The New York Islanders currently have five proven NHL centers on their roster in Bo Horvat, Mathew Barzal, Brock Nelson, J.G. Pageau and Casey Cizikas. The Isles can solve this problem by moving one of these players to the wing or by trading one of them to free up cap space and helping this team to get that puck moving defeseman or goal scoring winger they need.
We explore which players are most likely to change positions and which players can possibly be traded and what it could do for the Isles.
Plus we look at Robin Salo’s season and his future with the Isles. Can he get his career back on track in 2023-24?
All that and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

TRADE JGP … I myself would trade Brock for a haul, but Mr. MAGOO would never do that bc he actually thinks this core can contend. It was over that Friday night in Tampa in 2021.
Toronto Canada
Hey get rid of varmslov and Bailey contract that's a $11 million dollars off the table sign soeokin long-term and get a backup the. Use extra money to get more snipers scorers younger not old guys
Get rid of bsiley and vatmlaov cobtract thats $11 milluon dollars use the money fir a cheaper bqvkup plys more scoring snipers
Keep brock
Get rid of bailey $5 milkuon and carlmalov cobtrwct $6 million man use the money fir cheaper bwvkup and get more snioers in
Thoughts are solid Gil, lets hope they come to fruition!!….Lets go Islanders!!!
Move jpg and or brock. get some scoring wingers, Maybe some team will bite on jpg at tdl. lou will never re-coup what he gave up to get jpg and would have to take salary back. Nelson should be moved now-if brock declines during the season trade value goes down. Wings could use a good no. 2 center and upgrade over copp. Yzerman has $30 mill. in cap space and lotsa draft capital/young guys to move. Maybe yzerman would give isles the bo first back in deal. And lou's problem any cap space he gets he just turns around and uses it to overpay. He'll probably overpay sorokin with $$$'s/term way out of range for a goalie today. How did habs deal to price work out? Lou is not a fiscal genius when it comes to what to pay who and when to pay big time $$$'s out.
