Too bad. I was thinking earlier in the week that with the Isles looking "ok" so far this season, and in their new home, that they would be a team looking to be a buyer even if they weren't a top team. If it was closer to the deadline, they could have been a good partner for us.

I think they paid a pretty hefty price. True that Moulson's stats are padded a little from playing with Tavares, but he is a pretty solid player in other aspects as well. Vanek should really do well with Tavares though.

Still, that first rounder could end up being a mid pick if the Isles disappoint like they have a knack for.

Regier is pretty good at pulling off these trades, but too bad he is obilvious when it comes to chemistry and signing free agents.
