The one who didn't bolt come free agency.

Islander fans can tell me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that beyond 2002, Yashin was often accused of low effort level?

The one who didn't bolt come free agency.

So neither?

So neither?

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but didn't Yashin finish off his career with NYI?

Neither "is", Tavares "was".

 

[Silky mitts]

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but didn't Yashin finish off his career with NYI?

Went to KHL at 33 but I forgot that they bought him out, so at least Tavares was in demand when he left
Yashin buyout finally off the books

Yashin was a hell of a player at his best (well, in the regular season) when he actually tried, but he was such a headcase and a terrible Captain. How the hell did he wear the C for two franchises?
