NHL Rumors: New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, and a Top 30 trade watch list
Could the New York Islanders land another big fish?
Stefen Rosner: If the New York Islanders aren’t done increasing their offense, they should look to wingers Vladimir Tarasenko and Timo Meier. These two players will have many interested teams.
Tarasenko makes a no-trade clause and if memory serves, the Islanders were a team he would consider going to.
Buffalo Sabers checked Timo Meier
Lance Lysowski: A source said Buffalo Sabers general manager Kevyn Adams was doing his due diligence when talking to the San Jose Sharks about forward Timo Meier. He was just checking what would cost and at the end of last weekend there was nothing serious.
