I wouldn't expect Mallet to be anything more than a below average AHLer at the best. 3rd round pick is the better value of the two pieces Islanders received.

After picking Pokka at 34 (2nd rd) and MON taking Colberg just before that at 33, Isles didn't select again until 65 (3rd rd), so maybe like Isles were sniffing around at Mallet.
You guys got a budding superstar from us! A real hidden gem!
Well, actually, I guess I don't know for sure how that 3rd round pick will turn out. Anyway, Mallett has no NHL future.

Well it is good asset management... Pedan was a 3rd round pick so he got a 3rd round pick and a player back (Looked up the guy, not that impressed with his stats gonna have to talk to Rex about him)

Agree. He has good potential, but is a longshot to realize it.
He was behind Reinhart/Pulock/Pelech/Mayfield/Czuzman/Donovan, so it was doubtful he ever would have gotten a chance here.

but why?
He was on a contract, right?
HHhmmm...
Perhaps Garth wants to re-stock some draft picks?
Maybe Garth feels good about signing Boychuk and the Isles just have too many defensemen?
Beats the hell outta me.

2016 pick... If only it was one for this year because we do not have to many of those.

I like Pedan. At least I like the physicality he brings on the ice. I guess Mayfield is higher up on the depth chart and Mayfield will have a hard time cracking the Isles line up in the next couple of years.
I think the deal was done to get a draft pick back. I'm only assuming Mallet was a body Canucks wanted to dump and we had to take him in order to get the deal done.
I'm OK with it as I'm somewhat of a Canucks fan too.

I didn't realize Pedan was a 3rd rounder. I thought we picked him up in the 2nd. It makes a lot more sense now.

We have a glutton of AHL level defensemen. Pedan has been shifted up and down a lot. He's been in and out of the lineup for many different reasons.
It's simple, the Isles don't think he'll have a future here. We get a 3rd round pick we spent on him.

I would give Garth a B- on this trade.
-We had like no room down in BP constantly rotating defense men so they can get some games in
-Although Pedan is talented, he still has a long way to go. He has some good tangibleness though with his size and shot but is lacking in other important areas of the game
-Good asset management because Pedan was a 3rd round pick back in 2011, so Garth basically recoups the pick he used for him.
Overall, I can see Pedan being a solid #5, 6 guy if he develops. That is the question though if he develops into his potential.
The move makes more sense to me now because we have a ton of guys with ceilings like that in BP. Ok, but not really necessary trade.

Got the alert on my phone and got nervous another "vanek" all in type trade was made. This trade is just weird.

Very Interesting
When Pedan was drafted in the third round in 2011 he immediately became one of the Islanders best defensive prospects. What has happened since is a case of evolution in the stable of defensive prospects since, the development of CDH and Hamonic, the drafting of Reinhart, Pokka (traded for Leddy), Pelech, and in 2013 Pulock. There was really no room with the Islanders for Pedan, got back a third round 2016 pick to re-invest in going forward.
Trade seems to be more about getting the D prospects more playing time in Bridgeport while getting an equivalent pick back and picking up a lottery ticket that we can stash in the ECHL for now
