Cripes, did you post it just as I hit send?

Haha. If there’s a 2nd-tier offensive defenseman to be had, leave it to the Islanders to scoop ‘em right up. Good signing, but I would have focused more on building an actual team by luring more character guys. The Islanders have been my favorite east team for a long time, back in the days of Bertuzzi and McCabe. It pains me to see them mishandled year after year by an apathetic owner.

Nice deal, smart move. I’m impressed.

The cap hit is $4.1 million, not 5.1. Good deal for him, but with a lot of pressure.
