Brock Nelson Gets Emotional In What May Be His Final Interview As A New York Islander
The Islanders upset the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, and with no more games before the deadline, Brock Nelson was emotional in his interview after the game.
The 2025 NHL trade deadline is upon us, and with many players expected to be on the move, one of those at the top of the list is Brock Nelson, who has been listed at No. 1 on Frank Seravalli's latest trade board.
With the deadline just days away, Nelson clearly knows his days could be numbered in New York, and that was on full display on Tuesday night, as Nelson gave an interview after the Islanders win over the Winnipeg Jets, which could be his final game in New York, with no games for the team remaining before the deadline.
Brock was a first-round pick of the Islanders way back in 2010, and since that point he's played in 901 games with the team dating back to his debut in 2013, and in an interview after the game, the emotions took over as he was clearly choked up when addressing what UBS Arena and the organization means to him.
While Nelson didn't comment on his future specifically, it's easy to see that the speculation and the entire situation is weighing on him, as he has given his all to the organization over the past decade.
That appreciation was on full show on social media after the interview, with fans clearly understanding how much he's meant to the organization over that time and showing their true love for the veteran forward.
Only time will tell if the Islanders move on from Nelson or attempt to bring him back in free agency over the summer if an extension isn't reached this season, but whatever happens, it's been a great run for him on Long Island, and he will long be remembered as a fantastic piece of Islanders history.
