Nino Niederreiter said not getting invited to New York Islanders training camp was "frustrating."

Niederreiter's camp has reportedly requested a trade, but general manager Garth Snow isn't budging. For his part, Niederreiter said he's only focused on his play. "I'm trying to focus on what I can control and what I can control is on the ice. The rest I leave for my agent. Whatever he think is best for me he should just do that," Niederreiter told ProHockeyTalk at the AHL All-Star game.

Nino Niederreiter's camp has requested that the New York Islanders to trade him, according to a source, but GM Garth Snow has no plans to move AHL Bridgeport's leading scorer at this time.

Andre Rufener, who is Niederreiter's Swiss-based agent, reportedly sent Snow an email last week, during the Islanders' six-day training camp, which Niederreiter wasn't invited to attend. The team spoke to their 2010 first-round pick about the decision to keep him in the AHL in order to further his development. "All conversations with players remain private," Snow said, "but I will say that Nino has never told me that he's unhappy."

Niederreiter wants out of New York. He didn't make the team out of camp, and obviously feels like he should have. He has 36 points in 39 games in the AHL, so right now he has no fantasy value. Keep an eye on this, if he gets traded to a team that gives him an opportunity to play he could become fantasy relevant.

Nino Niederreiter's representatives are seeking a trade from the New York Islanders, a source told ESPN New York's Katie Strang.

Niederreiter didn't get an invite to training camp despite tearing up the AHL this season at a point-per-game pace. At the time, GM Garth Snow said the team had a plan for the former No. 5 overall pick and that Niederreiter was on track with that plan. Apparently, he's no longer pleased with how the organization views it. Niederreiter struggled last season, scoring one goal and posting a minus-29 rating in 55 games with the Islanders, but could make an impact if given a fresh start elsewhere.

Until Niederreiter cracks the Islanders roster he remains irrelevant in fantasy. However when he does make it keep your eye on him.

Nino Niederreiter didn't get an invite to training camp from the Islanders, but he impressed coach Jack Capuano during a scrimmage on Wednesday.

Capuano said that GM Garth Snow has a plan for Niederreiter and that the 20-year-old forward is on the right track. The Islanders prospect has been great in the AHL this campaign, with 19 goals and 36 points in 37 games to place him sixth in league scoring. However, that wasn't enough to get him a look at the big club's week-long camp. "Of course I was disappointed, but I've learned that there are things you cannot control and you can't worry about those," Niederreiter said after scoring for the Sound Tigers in the scrimmage versus the Isles. "I promised myself I wouldn't get frustrated about those things this year. All I can control is what I do on the ice." He could be the first player called up if there's an injury.
