Canucks, Islanders complete minor trade involving prospects

The Vancouver Canucks made a trade Tuesday afternoon sending prospect center Alexandre Mallet and a third-round draft pick in 2016 to the New York Islanders in exchange for defenseman Andrey Pedan.

Mallet, 22, is playing for the ECHL's Kalamazoo Wings, which will be great to name drop in a story for the grandkids one day. In 14 games he scored 11 points.

Pedan, 21, has played six games for the AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers, totaling three points. He previously played with the ECHL's Stockton Thunder for two games, scoring one point.
