Uniondale, NY It was announced late Monday afternoon that the New York Islanders acquired winger Patrick Sharp from the Chicago Blackhawks. Going to Chicago is Frans Nielsen, and prospects Jason Gregoire, Anders Nilsson, and Blake Kessel. The Islanders also received Colin Fraser, and the Blackhawks received a 5th round pick in 2011.
"It was really hard to give up Franzy," Isles GM IR4 said in a conference call following the trade. "But we felt we needed a veteran winger to play in our top 6. Sharp can put up 60-70 points a year, and we feel pairing him with Tavares will have them benefit from each other. We wish Frans the best of luck in Chicago, where he is a good fit. We're also excited to add a bit of grit to our bottom 6 in Colin Fraser."
In addition, the Islanders re-signed RFAs Matt Moulson and Rob Schremp to 1 year deals.
I need a god damn goalie.
holy ****. I forgot that I made that trade. I traded Rathje to Boston.

Well Mister way to steal my picture. Remember you had your own picture for that?
I'm waaaayyy over her.
The rights to Ilya Kovalchuk have been traded to the Boston Bruins. In return, Boston sent a conditional 2nd round pick to NJ as well as its 4th round pick. The condition is the pick will be Boston's 2nd if Kovalchuk does not re-sign, and will be Toronto's 2nd round pick if Kovalchuk does.
We thank Ilya for his service.
