With trade deadline approaching, will Isles' Lou Lamoriello be a seller or buyer?

The clarion call for Islanders president and general manager Lou Lamoriello to be a seller in advance of the NHL trade deadline on March 21 comes with the even louder question of whether other teams will have much interest in anything he has to offer.

There’s also this: Does Lamoriello want to be a seller, even with the Islanders entering Sunday afternoon’s match against the Canadiens at UBS Arena 16 points out of a playoff spot?

There are many around the NHL who are not sure Lamoriello even knows how to spell "rebuild." Tearing things down has not been in his nature since he entered the NHL in 1987.
