A look at the new contract for Ducks goalie Viktor Fasth.
As most of you know by now, the Anaheim Ducks signed goaltender Viktor Fasth to a two-year, $5.8-million contract extension yesterday. Opinions are mixed with regard to giving this much money to a player who has a grand total of nine NHL games under his belt. But even more interesting is the status of Jonas Hiller, the apparent backup in Anaheim for the foreseeable future.
Eric Daoust rips into the Islanders for their recent cap trickery.
The New York Islanders have been a poorly run franchise for years. Many hockey fans have never seen this team enjoy a string of consecutive strong seasons during their lifetime. Their history of poor trades, signings and drafting is well-documented. They have given us glimpses of promise and even an occasional playoff appearance but have found themselves for the most part in the basement of the league. Meanwhile most of their high draft picks have either failed to deliver or found success elsewhere.
