New York Islanders

[loco man]

Yes, it probably is more likely than the Leafs cup parade but still I wouldn't bet anything I like on it Of course, it COULD happen but I wouldn't expect it. Pencil him for 30-ish goals and anything else consider a nice bonus.

Ya, I see him as a 30-30-60 with a chance at 35. Good enough for me!

Thanks man

"It's not something I want hanging over the season and affecting the team," he said Tuesday after an informal skate at IceWorks in Syosset. "I know I'm going to be here for a long time and I'd like it to get done."

I'm guessing something like $33 million over 5 years. Whatever the length of the term, I think his salary will be between 6 and 7 mil per.

Done deal - 6 years, $33 million. An excellent deal for the Islanders and us GMs in salary cap leagues.

The Isles beat the Devils(Hedberg in net) 6-2 tonight. Big night for Moulson (2G, 1A), Nielsen (1G, 2A) and Streit (1G, 2A). Nino and Strome both played just shy of 16 minutes but were non-factors: no SOG for either. Montoya and Poulin split the game, each allowing 1 goal.

we'll know more after the weekend exhibition games.

so far he's been on the tavares/moulson line throughout scrimmages and one of the exhibition games while parenteau was playing with bailey/rolston.
