Building From The Centre

Isles say adding a dominant centre has to be a part of this rebuild; know any.

Jack Hillen Inked To Two Year Deal

The New York Islanders have reached agreement on a two year, one-way contract with RFA Jack Hillen (reportedly for $520k per year). The move leaves Blake Comeau as the Islanders only unsigned RFA.

Isles say the Islanders won't be sitting a young defenseman and the veterans are starters, look for a move on the defense.
