Good for both teams!

 

[Seachd]

One of the longest tenured players with a new team.

 

[smokes lets go]

zajac too? Thats such a solid vet to add, didnt realize he was also avalible.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I f***ing knew it Lou wasn't going to settle with just Palmieri. Didn't replace what Lee brought.

Zajac will have to play a new role but im sure he's happy to do whatever.

 

[Brodeur]

Good luck boys, go win a Cup!

Good trade for both teams. Congrats on NJ for getting a first and NYI for getting two solid players

 

[DaveG]

Zajac? damn that's crazy. Prettymuch everyone and their dog knew that Palmieri to NYI was going to happen but damn, Lou's not fooling around.

 

[Canucks LB]

Seems good for both teams?

 

[12ozPapa]

Steal for NYI in my opinion

 

[Sports2]

Wow.

 

[PromisedLand]

DAMN! That looks solid for both IMO

Trotz gets more of "his" kind of players to execute

 

[East Coast Icestyle]

Zajac in a different jersey is such an unsettling thought, but at least he will know the GM pretty well, eh?

 

[DerekDevils30]

Well, guess I’m an Islanders fan come playoff time. Would love nothing more than to see Zajac go on another deep run.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Went out and got the player the wanted and paid for him. Good job Islander's!

 

[sabresEH]

Really didn’t expect Zajac to get traded but who else would he go to other than the guy who drafted him and gave him his pay day.

Funny story, when Zajac was RFA, Lou was playing hard ball in negotiations. The night before(or maybe the week before) his arbitration hearing, Zajac’s agent had a meeting with Lou. He played him the presentation he had made for the hearing. Lou agreed to the contract after seeing it. Maybe not funny but I found it amusing when I heard it from a friend of the Zajac family.

 

[Budz]

Confirmed - buyers market.

 

[Nucks for the Cup]

Wonder what the condition is but seems really solid deal for Islanders

 

[hamzarocks]

Not sure how good Zajac is now but seems like a good deal for the isles if he can be a good defensive 3C

Barzal
Nelson
Pageau
Zajac
Cizikas

Thats a very strong center core

 

[LokiDog]

Islanders gearing up for a run. Both are good adds.

 

[Chardo]

Too bad they didn't throw in Patrik Elias...

 

[PWJunior]

Lou is not fooling around. Palmieri was expected, Zajac wasn't.

 

[VoidCreature]

Really emotional day for me. Go get a cup Travis.

 

[devils29]

Wow solid for both teams
