PostSportsPlus: Sliding Islanders can rebuild on the fly instead of tearing down — if Lou Lamoriello is willing
among five teams with a realistic chance to secure one of the two wild-card playoff spots, and with a disadvantage on games in hand. Even if they make it, the Bruins — who are 38-5-4 and playing at a record pace — would likely wait in the first round. Trading assets for a rental not guaranteed to return next season would be malpractice under those circumstances.
, has two seasons of team control beyond this one. Vancouver center Bo Horvat, who will be unrestricted this summer, does not. The Islanders should act accordingly. In 22 NHL games this season, Holmstrom has looked the part of an effective bottom-sixer with responsible two-way play. It is not so clear what Raty is yet, but this is a way of getting him consistent minutes;, and it is time to start moving on from the Identity Line, which had a 39.73 expected-goals percentage this season.
Martin and Clutterbuck are probably not going anywhere — the time to trade Clutterbuck was last season prior to signing him to an extension. Bailey is a career Islander with over 1,000 games played in the uniform, and Lamoriello is known for prizing loyalty. It’s hard to see Bailey being dealt, and with just 19 points this season, such a deal would likely be in the mold of a salary dump. Beauvillier also has just 19 points, but at 25 years old, has more trade value.
