I think we can find better production from his $5.5 million. No heartbreak there IMO. I’m more curious did Lou have to make a deal to get them to take him. We know Lou wants to keep his young players and Bellows seemed to be a viable pick for them.
From Larry Brooks New York Post. Larry Brooks on Twitter: "Have been told that Lou is looking to bring both Parise and Suter to the Island." / Twitter
That Larry Brooks is right on top of things huh ? We all knew this the minute that they were both released

Looks like the Isles and Palmieri are close to a new deal. James Nichols on Twitter: ".@FriedgeHNIC also suggests the #isles and Palmieri are “far along” on Palmieri returning." / Twitter
No surprise but it looks like Parise and Palmieri deals are done. FA starts at noon today so I imagine that's when it becomes official. Hopefully Lou can find a replacement for Leddy. LHD is the biggest need at this point. James Nichols on Twitter: "Heard the same as @stefen_rosner last night. Parise deal with #isles is done. As is Palmieri." / Twitter
No Suter for the Islanders. A four-year deal for a 36-year-old defenseman seems a bit excessive. https://www.nhl.com/stars/news/dall...-ryan-suter-to-four-year-contract/c-325835508
YES! Pelech signs 8 year deal. Arthur Staple on Twitter: "#Isles announce an eight-year contract for Adam Pelech." / Twitter

Very excited for the season, 4-0 over Rags, even though it's preseason, feels good. I live in Florida, but will have NHL pass to watch every game. Lord Stanley Back to Long Island
Islanders better hope that Anders Lee is a monster out there this season, because otherwise they are probably still not going to be able to get past the top teams that actually have people who can put the puck in the net.
