Lou Lamoriello says he’s very comfortable with his roster as presently constituted.

Which is not to say the Islanders president and general manager is definitely done dealing before Monday’s trade deadline.

There’s still approximately $3 million left in salary cap space and the always-pressing need to strengthen the defense depth in case of injury, though two potential targets went elsewhere on Saturday.

The wily Lamoriello could still even be looking to bring in more depth up front after acquiring Kyle Palmieri and Travis Zajac from the Devils on Wednesday at the cost of a first-round pick this year, a conditional fourth-round pick in 2022 and minor-leaguers A.
