Trade talks surrounding Alex DeBrincat have been circulating, but no concrete plans have materialized thus far.

The struggling New York Islanders have emerged as a potential destination for the goal-scoring forward, with general manager Lou Lamoriello keen on bolstering the lineup.

Reports reveal that the Islanders have offered defenseman Noah Dobson in a potential deal for DeBrincat. It's evident that Lamoriello is cautious about not overpaying for the talented winger.

Ottawa is asking for Dobson plus for DeBrincat . Looks like they will be holding on to him until they are out of the playoff race I would say #NHL #NHLFreeAgency

This of course is not very logical due to the teams rebuild (Chicago), but Connor Bedard still needs a promising right handed shot on his line, and that is a void that could be filled and a win-win situation.

Dobson plus, a draft pick potentially? Dobson could very well be equilvelant to Chicago Blackhawks prospect Alex Vlasic or Nolan Allan, alongside a draft pick, the Blackhawks could make the Senators send DeBrincat back home

As the situation develops, it will be interesting to see if DeBrincat finds a new home before the trade deadline.
