2012 4th Round Draft Pick

On Wednesday night, the Islanders were able to get back what they risked on trying to sign Christian Ehrhoff to a deal, by acquiring a 4th round pick from the Buffalo Sabres. The Islanders were unable to persuade Ehrhoff to sign, so they were able to deal his rights to a team that wants their own shot before unrestricted free agency hits. That's about all that is.

Conditional 2012 Draft Pick

The Sabres already acquired Robyn Regehr, trying to sign Christian Ehrhoff, so that leaves Steve Montador available for the picking at the moment and the Chicago Blackhawks came calling, offering a conditional late round pick for the rights to the defenseman. If the Blackhawks are able to sign Montador, the pick will likely be a 7th rounder in 2012 or else it will be a 7th rounder in 2013.
