From On the Islanders’ Beat at Newsday:
The Islanders have reached agreement with Edmonton’s Dwayne Roloson on a two-year deal believed to be worth $5 million. Signing a veteran starting goaltender solves their top priority, which was to have a 1A-caliber backup for starter Rick DiPietro in the event his injury problems continue.
Update 2:36pm ET: Darren Dreger’s Twitter --
Roloson tells TSN he wanted a 2 year deal and the Isles were quick to offer. Oilers wouldnt offer a 2nd year..

Don’t cry Oilers Rock - maybe the Oilers will trade for Josh Harding from Minnesota?

Harding will never come to Edm Baroque, he’d rather take league minimum to stay with wild.
