Great move by the Habs. Vanek should fit in nicely there.
Good sized skilled player is more reward than risk based on what they traded away.
Habs fans should be quite happy.

This trade gets worse for the Islanders with every update.

Jeez I thought Paul Holmgren was the Costanza of NHL GMs, but clearly Snow is his superior. For his next move he will streak across the ice in a flesh colored bodysuit.

Best case scenario for the NYI:

Mid-1st round pick, Early 2nd round pick, 5th round pick, + Moulson

For

Collberg + Mid 2nd round pick



Worst case scenario for the NYI:

Top 3 pick, Early 2nd round pick, + Moulson

For

Collberg



That worst case scenario has a very real chance of happening.

Taking into account what Buffalo just traded Moulson for, the NYI essentially traded the value of:

Top 10 pick, 3 x 2nd round picks, 5th round pick

FOR

Collberg, 2nd round pick


One of the worst trades of all time.

And if Montreal misses the playoffs this year, it becomes:

Top 10 pick, 2 x 2nd round picks

FOR

Collberg

Their pick this year is top 10 protected. So they will be keeping it most likely. So the 1st rounder reverts to 2015.

We have no idea if their 2015 1st rounder will be a top 10 pick, none of us knows the future.

Correct. I just don't see the NYI getting out of the basement (bottom 10) next season either.

I'm pretty sure Snow's days are numbered. He might have gotten a stay of execution if he had flipped Vanek for something marginal, but this can't be enough to keep your job.

Isles are trying to spin Collberg as a player who should have gone in the 1st round in 2012 and therefore equivalent to a 1st round pick

Snow must have carried bodies out of the back of Benz's Wang to keep his job through all of this.

Wait...Wang's Benz? I dont know.

I've been arguing this point for a while now, but this is one of the few times that there's a direct comparison - there's no truth to the often-repeated idea that sellers can get more at the deadline than earlier in the season.

to be fair, he was ranked mid first round in some rankings. He's a nice prospect.

snow should be removed from any kind of management at the nhl level soon. He's taking a franchise that has been brutal for decades and somehow making them worse.

I feel bad for whatever fans they had left. What an epic failure this season has been, on basically every level, after last year's playoff berth, it's like 2 steps forward 5 steps back.
