Mark Herrmann from Newsday:
Perhaps it's time for Islanders to trade for a veteran forward
Quote:
But the truth is, given the uncertainty over Frans Nielsen's health after a 4-0 loss to the Canucks at the Coliseum Sunday night, there is no guarantee the Islanders will have 12 healthy forwards to face the Coyotes Tuesday night.
Considering that there is no timetable for Kyle Okposo's return, that Mikhail Grabovski still is officially out indefinitely and that Casey Cizikas was traversing the corridor Sunday night in a protective boot, it might be time for the Islanders to think the unthinkable: about trading a prospect such as Griffin Reinhart or Ryan Pulock, both young defensemen.
