Bo Horvat Not Considering an Extension w/ Islanders For Now

Bo Horvat's trade to the Islanders came as a surprise to everyone. GM Lou Lamoriello always works in mysterious ways, but this trade was bold even for him.

Horvat is a pending unrestricted free agent this summer, and how this trade looks in hindsight depends largely on the Islanders' ability to sign an extension.

During All-Star festivities, Horvat was asked about it, and he was honest about it. The newest Islander said that an extension is not a concern of his to this point.

If Horvat does walk to free agency this summer, Lamoriello will absolutely be on the hot seat. Honestly, even if the Islanders do re-sign Horvat, Lamoriello's job could be in jeopardy anyway.

Horvat's services would be a hot commodity on the open market, so the Islanders' front office had better get started sooner than later.
