Islanders Trade Block

[NY Islanders GM]

With the playoffs disappearing out of view, the Islanders may be looking to move a few players before the trade deadline. This is not a fire sale and we will only make the deal if it makes sense for us.

Centers -
Alexei Zhamnov - 80 PA would help any team.
Keith Primeau - never found good linemates, needs a change
Jim Dowd - 76 DF, good 4th liner

Wingers -
Richard Zednik (would have to be a good deal) - guy can score, may need a change of scenery
Steve Konowalchuk - 75 DF and can play on the PP
Antti Laaksonen - good third liner with decent DF
Mats Lindgren - cheap penalty killer
Sandy McCarthy - got grit?
Matt Johnson - got grit?

Defenseman -
Jason Woolley - decent #4-5 D man
Brad Bombardir - 74 DF
Eric Cairns - Grit and some DF
Radek Martinek - #6 D man
Mattias Timander - #5-6 D man

Goal -
Garth Snow - would be a great backup for a serious playoff contender
Milan Hlinicka - not a starter but a decent backup

Although picks and prospects will be considered, we are not rebuilding. If a goaltender moves, we need one in return.

Thanks,
