The NY Islanders are considering a trade involving Adam Pelech, who has been a key player since 2016 but is facing injury challenges. A proposed deal would send Pelech to the NY Rangers for Scott Morrow and a second-round pick in 2026. Pelech has a contract with a $5.75M cap hit and a no-trade clause. He could find rejuvenation by partnering with Adam Fox on the Rangers. Morrow, a young right-handed defenseman, had a successful AHL season last year and is seen as a valuable asset for the Rangers.
Adam Pelech has been a mainstay in the Islanders' lineup since the 2016-17 season, but the wear and tear on his body has begun to catch up with him.
Pelech has four years remaining on his current contract at a cap hit of $5.75M, with a modified 16-team no-trade list.
Scott Morrow, a 22-year-old right-handed defenseman, spent most of last season in the AHL with the Chicago Wolves, scoring 39 points in 52 games.
Joining the Rangers could allow Pelech to earn top-pair minutes and become the ideal partner for Adam Fox.
