Icon35 Islanders acquire Alex Goligoski from the Wild for Corey Perry

To the Islanders:

Alex Goligoski (73)
2018 3rd (FLA)

To the Wild:

Corey Perry (73)

Man, this was a tough trade to make. Grant and I have been discussing this over the course of about the last month and it finally came to fruition today. I was really, really hesitant to do this but in the end, we now have a top-3 on defense sporting three of the 25 best defensemen in the league and a top-4 featuring four of the top-50.

Losing Perry stings. With the trades of Parise and now Perry, my winger depth is now significantly depleted, and I'll be looking to deal from a position of strength soon to strengthen it. Nielsen and Letestu are both available.

Here are the Isles now.

Ovechkin (78) - Zajac (75) - Letestu (73)
Jokinen (71) - Hanzal (74) - Vanek (71)
Hartnell (69) - Nielsen (73) - Pominville (70)
Cracknell (64) - Ryan (67) - Nash (66)

Giordano (75) - Keith (75)
Goligoski (73) - Holden (71)
Scandella (66) - Wideman (66)

Anderson (78)
Johnson (71)

Thanks to Minnesota for the deal.

Couple ex-stars on the move again. good buy low on Perry, who i'd expect to have a bounce back year.

That's the idea. Perry is still too good a player not to have a more productive year.
Does open up a hole on my D though. So we'll be working to fill that.
