There have been plenty of NHL defensemen placed on waivers, but why did the Islanders choose Carson Soucy over them?
Soon after the New York Islanders win against the Philadelphia Flyers, it was announced that the squad had acquired Carson Soucy from the New York Rangers in exchange for a third round pick in 2026.
Yes, the Islanders needed a third pair, left defensemen, but there were other opportunities to acquire players off of waivers and the one that’s comparable to Soucy the most is Yegor Zamula.
