You are so bad 7 when you never said a thing about Frans and KO's vagina injuries.

NEW YORK ISLANDERS (23-18-10, 56 points)



Where they stand: Sixth place in Metropolitan Division, three points behind Philadelphia Flyers for second wild card in Eastern Conference

What they need: Forward depth

Pending UFAs: C/RW Stephen Gionta, D Dennis Seidenberg

Pending RFAs: D Calvin de Haan, D Adam Pelech, G Jean-Francois Berube

Projected cap space at deadline: $7 million

Current contracts: 44 of 50

2017 NHL Draft selections: 5 (1, 2, 3, 5, 7)

Potential targets: C Martin Hanzal, Arizona Coyotes; LW/RW Thomas Vanek, Detroit Red Wings; RW Radim Vrbata, Arizona Coyotes

Potential assets: Seidenberg, G Jaroslav Halak, Berube

Biggest trade chip: C Ryan Strome, selected with the fifth pick in the 2011 draft, has yet to follow up on a breakout 2014-15 season when he had 17 goals and 50 points. It might be time for the Islanders to see what they can get for him and get some help for center John Tavares.

2016 deadline: The Islanders made two depth trades last year, adding forwards Shane Prince and Marc-Andre Cliche, as well as a seventh-round pick, and giving up forward Taylor Beck and a third-round pick.

GM's deadline track record: GM Garth Snow last made a big splash at the deadline in 2007 when he acquired forward Ryan Smyth from the Edmonton Oilers to help for the playoff push. With new owners Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky looking over Snow's shoulder following the firing of coach Jack Capuano on Jan. 17, there might be more pressure on him to qualify for the playoffs this season

Thanks Upstate! They left out Hickey and de Haan as potential assets. Vanek coming back would be funny. Isles need two way forwards. Not big splashes at the deadline since 2007.

Vanek said he couldn't handle playing in Brooklyn. And like you said, ses, the Isles need 2-way forwards. While reminiscing about how well JT and Vanek clicked on offense, people forget how bad they were defensively. I think they were both - on the +/- scale, and the team was nowhere near making the playoffs that season.

No thank you.

Hard pass on Vanek. Isles do not need anymore snowflake forwards.

What about Bailey! He's great! He's amazing! Other GMs should be banging down the door for a chance to snatch him away!

I know Bailey is having this amazing year and should have plenty of value.
