The Islanders are in talks with Alexei Yashin to bring the center back to New York. After four years in the KHL, Yashin remains pragmatic about the possibility of returning to the NHL. "I don't want to run in front of the situation," Yashin said. "Teams make decisions. Players make decisions," he said. "Now maybe they're looking for a different approach. It might happen, but it might not happen. I can't really prepare for what might be ahead."
