New York Islanders goalie situation has been once again thrown into disarray thanks to mega-agent Allan Walsh’s twitter comments. Can we get anything for Halak?

Carrying three goalies doesn’t sound like a logical thing for an NHL team to do. But for some reason, the New York Islanders have done so for the second straight year.

And for the second straight year Jaroslav Halak is voicing his displeasure about the situation in Brooklyn. Or at least his agent is doing the talking this time.

Hard to figure out NY Islanders using 3 goalie system for 2nd year. Biggest issue is goalies don't get enough practice time to stay sharp.

Starting goalie for NY Islanders last game had only 1 quality practice in last 5 days before Penguins game. Going on 2 years of this now.

Those comments were seemingly enough to have GM Garth Snow send out 29 emails with: “Fair Conditions Jaro Halak Available for Trade”.

We asked Eyes on Isles staff writers what they thought would be a fair return for Jaro? What could/should the Islanders look to get for our seemingly number one netminder?

At the moment the Islanders might just need anything but a top line center, and maybe a number one defenceman. Outside of that, any spot is up for grabs.
