Nino Niederreiter's camp has requested that the New York Islanders to trade him, according to a source, but GM Garth Snow has no plans to move AHL Bridgeport's leading scorer at this time.
Andre Rufener, who is Niederreiter's Swiss-based agent, reportedly sent Snow an email last week, during the Islanders' six-day training camp, which Niederreiter wasn't invited to attend. The team spoke to their 2010 first-round pick about the decision to keep him in the AHL in order to further his development. "All conversations with players remain private," Snow said, "but I will say that Nino has never told me that he's unhappy."
