Here’s how the betting markets reacted to the New York islanders trade for Bo Horvat.
season on Monday night, acquiring former Vancouver Canucks captain Bo Horvat for Anthony Beauvillier, Aatu Raty and a conditional first-round pick. Horvat’s name had been on the market all year, so it wasn’t a surprise he got dealt, but few people would have thought the Isles would be the team that landed perhaps the biggest name out there.
The Islanders are already deep at center and are far from a lock to make the playoffs, so there was plenty of skepticism about the Lou Lamoriello trading future assets for a player who will need a contract extension.21+.

For one, the betting market has been pretty sour on the Islanders all season. If you monitor the price on the Isles on a game-to-game basis, you’ll notice more often than not that money comes in against them. This trade could help change that sentiment eventually as it addresses the team’s most glaring need, but bettors will want to see results before they start believing that the Isles’ offensive woes are fixed.
But if they are fixed, even just by a bit, it could be a pretty big boost for Lane Lambert’s side. Thanks to their goaltending tandem, the Islanders are actually a top-10 team when it comes to five-on-five goal difference. The Isles’ +17 mark puts it just behind the Tampa Bay Lightning and ahead of playoff-bound teams such as the Rangers and Winnipeg Jets. In fact, the Islanders are the only team inside the top 10 in five-on-five goal difference that isn’t in a playoff spot right now.
