***BREAKING***
sources are confirming that phoenix has moved rfa center pither and lw bennett for islander's goalie prospect graham and lw tedenby.
"the islanders do a good job of clearing a bit of a logjam at the goaltending position. they had two good prospects in pasquale and carrozzi, who are behind two young nhl goalies in bernier and marksrom. they deal from a position of strength to get an intriguing young player in bennett to help fill a mediocre left wing talent pool the islanders have."
"that's right, bennett has struggled so far in his nhl career, but is still young and has potential. how about phoenix addressing their goalie situation?"
"yeah, phoenix really only has one good goalie, prospect or otherwise, in their system and that's eddie lack. a good player, but they desperately needed someone else in the system."
"phoenix also moves pither, who couldn't resign with the coyotes due to their cap situation."
"yeah, phoenix really didn't need him, as they had six centers ahead of him on the depth chart. he had no future there. as you said, good young player, but really had no shot staying in phoenix."
"and on tedenby, it seems as though islanders management was shopping him. they didn't feel that he was producing enough and was being squeezed out. he has skill, and he's a good skater. maybe a change of scenery will bring out the tedenby we know is in there."
"alright, thanks for your thoughts on that trade gentlemen. word on the street is that the islanders are still looking to make some moves. stay tuned"
