NYI Fan Central Comments
Now or never for the Islanders unless a team lower in the standings claims him first and they do not get an opportunity.

Given Paul Holmgren's comments about possible interest from the Flyers, reported interest from Calgary and other teams he's likely going to be claimed by someone.

Either way we will find out soon.
