It is not like the Flames prospect pool is junk. I don't know if there is a fit trade wise for the Islanders. If he really wants to be on Weatern Canada it hurts Snow's bargaining power and limits the return. I can easily see this stretching into the summer or at least the draft. I don't see teams trading the comparable player 1 for 1 so a package is likely what the islanders will have to settle on. That package needs to include a top 4 Dman but they won't get the comparable player they are looking for
