WHY?!? WHY?! WHY?!

8:30pm update: Ok, let me take a breath for a minute. Maybe this won't turn out too bad. We are stock piling some picks. Perhaps the Islanders go after C Cody Hodgson or C Zach Boychuk. I hope they don't go after Kyle Beach. I think the Isles may be looking at Josh Bailey as well. We have four second round picks.

I just don't understand why the Islanders would trade out of the top 5 for just two later picks!! Only the New York Islanders could screw this up. I just can't believe what they have just done. They handed Luke Schenn to Toronto and let Columbus skate away with Nikita Filatov. I just can't take it. This mess starts from the very top. Charles Wang will never get it. Only an unknowlegable person could orchestrate the complicated bad deal he just let Garth Snow pull off.

#5 for #7 and the Islanders choice of #60 this year and a third round pick or #68 this year and a second round pick in 2009.

Now the Islanders have just traded #7 to Nashville for #9 and #40. They are stock piling picks. But have the Islanders traded their chances of an impact player?

What are the odds we trade #9 now???
