Ethan Sears of the NY Post: New York Islanders pending UFA Brock Nelson on what he wants for his future.
“I want what’s best for me, my family and team and everything. There’s a lot of factors that go into it. I know everybody kind of wants an answer right now. That’s not how the world works. You don’t always get what you want.
Everything will sort itself out. Lou a great guy. I love playing for him. He’s a great guy. He’s given me a great opportunity the last seven years. He’s an influential guy in hockey in general. My agent has a great relationship with him and communicates with him and I know everything will kinda sort itself out.”

NHL Rumors: Seattle Kraken, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Cody Ceci

This a guy who, if he decides to go elsewhere, he’s got to bring it up. He’s got to go to them. I can’t see him doing that. I really can’t.
