Islanders Should Target Ottawa Senators Jean-Gabriel Pageau

Everyone and his brother will be clamoring for the New York Islanders to land an offensive forward before the NHL trade deadline. While that makes sense it's not very realistic given the marketplace.

In terms of Isles Team President and General Manager, Lou Lamoriello shopping the aisles for a goal scorer, he is going to find the shelves nearly empty. Even if Lamoriello is willing to trade big future assets, who is available for him to buy?

Most of the time the only significant players moved during the season are by teams building for the future and those teams are selling off their pending unrestricted free agents.
