It had been a quiet week in the NHL up until yesterday. Half of the teams are out on their bye-week leading up to the All-Star Break this weekend. The other half, which includes the Maple Leafs, will get their bye-week after the ASG, so tomorrow’s Leafs game will be the last for about nine days. More on that here:

The sleepy schedule and lack of news was all shaken up yesterday by the Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello finally striking a deal, and it was a big one.

[Islanders acquire Horvat from Canucks for Beauvillier, Raty and protected first - Lighthouse Hockey](https://www.lighthousehockey.com/2023/1/30/23576740/the-beau-for-bo-islanders-acquire-bo-horvat-from-canucks-anthony-beauvillier-aatu-raty-first-rounder?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)  
The news broke early evening and so it’s still being fully digested, but shuffling around a team captain and a first round draft pick is always going to generate debate about “who won the trade.”

But take a moment to pour one out for Bo Horvat.

Another nugget of information came out later in the evening:

> Lamoriello announces on media call that the Canucks retained 25 percent of Horvat's cap hit/salary

There’s a poll at the end to vote on who won. The Trade Deadline is March 3rd.

#### Other News

Before the All-Star Game there will be an Alumni game featuring ex-NHL players that I assume either live nearby (probably in West Palm), or simply have nothing better to do.

Many parents with kids in sports programs might be under the impression safe sport in Canada is a well-funded, well-organized effort. But a CBC investigation reveals the opposite, with a growing number of officials saying the system is unable to properly protect children.
