NHL Rumors: New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, and a Top 30 trade watch list

Could the New York Islanders land another big fish?

Stefen Rosner: If the New York Islanders are not done adding to their offense, they should look at wingers Vladimir Tarasenko and Timo Meier. Both those players will have many teams interested.

Tarasenko does a no-trade clause and if remembering correctly, the Islanders were a team he’d consider going to.

The Buffalo Sabres checked in on Timo Meier

Lance Lysowski: A source said that Buffalo Sabres GM Kevyn Adams was doing his due diligence when talking the San Jose Sharks about forward Timo Meier. He was just checking in to see what the cost would be and as of late last weekend, there was nothing serious.
