I know this thread is a poor attempt at being witty/snarky, but the comment "thanks isles" really isn't a fit and should be genuine.

It was a great trade for the isles and I would do again. Glad it worked out for both teams, hard to come across trades that both teams are happy with.

We would never have the team we have now with Grabovski's cap. Also having Vegas select Berube allowed us to keep Pelech & Mayfield which is huge right now. I look at is as trading a 1st & 2nd for pelech/mayfield and a cap dump.
