  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garret.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: All right, Alex Gattier back in with Lou Termoilo for
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Termielo's take, and boy, oh boy a moment today as
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: on the heels of the NHL draft, Your Islanders make
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: a big move. Tell us what happened today, louis the.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: New York Islanders and Matthew darsh made his first big
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: move Aslinole's general manager today. They had been rumors that
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: they may not sign Dobson, who was looking for eleven
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: million dollars a year and he didn't get that, but
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: they decided to trade him and big risk. I think
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: getting rid of Noah Doopson, a right hand shooting defenseman
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: with skill, an excellent skater who's only twenty five years old,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: who two years ago had seventy points is risky, so
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: we'll see. Allegedly was looking for eleven he signed for
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: eight years with Montreal for nine point five. If the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Islanders want to contend next year, they didn't show that
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: today by trading one of their best players in nowhere
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: adopts in the prime of his career.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: So what are the Islanders getting back in this tree?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Well, the Islanders, as we said, they traded no adoption
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to Montreal, who immediately signed an eight year deal at
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: nine point five a year with the Montreal Canadians. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be good Montreal. They were up and coming
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: team last year and a right hand skating, shooting defenseman
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: with a high skill set is going to be an
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: asset for Montreal. The Islanders got the sixteenth and seventeenth
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: picked tonight, so they'll have the back to back picks
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: in the first round. And they got Eric Heineman, who
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: was a left wing players rookie gear last year Montreal.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: In sixty six games, he scored ten goals at eight assists,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: but he's six to two hundred pounds. His claim to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: fame Alex was when Montreal was playing Utah in Salt
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Lake City, he got hit by a car and he
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: missed three to four weeks. But again, he's a guy
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that they're probably looking to fill in on the bottom six.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know much about him, so we'll see what
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: happens there now. You know.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: The other interesting thing is that I was reading this
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the other day. That is why I got to read
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the newspaper still, because as much scrolling as I do,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't know this until I read it in the newspaper.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Matt Martin retired this week?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Is that right? Yes, he did, and he's going to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: be a special advisor to the new general manager, Matthew Dartch.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And I think, hey, you know, he's a natural, he's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a hockey lifer, and he was a very good Islander.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: You know, he played all but two of his years
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: with the Island in the island, So he's one of
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: those guys Wo's gonna be with the Islands forever unless
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: he gets a job as a general manager somewhere else.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: And you know, like the Islanders have to get back
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to having a little grit and determination and as they
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: use a hockey term, they have to have some jam
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: like they had when Barry Trotz got them to the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Stanley Cup semifinals two years in a row. So it's
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: gonna be interesting to see if they go after more
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of those guys. I mean, if they were closer to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a title and they're not. A guy like Brad mar
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Shant would be perfect. But he's thirty seven years old
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna go to a team if he doesn't
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: resign with the Florida Panthers that have a chance to
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: win the Cup and their defenseman of the future, the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: excellent skating left handed shooter defenseman from the Erie odas
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Matthew Schaeffer.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Mom, Jennifer, so yeah, Oh.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: It's I mean, and the kid is very mature. He
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: brings up his mom a lot in interviews, and he's
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: only seventeen, Alex, and he's a fantastic skater. He could
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: pick up he could pick up the punk at one
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: end of the of the ice and take it to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the other. And nobody's done that on a consistent basis
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: since the greatest defenseman of all time, Bobby Orr back
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: in the seventies.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Pretty high praise for Matthew Shafer coming from lifelong Islander
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: fan and our industry expert and executive Lou Terminello. Thank you, Lou,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and we'll have you back on in the coming days
