Alex DeBrincat checks so many boxes for the New York Islanders right now. He’s young, skilled and fast on the ice. But could the Isles afford his salary and what would it take to get him in a trade with the Ottawa Senators? We take a look at DeBrincat’s skills, salary and whether the Isles could pull off a trade to get his rights.
Plus we answer your question about Cal Clutterbuck and examine the season and the future prospects of Ross Johnston. What role does “Ross the Boss” have to play on this team going forward?
We’ve got all this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

I've been beating the hell out of this drum all season!!!!! We really NEED to try making this happen
Is Dibrincat a right or left handed shooter?
Gil, I'd keep 12 over 27. Ottawa needs a veteran "leader" who better than Lee! If we can get Lees 7 million off the books…Holy shit! I feel that famous Islanders false hope creeping up on me…
It's 15's cap hit that's hurting us. LTIR????
I don’t think the Sens want anything L will offer. Lou’s not going anywhere. Debrincat is much much more than one of the 3-20+ goal scorers I talked about recently
Ross is making more then Fasching. And Fasching plays EVERYDAY!!! only the Islanders make idiotic signings like this
Bring cat to isles. Cat's production went down a little this past season without kane on the other side. Have to dump bailey and find a taker for lee to make it happen. And what about bo? He seems a bad fit on isles and has a ntc that kicks in on july 1. Could move bo before 7-1. And av's have a lot of cap room next season with landeskog on ltir thru next season and have the kadri hole and interest before tdl. And sens are in ownership flux right now. Only problem is isles with not much to offer lou would dip into '24 picks like first, second-to do this. Once again just like with all isle trade talk i don't see how this is possible asset wise and from salary standpoint. Unless say lee is or jpg (back to sens) is packaged in this deal or bo moved how can lou do it? And what does cat want as rfa? And does cat want to stay in ott. with new owners coming in? Lee (retain part of deal)/romanov, '24 second for cat. Re-sign mayfield. Too bad isles didn't pull a cat deal off at last june's draft with that first that went for romanov instead as sens had the higher first to give hawks for cat. Get cat, sign tarasenko, and fix your top six lou. vt, barzal, cat. bo? nelson, palmieri. And lou will love cat's -31 last season. Had 11 ppg's.
sens fan here, Dobson and a second pls
Let's be honest with Ross Johnston under contract was resigning Matt Martin necessary? It absolutely wasn't. They play the same role and Ross is cheaper and at this point tougher. Lou has done a terrible job managing the cap.
