The Islanders and the Oilers made a stunning trade on Tuesday, swapping two of the best players in the league for future assets. The Islanders, who are in last place in the Lifetimepool standings, decided to shake things up by acquiring Joe Pavelski and Alex Ovechkin from the Oilers, who are in sixth place and looking to rebuild. Pavelski, 39, is a veteran leader and a consistent scorer, with 20 goals and 49 points in 64 games this season. He has one more year left on his contract with a $7 million cap hit. Ovechkin, 38, is a legend and a goal machine, with 28 goals and 51 points in 58 games this season. He is in the final year of his contract with a $9.5 million cap hit. The Islanders are hoping that the addition of these two stars will spark their offense and help them climb out of the basement. The Oilers, on the other hand, are looking to the future and stockpiling draft picks and prospects. They received a 1st-round pick and a 3rd-round pick in the 2024 Lifetimepool Draft, as well as future considerations, which include a roster player by August 1, 2024. The trade deadline is on March 8 at 3 p.m. ET. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis on lifetimepool.com, the home of the best hockey pool in the world!
