Over the last week the Islanders lost in overtime to the Canucks, came back in the third period to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins, and suffered a 5-2 loss to the flyers. The Islanders record is now 4-4-3. None of that though is as important as what happened on Sunday night. Thomas Vanek formally of the Buffalo Sabres was traded to the Islanders for Matt Moulsen and a couple future draft picks. Matt Moulsen was having a solid season for the Islanders with 9 points in 11 games, but the addition of Vanek will definitely be beneficial to the team. Vanek has 9 points as well this season so far and he is going to attempt to get that total up this season with the Islanders. He is a seasoned veteran and he has 497 career points in the NHL in 9 seasons. Below is a link with a report of the transaction from the team website.
