The New York Islanders are hosting pending free-agent forward Andrew Ladd, according to Arthur Staple of Newsday.
Ladd has made it clear he wants to play for a contender, and with Kyle Okposo set to hit the market, Isles' general manger Garth Snow could be looking at a suitable replacement.
The Islanders have over $15 million in cap space to work with this offseason, and although he could be seeking a raise, Ladd carried a cap hit of $4.4 million on his last contract.
The 30-year-old scored 46 points between the Winnipeg Jets and Chicago Blackhawks last season and has been courted by multiple teams heading into July 1.
