There is also no guarantee that the Islanders will move out of New York, especially since the organization made their desire to play in a more metropolitan corner of the state so clear. There has been a proposal to build an arena for the Islanders in Queens, next to Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets. Talks have been going on for months with the Mets, who would reportedly assist the process. The Islanders have new owners, Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin, who took over for Charles Wang on July 1. Malkin is the brother-in-law of Sen. Richard Blumenthal.
