Rumour: Mark Streit to Anaheim

According to Slapshot.ch, a Swizz hockey site, Islanders defenseman Mark Streit could become a Duck.

Google translate:




Changes to dispute Hiller Anaheim?

Changes NHL Star Mark Streit of the New York Islanders to the Anaheim Ducks? According to "20 minutes" makes this rumor is currently in Anaheim and New York round.

It is rumored that the 32-year-old defender is scheduled to change in a spectacular trade from the Islanders to the Ducks. Anaheim would be something like the Swiss NHL branch - the club from California are already Jonas Hiller (28) and Luca Sbisa (20 under) contract.

What does Mark Streit? "I hear the news but for the first time, rumors about a trade with Anaheim, but it has been at an earlier date once," he explains over 20 minutes. "I do not expect a trade and I assume that I return in late summer to New York. But in this business you never know, because you always have to reckon with everything."

Dispute is currently in Zurich, and prepares a daily basis with his personal trainer to the new NHL.

Hopefully there will come some good sources in English. Because it's hard to get much out of that translation.

A replacement for Niedermayer? Or just an upgrade on defense? If salary is shed among forwards there should be room under the salary cap for Streit even with Visnovsky and Niedermayer on the team. Mark Streit has three years remaining on his contract and has a cap hit of $4.1 million. The 32-year old had 49 points (11+38) in 82 games with the Islanders this season.

Kind of ironic. Only days ago a made a thread over on HFboards about Mark Streit's value in a trade to Anaheim.
