The New York Islanders just made a big move! Ondrej Palat, a 2026 3rd-round pick, and a 2027 6th-round pick are coming to Long Island for Maxim Tsyplakov. The Isles are adding playoff grit and making the most of their cap space. Thoughts on the trade?

This is a solid move imo, lots of upside here
Great trade cip wasn't doing anything for us and we had cip for another year
fantastic move. Darche has it goin on!! 💪
Love the deal
Very good move. Glad they got rid of stinklakov
Horrible trade for a 35 year old
Nice flip for some draft picks and locker room leadership. OP has won a couple of cups
Probably means Lee and Pageau not getting traded.
Darche gets back the 3rd rounder he gave up for Soucy, gets back a veteran in Palatt , and only loses Tsyplakov, who was a healthy scratch most nights. I can’t complain about these 2 deals.
I like IT ❤❤❤
I like it !!!
Solid trade i wish Tspy worked out for us. I loved him in the KHL
They did not overpay for Soucy
Palat has been terrible with NJ. Maybe a change in scenery will make a difference for him.
We needed this because Ondrej SUCKS
Palatt thrives in the playoffs! Soucy does make sense as a big guy somewhat physical defensive defenseman. We get what will likely be a higher 3 rd rd pick a 6 th and a guy who thrives in the playoffs! This is a good move.
