13 Days to NHL Trade Deadline: New York Islanders Must Keep Eye on Next Year
The Feb. 27 NHL trade deadline is now under two weeks away, and while there's been no movement yet, teams are quite busy outlining their options, gameplanning different scenarios. For the Islanders, that means continuing to send signals -- for now -- to the locker room that they are in a playoff...
Islanders Bits: Coliseum Talk, Rental Defensemen, Hot Sound Tigers
You probably know by now -- it was hinted last night and discussed in our a.m. thread -- that the Islanders have recalled Ty Wishart and returned Rhett Rakshani to Bridgeport. With the two-game road trip through the continent's windswept plains this provides some blueline insurance at worst, and at...
Danish Extension of Merriment: Frans Nielsen Agrees to 4-Years, $11 Million
Frans Nielsen has agreed to a four-year, $11 million contract extension with the New York Islanders. Word filtered out as the Islanders were getting ready to take on the Flyers in Philadelphia. TSN's Bob McKenzie broke the news, then followed up with the yearly breakdown: $2.75 million cap hit,...
In Which Garth Snow Chirps Cornell Alum Gary Bettman; Doug Weight Talks Transition
New York Islanders GM Garth Snow was Gary Bettman's guest on NHL Live Thursday night answering questions from the commissioner and co-host E.J. Hradek. As far as public appearances in guarded on-air mode go, these are usually decent interactions with Bettman since the length of the interviews...

The full video is now available (and embedded below) from today's "GM Show," where Islanders GM Garth Snow fielded questions from fans relayed by radio play-by-play man Chris King. It's funny, a lot of fans act like decent questions never get through the PR filter, but a decent amount of probing...

The list of NHL players exposed to waivers this month has thus far largely consisted of has-been, never-was, never-heard-of-him and don't-want-him, leading the careful observer to a mixture of meh, ennui and narcolepsy with cataplexy. As of yet there are no Michael Grabners -- not even the pre-"OMG...
Officially: John Tavares Inks 6-Year Extension With Islanders
It's official now. So how does this sound: "I’m thrilled to show the organization and loyal Islanders fans that I want nothing more than to win on Long Island." Pretty sure the feeling is mutual. "Charles and Garth have both shown a tremendous amount of loyalty towards me, and I look...
This is the John Tavares Contract Extension You Were Looking For
Well, that erupted quickly. From a Newsday report last night (riffed on by us here, in honor of the loveliest Toronto columnists) to a media advisory at mid-day today about a press conference Thursday at 1 p.m. EDT, to all your finest media and cheeses quickly digging up the numbers for all to...
Alternate Islanders Picks: They coulda drafted *that* guy?
Historians debate the date, but most peg the New York Islanders rebuild beginning at the 2008 draft.
