cbj pass. we are not trading our picks away

Just think of it as a placeholder, only picked cbj cause there was a rumour of interest.

Not quite there for the Islanders. Mayfield & Varlamov should both be valued as worth a 1st, or a 2nd and a prospect. While those are all present in this trade, adding Mrazek *and* having the Islanders retain part of Varly's salary means Toronto has to add more than a 5th to even it out. Throw in another 2nd or a B-prospect and it's closer.

say I add kokkenen with the 5th, does that work?

personally i'd want to move further up the prospect ladder to a guy with middle-6 potential like Abramov or Steeves. Kokkonen projects out as a bottom pair guy so it's hard to really get excited about him.

Sources?

I believe it was david pagnotta of the fourth period.
