The Boston Bruins have traded prospect center Ben Walter to the New York Islanders for center/right wing Petteri Nokelainen. The Islanders also received a conditional second round draft pick in 2009.
From BostonBruins.com:
I don't know anything about Petteri Nokelainen so I can't say if this is a bad deal or good deal. I know that Bruins management were high on Ben Walter, so to trade him, they must have received a pretty good player.
From BostonBruins.com:
"The 16th overall pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, Nokelainen appeared in 15 games for the Islanders during the 2005-2006 season, notching one goal and one assist. Prior to joining the Islanders, Nokelainen played for SaiPa Lappeenranta in his native Finland and tallied 20 goals in 94 games from 2002-2005. Last season in 60 games, the 6-1, 191 pound center had six goals and 10 assists for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL."
