The Islanders have finished ahead of Winnipeg in 4 of the past 5 seasons, making the playoffs 3 times and getting to the second round once.
That's cute, "4 of the last 5 years". How about "Neither the Jets nor the Islanders made the playoffs last year.
Anyone looking objectively at either of the two teams can see that the Jets are a better team now with a much brighter future. The Islanders would have to become very active in the next while to make a case against that statement.
Calvin de Haan will not be traded unless the Islanders are way out of it... and even then, someone will offer more than a middling 2nd rounder for him.
You're probably right - he'll ride out this season to UFA and sign somewhere with a hope.
