TRADE: Devils & Islanders Complete One-for-One Deal

The New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders have completed a one-for-one swap as Tyce Thompson has been sent to the Isles in exchange for Arnaud Durandeau.

The minor deal gives both players a change of scenery and hopefully will spark some more action across the league. The American Thanksgiving holiday is normally a check point for a lot of teams and there's no doubt the chatter has picked up, just not so much the transactions.
