Although interested, the New York Islanders have their doubts about signing Patrik Laine after his adversity-filled time with the Montreal Canadiens.

One player they took a shot at is a star who has waned in recent years, as Patrik Laine suffered through injuries and a short stint in the NHL/NHLPA Players Assistance Program while still a Columbus Blue Jackets player. Laine, originally a 2nd overall pick in 2015, is a sniper and has played 537 games in t...
Virtually every team on the planet has a mascot. They usually have the role of being an ambassador for the team while entertaining fans, but mascots are usually in a one-to-one relationship with a team. Rarely do we see mascots moving between teams, but there have been a handful who have made the transition from one team to another like Youppi! in Montreal and Sparky the Dragon on Long Island. There is one mascot in hockey, however, who has worked for a number of teams in his career, and one o...
