The New York Islanders traded Brian Rolston and Mike Mottau to the Boston Bruins for minor leaguers Yannick Riendeau and Marc Cantin.

The Islanders have traded the rights to prospect Jyri Niemi to the Rangers, who have signed him to an entry-level contract. Niemi's rights would have been relinquished if he hadn't signed before the 2010 draft.

According to multiple reports, the Islanders have traded Andy Sutton to Ottawa for at least a 2nd round pick.

Reports indicate the Islanders have claimed Rob Schremp off waivers, in a low-risk, potential-reward move.

The Islanders and Hurricanes traded non-entities, with old prospect Rob Hennigar going to Carolina for injury-interrupted prospect Bobby Hughes.
