Thus, one of the team’s leaders, forward Brock Nelson, would be of interest to several teams contending for the Stanley Cup, including the Minnesota Wild, according to information from Frank Seravalli, of the Daily Faceoff site.
Even though he is having a season below his standards (21 points in 40 games), Nelson has playoff experience. He notably reached the Eastern Conference final twice with the Islanders in 2020 and 2021.
Anyone who has scored at least 30 goals in each of their last three seasons will see their contract, worth $6 million per year, end at the end of this campaign.
In his career, he amassed 285 goals and 267 assists for 552 points in 880 games, all played with the Islanders. He was drafted by the team at 30e level of the National Hockey League amateur auction in 2010.
Patrick Roy’s men are currently at 15e and second-to-last in the East with a 15-18-7 record.
