1st, Nilsson, and O'Marra?

Abysmal.

Garth Snow is terrible - Kevin Lowe would be a fool not to accept this deal.

you really think Garth Snow is making the trades?

you said so you yourself. A 1st = 2nd this year. Robert Nilsson is 22 and while he's scored at Bridgeport, he hasn't done anything at the NHL level yet. Omarra is not that highly touted. Smyth is still in his prime.

I wouldn't have done it, but this trade is not as lopsided as you think.

Smyth is on pace for 40 goals in 69 games this year. The isles are getting a proven goal scorer here.

Huh? You only get 20 games of Ryan Smyth. While a 1st isn't *that* valuable, the Islanders are in the middle of the 1st round where it is slightly more so. Robert Nilsson has struggled to make the NHL - fine. But you just can't deal all three of these assets for 20-30 games of Ryan Smyth, who while he is a top 10 LW in the league, has to get acquainted with his teammates right away. Unless the Islanders re-sign Smyth - it's senseless.

Oh, and the Islanders still need a defense.

The Isles D isn't bad, and Dipietro has been great. They'll be getting Martinek and Gervais back. The D looks patchwork, but they haven't played that way.

Obviously after a trade like this, you assume they're going to re sign him.

Look out - everyone's bracing themselves for the return of Martinek and Gervais.

Meanwhile when the Devils get Jason Wiemer and Alex Brooks back, the league's in trouble.
