As day two comes to a close, the NY Islanders have signed both forward Nikolai Kulemin and center Mikhail Grabovski to 4 year contracts. Kulemin at $16.75 mil and Grabovski at $20 mil.

NHL talent comes to Uniondale.

The #Isles are stealing Kulemin away from the Penguins. Good friends with Malkin, linemates during lockout

#Isles fans are really going to like Mikhail Grabovski's playmaking acumen and spirited two-way play. Leafs fans certainly loved the guy.

Overy paying? Yes! Do I care? No! Some legit depth. Now for somebody on D? Come on Garth! #isles

The immediate reactions are always so entertaining.

Hey look... a Russian and Belorussian player heading to #Isles, 1 year before move to Brooklyn. Brighton Beach just calling out. #NHL

Because every move is done for a reason. Yep.

Garth Snow crushed it today by signing Grabovski and Kulemin. Factor in Halak/Johnson and the Isles just became legit. Still need help on D.

Give him time.... give him time.
