NHL Rumors [VIDEO]: Thomas Vanek To Leave Islanders After This Season? Forward Hasn't Talked Extension, 'Need To Focus On Games'

The New York Islanders received Thomas Vanek in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres in October, but the winger is due to be a free agent at the end of this season and he hasn't committed to a long-term extension with the team. Vanek has yet to engage in serious discussions with general manager Garth Snow about a long-term deal, leading many fans to question whether or not he'll be back next season.
