POSTED: 5:58 pm EDT June 30, 2009

Newark, NJ -- (Sports Network) - The New Jersey Devils acquired center Ben Walter, and future considerations, from the New York Islanders in exchange for the rights to center Tony Romano on Tuesday.

The 25-year-old Walter, who was selected by Boston with the 160th overall pick in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, tallied 20 goals and 30 assists in 65 games with Bridgeport (AHL) last season. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound forward played in four games with the Islanders last year.

Romano, the 178th overall pick of the Devils in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, spent last season with Peterborough (OHL).
