Isles Trying Hard To Deal Vanek By Tomorrow

According to reports, the Islanders are trying hard to trade Thomas Vanek by tomorrow afternoon's Olympic roster freeze.

ESPN's Pierre Lebrun reports that we are looking to get a "three asset haul" in return for Vanek.

The LA Kings and the division rival Penguins have been two teams floated out there by various analysts as teams that could make a play for Vanek.  With LA also interested in Sam Gagner one has to wonder how that would effect the market for Vanek.
