We’re back for episode 203 for the Eyes on Isles podcast and have a lot to get into this week. First, Vladimir Tarasenko has officially requested a trade and the New York Islanders are one of the few teams who can be a destination.

We will talk about what it would take to land him and if/where he would fit. Also, there are key dates that you need to know coming up. We’ll discuss the biggest offseason dates and what to expect as well.

Mitch had a scoop this past week that we’ll get into on down on the farm. We’ll also check out if there’s anything else going on in the world of Isles prospects. Here is what you can expect from episode 203:
