Isles reportedly trying in earnest to move a forward to be able to finalize the Kadri deal

"There are a few different dominos that are eventually going to fall here once this does come into play and is officially finalized. (The Islanders) have some house cleaning they need to do with some of their restricted free agents, my understanding is that's moving forward as well - It's just a matter now with $11 million in cap space, clearing some additional space to make all the pieces fit. The one player that is continuously part of (trade) speculation is Josh Bailey. He's got two years left on his contract, $5 million cap hit, my understanding is that he is a player that is still out there that is somebody they're trying to move. "

"You hear and see the rumors out there and you don't really know quite what to make of it with the New York Islanders because anyone could see them signing Kadri and the fact that it's gone on this long, you think back to last year or two years ago when they announced four signings in September. You gotta move money. Noah Dobson needs a new deal, (Alexander) Romanov needs a new deal. My guess, if the Islanders are indeed signing Nazem Kadri, they're gonna have to move someone and my guess would be Anthony Beauvillier. We've heard his name in the mix to move, and this was pre-(NHL Draft). Clearly, that's the one player the New York Islanders have on their roster that I think they can actually get something of value in return for as opposed to having to push to try and unload a contract."
