The Jets are an excellent team worthy of an all-in approach. Who should be their ideal targets at the trade deadline?
When you turned on a New York Islanders game for the last six seasons, there were certain things you could count on reliably: hard work, effort, and a drive to win and fight tooth and nail for the playoffs.
The intrigue about Canucks centers J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson continues, while the Sabres' Dylan Cozens and Islanders' Brock Nelson remain in the rumor mill.
Nelson, 33, is a coveted acquisition for contenders looking to add immediate impact down the middle of the ice. He becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, so given the circumstances, Nelson's 12 years on Long Island are likely to come to an end by the March 7 trade deadline.
New York Islanders Center, Brock Nelson, could become the major domino in the trade deadline, which is now just 49 days away. On any other team in the NHL, I would say, pending a UFA of Nelson’s stature would be absolutely moved for a first-round draft pick and possibly more on March 7th.
The Dallas Stars have shown interest in trading for New York Islanders center Brock Nelson, according to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic. As the March 7 trade deadline approaches, Dallas finds itself in a favorable position to add a key player, thanks to potential cap flexibility from Tyler Seguin’s long-term injured reserve (LTIR) designation.
The Warroad, Minnesota native would be a perfect fit in the Wild's lineup as they currently have just one top tier centre with Marco Rossi filling in for the time being despite regularly playing at winger. The Wild have one of the ten best farm systems according to many sources and could provide more than enough to make a deal happen.
Brock Nelson’s current scoring drought reached 17 games Sunday, but Roy does not have to approach it the same way with No. 29. Nelson is not one to beat himself up, like Horvat, or get frustrated, like Mat Barzal. At least publicly, he is steady and optimistic, almost without fail.
Brock Nelson snapped a 17-game streak without a goal in the Islanders’ 4-0 win over the Golden Knights on Thursday night in Las Vegas.
The NHL is now 50 days away from the trade deadline. Not knowing what the impact of the Four Nations tournament will have on movement around the league, it might either be still on the early side to start going heavy into trade talk or just the right time to start making it a focus.
As the Islanders scuffle, the Spittin' Chiclets podcast spoke on Tuesday's podcast that the Minnesota Wild have an interest in acquiring forward Brock Nelson .
The Canucks have an interest in Islanders forward Brock Nelson, but there's a caveat. What are the Vancouver Canucks going to do with feuding forwards Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller?
