The NHL Trade Deadline came and went on Monday afternoon with the New York Islanders remaining intact.
That's not to say Lou Lamoriello wasn't making and fielding calls, but the Isles President and General Manager didn't feel like the right deal was on the table for his team.
"If we could have gotten better with a trade, we would have done that," Lamoriello said via a conference call after Monday's deadline. "If it appears we are standing pat because we are satisfied, we certainly are not satisfied."
