06/12/2013 13:32 Isles Trade Streit To Flyers
The Islanders traded Streit's rights to Philadelphia for a 4th round pick, according to Newsday's Arthur Staple.The Islanders weren't willing to meet Streit's contract demands at more than $5 million per season. They gambled that making the playoffs was more important than trading Streit at the deadline and that move doesn't look to have payed off.
Mark Streit is the glue to the Islanders defense. An underrated playmaker, he missed all of the 2010-11 campaign due to a freak shoulder injury in training camp but returned last year to post seven goals and 40 assists, numbers that could even be better this season. The Isles also may be able to pair him with Lubomir Visnovsky which should only help Streit as defenses can no longer key on him at the point on the power play. Streit is one of the league's most consistent offensive defensemen, averaging 53.5 points his last four seasons while topping out at 62 in 2007-08 with Montreal. He has 96 points the last two years with the Islanders. (Updated 8/14/12)
