Lamoriello, the Islanders GM, has a big decision to make on pending UFA Brock Nelson before the deadline. Is he tipping his hand?

The Islanders play their final game before the Deadline on Tuesday against the Winnipeg Jets at UBS Arena (7:30 p.m. ET; MSGSN, TSN3), their last chance to convince general manager Lou Lamoriello not to trade pending unrestricted free agents such as forwards Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri for potential future pieces.

It’s Monday morning during the trade deadline week. Thanks to Brock Nelson, the New York Islanders are being talked about nationally. He’s the number one available player on multiple trade boards around the league.

After yet another disheartening loss and four days until the trade deadline, here's the latest we're hearing on the Islanders' plans.

The New York Islanders snapped their four-game skid two nights ago in TD Garden against the Boston Bruins. The win came despite the Bruins outshooting the Islanders 39-20 and ultimately dictating play most of the night.
