These New York Islanders Players Are Listed as Being in High Demand at the NHL Trade Deadline
With the NHL trade deadline now less than two months away (including a 10 day break for the 4 Nations Faceoff), experts are compiling their lists of the most targeted players available around the league. Well, three members of the New York Islanders made the top 25 for this respected sports writer’s list. We break down the trio, why they’re on the list and one of them is even number one.
Plus, we discuss a change in strategy by Patrick Roy concerning the Islanders defensemen and how that’s potentially helping the team.
We weigh in on the frustrating cable TV blackout a lot of fans are dealing with as of January 1st.
And we have a full preview of tonight’s road game against the Vegas Golden Knights.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Good trade them all. Problem is senile Lou shouldn’t be the person doing it! Brock must be moved before the four countries tournament. Him and palms checked out weeks ago.
SELL SELL SELL.. This tdl may be one of the most important in isles history. With 29 top tdl bait and 21, 44 in tsn top 16 no reason for louzer not to maximize their value and move all three by deadline. Word is louzer asking price for 29, 21 is a first to start off with. 44? who knows since louzer blew a chance to move 44 for first last tdl. Better move 29, 21 asap since both are playing like they don't give a fk anymore and devaluing any deal for them. A move of all three without cap retainment would free up nearly $15 mil. from isles cap even tho to move 44 with one year left would require some salary retainment. Not a strong tdl list currently out there with t. hall, gourde next and a couple of sabres cozens and byrom in top 10. Louzer must navigate tdl properly and get isles future assets in picks, prospects, with cap relief to move forward. If louzer can't be trusted he needs to be locked away with no phone for six weeks. Scary as fk time not knowing if louzer can be trusted to do the right thing or if louzer can properly read the trade market. Call your bud guerin about 29 louzer and send 29 back home to minny. Send 21 back to nj so he doesn't have to leave home. Also what about 27 who is having a nice season and could have interest even tho contenders lack cap space to pick up that contract? No isle should be off-limits to trade except the untradable 18.
SELL NOW louzer. With habs and sens turning the corner and wings red hot with 5 straight w's isles road to playoffs is just about out of reach.
the Islanders have a chance to really improve this team if they get a couple of first rounders. We already have Cole Eiserman and Danny Nelson in our rights. i believe we can get the following players when we trade Brock, J G and Palm. For Brock we should get the likes of any of these players….Victor Eklund at 18 a left winger, Porter Martone 18 a R/W, or Lyden Lakovic 18 winger, for JG we should get a Caleb Desnoyers 18 at C, or Anton Frondell 17 is a C…For Palm we should get maybe Shane Vansaghi 18 R/W or Carter Bear 18 C L/W. We will not get top players like James Hagens or Michael Misa, but those other players are possible. Other players that are possible Cullen Potter 18 who can play C or winger, also try Roger McQueen 18 a winger. You need a D man try Radim Mrtka at 18 years old…..i know Lou will not listen to me, but this should be our plan…..Ty Gil
AGREE
Major change is needed, Brock and Palmeri would be step one in a long process.
I'm hoping Lou does the right thing at the trade deadline this year.
When you see bottom
6 players like Nick Dowd of the caps with 10 goals making 1.3 mill then look at our top 6 like Brock making 6 million with 10 goals and Bo with 12 goals making 8.5 you realize how bad islanders supposed stars really are! It is a disgrace!!! These are professionals? There are no excuses just lazy crooks collecting a paycheck! Trade as many as you can including Dobson! Watching the Caps vs Nucks game or other serious teams you realize how pathetic the Islanders are! It is beyond frustrating for fans!
If you get a 1 st or a second rd pick or a prospect for JG then do it! A first plus for Brock! A first for Palms ! Do it! Trade! I am trading Dobson as well! The Islanders must trade!!!!!!! Our top 6 is not clicking! Our bottom six are small, slow, no bite , can’t defend, can’t score …. Total overhaul needed! Pelech has a limited NTC after this season if he can be traded at the draft you had better do it! Time for a total retool! Great job as always Gil!
It is time for big changes ! Thanks Gil !
The determinant factor whether a teams rebuild will last 3 years vs 6 years is whether they are picking top 7 in the 1st rd. Whatever pucks the islanders get will be in the bottom of the 1st rd and whether a team can sign a tier 1 free agent. Players simply don't want to live on long Island
Consequently the islanders need Elias Petterson even if it means over paying for him
Getting him means we can do a rebuild in 3 yrs
Good 🌄, Gil, how are you? Trade rumors involving the Islanders are becoming more and more by the minute. I can't wait for the First Nations Tournament. JG Pageou has great skill sets, but he's still on the trade rumor mill. Kyle Palmieri. He's in the last year of his contract. Brock Nelson said he wants to explore free agency. This all depends on how the Islanders play in the next 6 weeks. Problem situations with Optimum and MSG Network. You're smart, Gil, for being Geneva in all this. Patrick Roy's right for telling his defensemen to shoot the puck more. He wants to 👀 more of this. The Islanders are in VGS. The team has been in the league for 8 years, and in that ⏲️, they've been in the playoffs every year, even going to the Final 2x winning the Stanley Cup in 2023. Another reason they're always winning is because the higher ups aren't afraid to SHOW THE PLAYERS THE 💰. HAPPY 🎂, KEVIN CZURCMAN. Hear from you later, Gil, and LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
