Per industry sources, Brock Nelson has not signed an extension yet with the New York Islanders.

New York Islanders pending unrestricted free agent forward Brock Nelson is back in his home state of Minnesota on Saturday ahead of their game against the Minnesota Wild.

There's been speculation about a potential contract extension for Nelson with Long Island, the team he's spent his entire 12-year NHL career with. 

According to industry sources, the Islanders and Nelson have not yet agreed to a contract extension. However, the belief is that Lamoriello would like to retain his 33-year-old scorer. 

There are many questions that have to be answered prior to the pen hitting paper, like what Nelson is looking for on his next deal, how many years, and how high the Islanders are willing to go per year. 

The biggest question is about the route the organization is planning on going. 

Lamoriello is not one to go the sell route, especially when he believes his team has a chance to fight for a playoff spot. 

Nelson's agent, Ben Hankinson, does reside in Minnesota, so it wouldn't be a shock if he and Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello sat down for a conversation before puck drop.

The Islanders enter play on Saturday night four points back of the second wild-card spot with a game in hand on the Detroit Red Wings. 

If the Islanders do ink Nelson to some kind of extension, don't expect it to be announced the day of. That's not how Lamoriello operates.
