An update on Islanders trade protection now that the calendar has flipped to July
Yesterday marked the start of the new league year for the NHL, and with that, I thought this would be a good time to update everyone on the Islanders and what trade protection statuses they have, as virtually everyone on this team who is eligible has some form of it.
NMC and 10 team trade list
Palat (I believe this means he can be traded to any of the 10 teams on his list but can't be placed on waivers)
Full NMC
Sorokin
Full NTC
Horvat, Mayfield, Pageau, Pulock
22 Team NTC
Barzal
16 Team NTC
Duclair, Engvall, Palmieri, Pelech, Varlamov
15 Team NTC
Schenn
3 Team NTC
DeAngelo
The following happens on July 1, 2027:
Romanov's full NTC kicks in (active until July 1, 2030 when it becomes a 16 team NTC)
Horvat, Mayfield, and Pulock's NTCs downgrade from full to 16 teams
