantanen. The surprise deal in (Brad) Marchand. The hockey trade that we’ve all been waiting for (Dylan) Cozens, (Josh) Norris, there was quite a lot of fireworks. It definitely lived as much as the hype we had talked about this, the weeks leading as much as it like, are we going to see a trickle effect?

And we see just a few coming in. Is deadline day going to be lively and busy? It was. It was an entertaining day. And things were unfolded as well. Wasn’t the mad dash towards the top, in the ultimate hour. We had the Cozens deal was 11 o’clock. Then we began to see just a little bit more coming in, and teams addressed needs.

Colorado the night before getting (Brock) Nelson, after which pulling off the (Charlie) Coyle deal for (Casey) Mittelstadt. That was one which addressed needs for each side as well. Wanting to have a change on the dot position for each teams. Boston is getting someone that they feel that I believe he’s 26, that may gel and grow with the group they’ve got in Boston as they’re going through their retool. So definitely, quite a lot of entertaining storylines that got here out of it and more to come back, right?

Just like the Islanders decided to carry onto (Kyle) Palmieri and I imagine there’s a, there’s an extension; just about there agreed to in principle. So that they’ll figure all that out. But Lou Lamoriello on Saturday acknowledging that there’s going to be more changes coming in the summertime.
