To Colorado: 2015 3rd round pick
To NYI: Danny Briere

Colorado lost Stastny for nothing, they can't do the same with Briere. Briere is not going to be resigned by the avs and they need to get something for him.

Islanders get a good playoff performer for a low risk trade if they go far in the playoffs. Briere could be a good 3rd liner for them especially if he resigns for less.

Trade does not work for the Islanders:

1) Briere is worth a 5th round pick at best
2) The Isles already have 6 guys that can play center, and better than Briere. Tavares, Nelson, Nielsen, Czizkas, Bailey, Strome
3) There is no room on the Isles roster for another forward, means they have to put someone on waivers, and there is not 1 player on the Isles that Briere would push off the roster
4) There is bad blood between Briere and the Isles from when he cross checked Frans Nielsen in the head while he was with Flyers.

You saw this trade on another site which was suggested by someone who write for a Ottawa newspaper who clearly does not understand what the Islanders need. The Isles need a veteran D-Man for their 3rd pairing, and if they can get it on the cheap a 1st line LW. There is no need for a washed up Briere who brings no value to them.

Did you really just compare Statsney to Briere?

Briere is garbage.
