The silence has been conspicuous. Free agency began three weeks ago, and while most of the NHL retires to the beach for August, Nazem Kadri — one of the marquee names of the summer — remains unsigned.
In a stricter hockey sense, though, it’s more complicated. Kadri, a center who plays with an edge, scored a career-best 87 points with the Avalanche last season, would instantly make the Islanders better. He will also turn 32 in October, however, is looking for a longer-term deal and plays a position at which the Islanders are pretty much set. NHLI via Getty Images
If such a scenario were to come to pass, Jean-Gabriel Pageau would make sense on paper as a trade chip, because dealing him would solve the logjam at center while clearing $5 million. Mathew Barzal, Brock Nelson and Kadri as the team’s top three centers would be formidable. But such things are never that easy.
The next two players who might logically be traded would be Josh Bailey and Anthony Beauvillier. Both come with their own sets of concerns. Bailey is seven games away from his 1,000th contest as an Islander, and it’s hard to know whether that will factor into any calculation of a deal. Beauvillier is seven years younger than Kadri, and trading him would sacrifice youth.
