BREAKING NEWS: Islanders sign Martin Biron


Breaking News: The New York Post is reporting that the Islanders have singed free agent Goalie Martin Biron to a 1 year deal worth $1.4 million. The 32 year old would be the second pro goalie the Islanders have signed and the second biggest free agent signing since the signing of Dwayne Roloson. Biron went 29-19-5 with a 2.76 GAA last season while sharing duty with Antero Nittymaki and helped lead the team to the playoffs last season before loosing to Pittsburg in the opening round. This could be a sign that Rick Dipietro, the franchise goalie who was drafted 1st overall in 2000 might take longer than expected to comeback to full health this upcoming season.
