Leafs and Islanders Swap

New York's 5th Overall Pick (Luke Schenn)

To New York I.
Toronto's 7th Overall Pick (traded to NAS)
Conditional Second and Third Round Picks

This was a quick rebuild move for the Leafs, getting one of the top players in the Draft. Schenn may not be able to step into the NHL right away, but he isn't far off. Possibly a good summer under his belt and the Leafs could have themselves a good defensive player, who will make the goaltending numbers a little bit better. Schenn isn't known as an offensive player, so don't jump on his bandwagon if you think he's going to score buckets of points in his first couple years.
