On the Wisniewski trade.
Checking in from the vacation trail to report, as I'm sure you already know, that James Wisniewski has been traded to the New York Islanders for a third-round draft pick in 2011.
At a glance, it's not obvious how this fits into Bob Murray's plans to rebuild a young, thin defense. Expect some more moves in the coming days or weeks. Among their current blueline corps, only Lubomir Visnovsky, Toni Lydman and Sheldon Brookbank have spent a full season in the NHL.
