Jonathan Drouin, now with the St. Louis Blues, expressed his feelings about being traded for the Islanders, despite only being there for a few months. He was part of the deal that brought Brayden Schenn to the Islanders to shore up the salary cap impact. Despite his recent struggles with scoring, Druin said he enjoyed his time with the Islanders. He also praised their management and players, including Mathieu Darche and Patrick Roy. Since the trade was consummated, both Drouins and Schenan have interacted more than two players traded for each other.
