With the NHL trade deadline now less than two months away (including a 10 day break for the 4 Nations Faceoff), experts are compiling their lists of the most targeted players available around the league. Well, three members of the New York Islanders made the top 25 for this respected sports writer's list. We break down the trio, why they're on the list and one of them is even number one.

Plus, we discuss a change in strategy by Patrick Roy concerning the Islanders defensemen and how that's potentially helping the team. 

We weigh in on the frustrating cable TV blackout a lot of fans are dealing with as of January 1st.

And we have a full preview of tonight's road game against the Vegas Golden Knights.

All this and more on today's Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.
