Eberle, Islanders haven't opened extension talks

It's been all quiet on the Jordan Eberle contract extension front.

The New York Islanders forward says he has yet to begin discussing a potential new deal with the club.

"I haven't had any conversations with anybody," Eberle told NHL.com's Brian Compton on Tuesday. "Going into the summer, I was trying to focus on me and being the best I can be, and come into the camp the best I can be. Once that happens, you start trying to fill a role and try to make this team as good as it can be."

Eberle is entering the final season of the six-year, $36-million deal he signed in the summer of 2012, and as a result, could have started negotiating an extension July 1.

He notched 25 goals and 59 points in his first season with the Islanders after being traded by the Edmonton Oilers for forward Ryan Strome last summer.

The Islanders' eventful offseason was punctuated by John Tavares leaving for the Toronto Maple Leafs on the first day of free agency, but it also included Garth Snow being dismissed from his GM role, Lou Lamoriello taking it over in addition to president of hockey operations duties, Doug Weight being fired from the head coaching position, and Barry Trotz being named his replacement.

Eberle isn't the only pending UFA forward on the club, as Anders Lee and Brock Nelson are among the other players up front that the club will need to negotiate with lest they hit the open market next July.
