Nelson Peltz 'Kicking Tires' on Potential Islanders Purchase

Filed under: Islanders, NHL Fans

A league source told NHL FanHouse that there is "nothing new" and "nothing anyone should get excited about yet" regarding a recent report that Nelson Peltz is interested in purchasing the New York Islanders. However, sources have confirmed that Peltz has let his interest be known.

"Peltz has been kicking tires around the Islanders on and off for about a year, looking to see if he can get them cheap," a second NHL source told FanHouse. "It's tough right now to see anything coming of it."

In a live chat on Monday on espn.com, Pierre LeBrun said his "Hockey Night in Canada" colleague (and former Islanders goaltender) Glenn Healy had an item about Peltz's interest in the team, but the information did not make the broadcast.

A spokesperson for Nelson Peltz said, "We have no comment" when asked to verify the report.
