Damn. Looks like im not drafting him to my fantasy team this year.

Going to the Islanders...what a great way to get out of a year long slump.

A little steep, but not a bad signing for the Isles.

[brodeurrocks]

This could be a strong signing for the Islanders.

Streit leeched off of Montreal's amazing powerplay. Considering that Streit brings very little other than his PP prowess, he better hope that the Islanders surround him with some better players (Huselius, etc.) so he can be effective.

Really makes you wonder how much Oduya's going to fetch next season...

Damn. Are there any offensive dmen left?

For the Islanders, I agree; it is a very good signing.

For Mark Streit, playing with the Isles will only frustrate him and further his slump.

What slump?

Change you SN-Voros is a Raggot

Streit isnt a product of the Habs system, but his points are. I really dont think is going to be a good signing for the Isles.

[devils26]

What slump?

He was a minus player on a very good Habs team. While he was solid offensively, he was a defensive liability. Plus, half of his points were scored on the PP, and the Isles won't have as good of a PP as the Habs did last year.

Yeah, I pretty much said that with my previous post.

However he just came off a career year. Hardly a "slump".

He was terrible defensively, and that's what I was referring to as the slump.

Then what would going to the Isles have to do with his defensive play? You're not making sense. Streit was never a good defensive player.

But the Habs got better and his +/- remained bad. That shows that his defense was not improving at all. Perhaps slump was not the correct word, but playing for the Isles won't help his defensive game. And when he doesn't rack up as many points b/c he'll be without the Habs' PP, people will be less willing to overlook his poor defense.

4 mil and 5 years is a lot for a guy who is really unproven, only 2 years in the league so far.

Three actually. Although that's tempered by the fact that he's already 30 years old.
