elvis15 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Isles sign defenseman Strait — three years, $2.3 million Just two weeks after claiming Brian Strait off waivers, the New York Islanders have locked up the defenseman with a three-year, $2.3 million contract extension. Strait, 25, was plucked off waivers from Pittsburgh the day prior to New York’s season-opening loss to New Jersey. He was immediately thrown into the lineup has has been a presence every since, appearing in all six games thus far while averaging over 18 minutes a night. Prior to joining the Islanders, Strait appeared in 12 games with the Penguins — who took him in the third round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft — notching one assist and four penalty minutes. TSN’s Bob McKenzie notes the average annual value of Strait’s deal with the Isles is $775,000, and it’s a one-way deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoneypuckOverlord Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 that contract is better then Edlers. I'm not sure what crack he is smoking, as Streit could have easily gotten a better deal with a different team. Unreal. good job, Garth Snow.

Dion Phaneuf Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Why do you say that, it's not a bad deal. In fact, Pittsburgh fans are calling this an excellent deal for the Isles after loosing him to waivers. They wish they'd sent down another D so as not to lose him to waivers. Unless of course you're thinking of Mark Streit, then I could see why you're thinking that. This is for Brian Strait though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
