Fabulous deal for Bitz!! Certainly says something about playing in college for four years and then making it to the NHL!!! And he's got a degree to boot!!! Not bad!!

I was watching NESN a couple of nights ago, and they had Chiarelli (GM)on. Bitz was the very first signing this year, and Chiarelli spoke very highly of Bitz's success in stepping right in. He mentioned how hard Bitz worked and how good of a job he did winning pucks along the boards.

It was clear that, through this signing and a couple of others, the Bruins are trying to keep the young core players on the team.

The Islanders signed Matt Moulson to a one-year, two-way contract.

The Rancor · July 07, 2009, 08:39:04 AM

sooo... the Isles have Moulson, Iggy, Romano.... anyone else?

David LeNeveu is a free agent...

People on the hockeysfuture islanders board are pretty pleased with the signing, and feel like Moulson has a real shot to make the big club, potentially replacing Jeff Tambellini.

I lot of Islanders fans have run out of patience with Tambellini and would be very happy to have any forward take his roster spot,

Mike Iggulden is an unrestricted free agent. I have seen speculation that he will play next year in Europe.

Daniel Desjardins of Puck Prospectus analyzed the performance of the Sharks' defensemen on even-strength goals allowed. Douglas Murray fared pretty well.

Claude Lemieux retired again. Maybe tangentially good for Vesce if he's still signed with the Sharks organization?

Romano signed 3 year entry level NHL contract with Islanders...Cornell South on LI
