Islanders' Brayden Schenn Trade Decision Comes Back to Haunt Them After Avalanche Elimination The New York Islanders' decision to trade away a valuable asset in the form of a draft pick to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for winger Brayden Schenn has come back to haunt them. The Blues, who received the pick in the 2017 trade, have now been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, but their draft pick is still on the board. With the Colorado Avalanche's elimination, the pick that the Islanders surrendered in the Schenn trade has officially been finalized, and it's likely to be a high one. The Islanders will have to live with the consequences of their decision, wondering what could have been if they had held onto that valuable draft pick.
