Islanders Shopping Just About Done

from Greg Logan of On the Islanders Beat,
Alex Tanguay is pretty much the last big-name forward with scoring ability left on the free-agent shelves. Speedy Maxim Afinogenov is available, but after his past down season in Buffalo, there’s no market. Veteran defenseman Dennis Seidenberg has resumed negotiations with Carolina, his previous team, and physical winger Travis Moen recently received $4.5 million over three years from Montreal.
In other words, free agency for the Islanders pretty much began and ended with the signing of goaltender Dwayne Roloson to serve as the backup for rehabbing Rick DiPietro or as fulltime starter until DiPietro’s return. There’s not going to be any scoring help added from the outside by all indications nor any size on defense.
Islanders general manager Garth Snow is believed to still be shopping for help in the enforcement department.
