They have their sights set on Jake DeBrusk, a skilled winger from the Boston Bruins, who can immediately enhance their offense.
The potential retirement of Patrice Bergeron has sparked interest from the Bruins in Jean-Gabriel Pageau, a reliable two-way center, creating a potential match for a DeBrusk-Pageau trade.
DeBrusk's impressive goal-scoring record, with 27 and 25 goals in the past two seasons, makes him highly appealing to the Islanders. Despite becoming an unrestricted free agent next summer, acquiring him would address the Islanders' scoring needs and provide salary cap flexibility.
This trade could also pave the way for a contract extension for promising young forward Oliver Wahlstrom, ensuring long-term roster stability.
Islanders fans have high hopes for General Manager Lou Lamoriello to strengthen the team's chances of success by bolstering the offense and considering the salary cap.
