New York Islanders Top Unrestricted Free Agent Targets

Related Topics: New York Islanders

The New York Islanders added a big name winger with a trade for Jordan Eberle. But that still leaves a second line center position they need to fill.

Since the departure of Frans Nielsen in the 2016 Free Agency frenzy, the Islanders have been looking for that number two center.

They tried Ryan Strome at that position. It didn’t work out, and he’s now in Edmonton thanks to that Eberle trade. They tried Brock Nelson at center and it didn’t work that well either. At this point, it’s clear that Brock is a good marauding winger.

That’s not a knock.
