As has been the case for many, many weeks, there is nothing of substance to report on the Islanders front. Random connected reporters and opinionated pundits periodically throw out the “whispers” that a big free agent (namely: NAZEM KADRI) is headed to Long Island, but no one has been able to report anything concrete there.
We regularly say “today won’t be the day” in that reverse-jinx hope that maybe today will be the day, but that’s no way to spend a summer.
Sounds like one of the top UFAs of this summer, Nazem Kadri, is finally getting off the market

In a bit of fun irony, the lack of Islanders news — of any kind — may have an impact on another idle summertime exercise, the Athletic’s confidence surveys.
