Islanders Lou Lamoriello has to be aggressive at trade deadline

Clearly, the New York Islanders can play with anyone. But to make a playoff run this Spring, Lou Lamoriello has to add a significant piece.

The Islanders are in a position where they are "go for launch" to get a significant trade done. They have all of their draft picks and they have a good prospect pool to draw from.

If Lamoriello wants the Isles to have a realistic chance of going on a lengthy playoff run he has to add another high quality forward to the lineup. Clearly, there is a need at center, as well as another offensive forward.
