The Islanders center, who is set to hit free agency next summer, indicated Wednesday that he is open to negotiating an extension during the season if that route is open.
“I’m indifferent,” Nelson said. “I know that’s the backside of it, but at the same time, right now it’s just coming in here, working and playing. Having fun and worrying about your game. All that will sort itself out.
The Islanders, though, need to decide how much money and how many years they are willing to commit to Nelson when he is currently outplaying the traditional aging curve. Moving Nelson ahead of March 7 would likely only happen if the Isles severely underperformed — the plan is to contend for the playoffs and more, not to sell off assets midseason.
Nelson holds a 16-team no-trade clause and, having been an Islander since the 2010 draft, does not sound like he wants to go elsewhere or deal with any kind of drama surrounding his contract status.
