11:53 AM ET 03.17 | There are nine games and 17 days until the NHL's trade deadline, so plenty can change for the Islanders between now and then. But it doesn't appear the Islanders' plans for Mark Streit, Lubomir Visnovsky and Evgeni Nabokov, three veterans who are on expiring contracts, will change between now and April 3. The Islanders and Streit began preliminary extension talks last month. Talks will begin shortly with Visnovsky and Nabokov, according to sources.

Does Nabokov really want to play behind the most porous D in the league? Visnovsky has sorta made it clear that he doesn't wanna be there (as did Nabokov when he was acquired).

Streit is the only one of the three that I can really see wanting to re-sign with the club.

Given the performance of Lindback in Tampa...I could see Nabokov going there...only to fail, just as every single other goalie that has stepped foot in Tampa, since...Bulin?

Hell! What difference does it make? One Evgeni looks like every other Evgeni, right? Why get technical?
