Report: Islanders exploring possible move from Brooklyn to Queens

The New York Islanders just completed their first season at Barclays Center after moving to Brooklyn from Long Island, but according to a report, they may already be looking for a way out.

Bloomberg.com's Scott Soshnick reports that Jonathan Ledecky and Scott Malkin, the owners of the Islanders -- having just assumed majority control from Charles Wang on July 1 -- are exploring an opportunity to move into a new arena in Queens. According to the report, the Islanders have been discussing this for "months" with the New York Mets' ownership group on the project. The arena could potentially be built adjacent to Citi Field.
