BUFFALO — Things have been quiet around the Islanders this week, but that could change when Garth Snow and the rest of the team’s front office get to the First Niagara Center on Friday for the opening round of the NHL Draft.
While Snow made his way from Las Vegas, site of the Board of Governors meeting on Wednesday, to Buffalo on Thursday, the rumor mill was churning away, with big names such as the Canadiens’ P.K. Subban making the rounds.
Snow has been heavily involved in trade talks with his fellow general managers during the past few weeks, according to sources, in a search to add a top-six wing to replace Kyle Okposo, who is set to become a free agent on July 1 and is unlikely to return.
