Isles GM Lou Lamoriello says he knows the team needs to get younger — but how will they accomplish that this offseason?

The head vs. heart calculus which has tugged at the Islanders’ decision-making, or lack thereof, over the last month finally hit an inflection point.

Islanders president Lou Lamoriello made one trade at the NHL trade deadline. But more than just Brock Nelson needed to go.

Lou Lamoriello didn't win the trade deadline but he didn't lose it either. The Islanders will move forward with the same group minus Nelson.

Noah Dobson’s name had been flying around social media, with the defenseman rumored to be on the move, when news broke about a month ago that he had switched agents and now would be represented by Wasserman Sports.

As we approach the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline, the New York Islanders have a surplus of defensemen. It would likely be in the Islanders' best interest to not carry eight defensemen, nine when Mike Reilly is ready to return.

Although the New York Islanders weren’t quite as busy as many believed at the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline, moving on from longtime forward Brock Nelson but otherwise standing pat, general manager Lou Lamoriello made it clear that many more changes will be coming in the offseason.
