Islanders Send Rourke, Pick to Edmonton For 2nd Round Pick

The Islanders have acquired Edmonton's second round pick in the 2008 NHL draft by trading depth defenseman Allan Rourke and a 2008 third round pick to the Oilers. The Islanders now have two second round picks in what is expected to be a deep draft in June, 2008.

"Although it may seem a relatively small deal from a players' standpoint, this is very good news for us," said Islanders assistant GM/Director of Amateur Scouting Ryan Jankowski. "Next year is expected to be a stronger and deeper draft than the past few years. In this draft, you can never have enough early picks."

Rourke sucks. Always will be remembered for gloving the puck into our own net in 1-0 loss to the Devils. Or at least that's all I remember him ever doing on the ice.

Bad trade for the Oilers IMO. You don't give up a 2nd round pick for an AHL defenseman.

The Islanders actually have 3 second round picks next season, not 2.
