According to TSN.ca:
"The New York Islanders have acquired winger Richard Zednik from the Washington Capitals in exchange for a second-round draft pick in 2007."
Too bad... I'd have kept him over Zubrus every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Ah well. There's still plenty of time to move Zubie-doobie-doo before the deadline. Anyone looking for a utility 3rd liner who can play center and the wing? Anyone? Bueller?
The Capitals now have three picks in the first two rounds of the 2007 draft. Hopefully some of those picks will be packaged for an established player in the offseason.

Your comparison of Zednik to Zubrus is just ridiculous . . . you've lost me!
I happen to think more of Zednik as a player than Zubrus. That's all I'm saying.
as I said . . . simply ridiculous.
Hey, you're entitled to your opinion. It just happens to be wrong :-)
Let's see now . . . one player yields a 1st rounder and a 2nd line center, while the other yields a 2nd rounder.
Hmm. Case closed - your obviously right.
Take a look at their career stats and get back to me. And yes, I know Zubie had more defensive responsibility. But, at least in my mind, he still doesn't compare to Zed.

Position matters as much as anything in trades at the deadline. Zubrus played a more sought after position. What you get in return for a player in the trade deadline often has very little to do with a player's ability or talent. Trades this time of year are about filling needs, not a who's better than who head to head comparison.
Uh.Huh.
