While we still wait for Islanders hockey to return, I find my mind wandering to the future. Yes, I'm still worried about how this team finishes the rest of the season, I'm begging on my hands and knees for Lou Lamoriello to make a trade.
At the same time, I can't help but look at the end of the season, when the Islanders have three important RFA deals to take care of.
We're 49 games through the season, a reasonable sample size for each player to make a prediction on what their next contract is going to be.
