Isles make a big splash in the trade market today with the Phoenix Coyotes. Here are the details:

To Isles

Voracek (77, likely lower next year) @ 7.75M 2year deal
Smith (66, maybe higher next year?) @ 1.50M 3year deal

To Coyotes

Atkinson (68, should be higher next year) @ 1.75M 2year deal
M.Staal (71, about the same next year) @ 3.50M 3year deal

The Isles finally have another legitimate top line winger in Voracek. He is the best player in this deal, so I think we get the edge there.

On the contract side of things, the Yotes win this one. Atkinson is having a stellar year and is only 2pts behind Voracek so their ratings could be similar next year but with Voracek having a much higher salary. That means the Yotes will have an extra $6M to play with in order to keep their core together.

M.Staal also has a beauty contract for his rating, but Smith will likely re-rate for the same and will fill in admirably on our #5/6 spot.

Thanks again Flambers for the deal, it was fun back and forth.
