The New York Islanders could trade winger Kyle Palmieri before the deadline, potentially to the Pacific Division's Los Angeles Kings.

While adding a player like Palmieri could address immediate needs, it won’t be simple for the Kings. Right now, Los Angeles has $10.9 million in cap space. Once Drew Doughty is activated from LTIR, however, that space will evaporate as Doughty carries a cap hit of $11 million.

NY Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello dismissed concerns about losing Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri. Both players have expiring contracts and could be valuable assets before the March 7 trade deadline. Despite the team’s struggles, Lamoriello said that they aren't thinking about selling players.

The New York Islanders are stuck at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and, in theory, should be sellers at the March 7 trade deadline. General manager Lou Lamoriello, however, is not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
