On the New York Islanders …
If there is a trade, guessing nothing will be announced until #Isles land in Dallas. They were scheduled to leave NY at 1, so sit tight.

Doesn’t sound like #Isles have anything doing just as of yet… JHS move had to be made before the team flew out just in case.

Developing interest in Jaro Halak. Nothing imminent, but there’s reason to think he will be on the move today or tomorrow.

Hearing Garth Snow has at least 2 offers on Jaro Halak. Teams looking for quality backup. NYI would have to retain salary.

Further to @DarrenDreger, 2 teams have made offers on Halak, a 3rd is also in mix. He has 1-year left at $4.5m and .924 career playoff sv%.

#isles fans tracking team plane, waiting for trade call that might or might not be coming, is everything right about Twitter. #voteforpedro

Further to earlier post, once/if trade gets finalized, expectation is NYI will retain significant chunk of Halak’s contract, may be max 50% https://t.co/5JyL0cv8XT

On the St. Louis Blues …
I’ve been told #stlblues are exploring idea of re-acquiring Halak as insurance for Chicago Wolves or possible reinforcement here. We’ll see. https://t.co/3yNz3I7B7w
