Um…yes @DaveBismo. But, again, it’s always easier looking in the rearview mirror.
The ones who deserve criticism are Minnesota and Hartford for passing both these guys up!

“We didn’t need another Trottier in ‘83 we had the original!” Boom @ArthurTorrey1!
Agree Rich. Both players are HOF’ers…sure Steve Y was great and had his longevity but Pat was a more dynamic a scorer early on with his speed and skill. We didn’t need another Trottier in ‘83 we had the original! Always loved Steve Y bc he’s wore 19 for Trots!

It truly broke his heart @IFANnetwork25. But it was the ultimate example of it being a business.
It was so sad to see Patty go but your dad turned the situation into gold!

Absolutely @IFANnetwork25. It’s so much fun looking back on all that transpired. The head fake story is absolutely true-between two best friends.
And Jimmy D wanted Patty for the Red Wings… Michigan boy and all that… but Bill took him…. And allegedly after head-faking that he wanted Brian Lawton who wound up going #1 for Minnesota. Lol. Gotta love these inside-hockey stories.

Sure…but think about what it’s like-not knowing-sitting in that chair in that moment, sifting through the stack of info and having to pull that lever…knowing 40 years later people be able to reflect and pass judgement @sforza_victor. The pick still holds up pretty well.
Torrey passed on Steve Yzerman in the 1983 draft taking Pat. Steve was the next Bryan trottier pat was Marcel dionne. You win with the trottiers.

An unbelievable day-and a remarkable trade @mikecommito
On this day in 1991, the Sabres acquired Pat LaFontaine, Randy Hillier, Randy Wood, and fourth-round drat pick from the Islanders in exchange for Pierre Turgeon, Uwe Krupp, Benoit Hogue, and Dave McLlwain #Hockey365 #LetsGoBuffalo

On this day in 1981, Mike Bossy became the first member of the Islanders to score 250 career goals. He did so in just his 315th career game #Hockey365 #Isles

A Blue Jays fan caught a Aaron Judge HR and proceeded to give the ball to a kid who’s a Judge fan in his section. Kid became so overwhelmed, he gave the stranger a hug ❤️

I remember him doing color on a bunch of early Islanders broadcasts. May his memory always be a blessing
