Rene Bourque - Team looking to add scoring depth for the playoffs, he's pretty good there. Might not always help during the season so if you're gonna battle for a playoff spot, he might not be the best fit on your top 2 line. Top contender who struggled in recent playoffs to score goals might want to look into it.
Travis Moen - Good 4th line veteran grinder but we don't have a regular spot open for him anymore.
Brandon Prust - Will cost more than Moen but willing to listen to offers.
Peter Budaj or Dustin Tokarski - Would prefer to trade one of them since they both deserves to play in the NHL. Budaj is a great teammate and solid back up, Toks might have good potential.
Price, Subban and Galchenyuk are the only untouchable but I'm unlikely to do much in the trade area, planning to stay the course and be patient with the team. That being said, feel free to make offers (Plekanec, Emelin, Desharnais, Eller, Gorges).
Anders Lindback
Adam Pelech
We gave up a very solid prospect in Pelech here, but with the crowded blueline I felt it was a sacrifice worth making. Shores up our goaltending issue and gives Lindback a little less responsibility than just being "the man". We're hoping that with the lighter load, he performs better as an Islander in limited time than he ever did in Tampa.
UPDATE
We have made a major trade pending two NMC waive.
For now, we are willing to discuss trades involving the following players :
Sean Couturier for a young LW with top line upsides
Braydon Coburn for a top 6 forward
Matt Read for a top 4 defenseman
PM!
confirmACQUIRE GIORDANO AND GLENCROSS
The Philadelphia Flyers have traded forward Brayden Schenn, defenseman Luke Schenn and Philadelphia 2014 1st round pick to the Calgary Flames for defenseman Mark Giordano, forward Curtis Glencross and Calgary 2014 3rd round pick.
"It was a steep price to pay but we are thrilled to add Giordano and Glencross to our organization. We were looking to upgrade our defense and we consider Giordano as one of the most underrated top pairing defenseman in the NHL and he comes with a very reasonable contract. Glencross can play on every line you need him and he is the type of player you win with. Giordano and Glencross both bring leadership and will bring us to the next level. We expect to battle for the division title as soon as this season. We wish the Schenn brothers all the best in Calgary."
