GOAL HEADING INTO DEADLINE:  With the injury to John Tavares virtually ending any playoff hope, the Isles were looking to hit a home run to make up for what they gave up for Thomas Vanek.  Also move other UFAs

WHAT THEY DID:

  • Dealt Andrew MacDonald to Philadelphia for 2 picks (2nd & 3rd) and a prospect
  • Traded Thomas Vanek to Montreal along with a conditional pick for a conditional 2nd round pick and Sebatien Collberg

WIN/LOSE/DRAW?:  For the assets they were dealing with, they didn’t get nearly enough.  The Vanek for Moulson trade looks even worse than it did Tuesday, and Garth Snow‘s job might be in jeopardy because of it.  A case of the Islanders being the Islanders.  LOSE
