The New York Islanders have been one of the busiest teams on the trade market these last 10 months, and from the sounds of it, general manager Mathieu Darche isn't close to finished.

It's not often a GM makes two trades with rival teams, but it was obvious Darche ide...

The Artemi Panarin Sweepstakes are over, as we saw earlier this week, as the New York Rangers traded the pending UFA to the Los Angeles Kings . He then immediately signed a two-year extension with LA with an $11M AAV. We learned that on the morning of the trade, Panarin informed the Rangers that the Kings were the only team he would accept a trade to. But that doesn't mean that others didn't try. In fact, with a rich extension being one of his prerequisites for accepting a trade, there were fo...
