The New York Islanders Need Brock Nelson to Break Out of His Slump ASAP
New York Islanders center Brock Nelson has no goals in his last 10 games and that’s not good for a goal starved team that relies heavily on its leading goal scorer. We break down Nelson’s slump and what it will take to break out of it on today’s show. Plus, is Nelson going to get a contract extension or is he the best trade chip the team has come the NHL trade deadline?
We also break down the decision to place defenseman Grant Hutton on waivers to make room on the roster for Anthony Duclair’s return and what other options the Isles had.
And we answer your mailbag questions about the team, Lou Lamoriello and several other topics.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Break out or trade him now and get something for him.
Yeah I don’t care how he scores. Just score enough for us to still lose and trade him
Brock Nelson deserves better
He must be traded asap! Along with palmieri, lee,cizikas and dobson.. and Martin and engval must go also.before the trade deadline.
Hutton sucks .Hopefully a team picks him up.
The islanders have too many forwards who play the same style of game. Islanders are too one dimensional and predictable
They have a collection of forwards who all play the same style of play
Islanders need to play with different line mates
However
I believe you are missing the bigger problem and it's not Brock but rather culture
Casey: unfortunately I thought we played an overall good game
He said this after the Carolina game
On what planet does he live on. Emblematic of a team that lacks accountability and does not want to be criticized
Yes to win you need your best players to be the best players on the ice
But no matter how much skill a team has when you display such toxic attitude you won't win.
