The Islanders have traded goaltender Mike Smith to the Panthers in exchange for forward Vasily Ponomarev.
I just don't like having guys on my roster who aren't playing anymore. Smith is rated very well but I figured I would rather have a future piece on my team.
Ponomarev is a recent second-round pick who showed pretty well in a big role on a deep Chicago Wolves team at the end of the AHL season. I believe I originally drafted him to Florida, as well. Glad to have him on my side now.
