The Islanders selected Nelson 30th overall in 2010 and he came up alongside many still in the organization such as Lee and Casey Cizikas as well as defensemen Adam Pelech, Ryan Pulock and Scott Mayfield.

The Islanders are working on a new Kyle Palmieri contract after trading Brock Nelson at the NHL trade deadline.

Brock Nelson had a goal and an assist and the New York Islanders took down the NHL-leading Winnipeg Jets 3-2 on Tuesday night. Kyle Palmieri and Ryan Pulock also scored, and Ilya Sorokin finished with 27 saves for New York in its final game before the NHL trade deadline and a three-game west-coast road trip.

The Islanders and the 34-year-old winger, who ranks No. 7 on The Athletic's NHL trade board, will continue working on an extension.

The next domino of the trade deadline for the New York Islanders has come down. The New York Islanders will not trade Kyle Palmieri as the two sides work toward a contract extension.
