Islanders sign Marty Biron to one year deal

This probably means Dipietro is finished. They just signed Roloson and drafted two goalies.

4. Heh, former Flyers goalie vs. current Flyers goalie.

Gotta love it!

2. Isn't DP signed for a hundred years or so?

It's just a shame he's been so plagued with injury, his upside is off the charts.

3. 11 more years left to go

Good thing is that his contract is covered by insurance. At least six years of it or so. He retires it comes off the books anyways.

So no big deal there.

Botta is saying Rick is gonna be fine but is gonna need more time. Will begin light skating in late August.

BD Gallof saying he got some interesting news from a source close to DP. Check IslandersIndependent later on tonight.

5. Hopefully they'll start pronouncing his name right.

It's Bih-ROHN not BEER-on.

6. Beer On is what the Human Torch says when he wants to get drunk.

7. I used to hate it when people used to butcher Patrick Roy's name

One thing that's good about this is the Islanders should be a .500 team this year with Roloson and Biron. At least close to it.

Sucky thing is that their draft pick won't be. I think after Hall there is a massive drop off.

Have to see how the Isles prospects perform. They have about six that are elligible to make the WJC. Hamonic and DeHaan everyone has as a lock to make the Canadien Team.
