Islanders got Sebastien Collberg along with the pick. He's got a lot of potential.

So Holmgren paid more for MacDonald, than the Habs paid for Vanek. Cool!

Homer just wanted to give PLindberg31 something to complain about.

Coots and Schenn and Laughton and the 1st-rounder(s) are still here... can't be mad about any of that.

A-Mac was predictable and getting something back for Mez was a minor miracle... not a bad TDL for them.

They gave up a 2nd and Mez for MacDonald. Thats not bad at all assuming they re-sign him.

I almost feel bad for islanders` fans.. That is a pretty rough return depending on what that prospectiis.

Off the top of anyone's head, do you remember what the details of the Moulson/Vanek trade was?

I'm on my phone and don't feel like looking it up

Yea. Definitely fits the mold of Islander draft picks. Lots of skill, needs to get stronger, weak defensively.

Islanders second will be 31-35. Flyers will be mid-40's or higher. So...I don't know.

Agreed -- surprised they kept the cap room, but at the same time, they clearly didn't like where prices were.

I said yesterday that I wouldn't have minded if they had done something to stabilize the Hockey IQ of the 3/4 lines, but at the same time, I'm not sad.

Getting a 3rd for an impending UFA who doesn't have a slot on your team is a good day

I thought I read on the Isles board that the 2nd was conditional.

Don't know if that's accurate, or what the condition is.

Montreal giving Collberg would be like us giving Laughton, if not more.

No. Collberg is more like Cousins. Collberg is not an especially good prospect. He's decent.

Well, Moulson wasn't comign back. If we (falsely) assume the 2nd cancel out, it's a 1st for a prospect. Still pretty bad.

So it turns out to be Moulson and an early first for Collberg
