Isles-Wings Deal

[HelloHockeyFans]

Sources have confirmed a late Wednesday trade in the CPHL between the Detroit Red Wings and the New York Islanders.

The two teams swapped right wingers late Wednesday night as Marek Svatos moves over to Detroit in exchange for Antoine Vermette.

The deal is believed to be a "shake-up" move as neither wingers have met expectations on their respective teams.

Svatos has 2 goals, 4 assists thus far playing on the Islanders' 2nd line with Ryan Getzlaf and Jiri Hudler.

Vermette has 1 goal, 2 assists spending most of his time on Detroit's 3rd line with Vernon Fiddler and Erik Christensen.

Two players the same age that have had fairly similar careers so far in the NHL. A lot of hope that Svatos can find some of that magic from his rookie year. As for Vermette, he could turn into the better player but as long as he is on a line with Chris Neil and getting no power play minutes for the Sens. This deal took all of 1 minute maybe two to make as Noob had to run and ask his mother for some advice first.

Another even deal imo, sure nice to see teams making trades that have both teams getting good players.

Yep looks pretty even to me, both have their own question marks which makes for a nice deal. Good job guys!
