We didn't sign Bryz. Not reported anywhere. No way he is the Isles goalie this year or hopefully ever.
I'm in the Ryan Miller minority. I love me a solid American goaltender.

Miller would (frank)in awesome for the Isle. Don't know what you would have to give up? Okposo? Bailey? Meh, You get Bryz and his fantastic locker room presence UFA.

A lot of buzz on twitter the Isles and Anaheim are talking

Hearing any names?

Where exactly did you see that? Because I haven't seen a single credible person mention that.

Buzz, I never said anything about credible.

Shocked Dee isn't having a memorial service for this news

Per Staple / Newsday:

The Rick DiPietro era is over for the Islanders. They will place the former No. 1 overall pick and franchise goaltender on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of buying out the remainder of his contract, Newsday has learned.
DiPietro, 31, will receive a compliance buyout, meaning that the $1.5 million the Islanders owe him over the next 16 years will not count against the team's salary cap.
General manager Garth Snow, who informed DiPietro of the buyout Monday night, told Newsday: "It is an extremely tough decision to use the compliance buyout on Rick's contract. His drive to win games and compete at the highest level for the New York Islanders was never questioned. With Rick back at 100 percent health, we wish him nothing but the best as he continues to pursue his career."
The buyout of DiPietro, who did not return messages seeking comment, ends one of the longest, strangest athlete-team relationships in sports history.
Mike Milbury maneuvered through trades to select DiPietro first overall in the 2000 draft, and the confident teenager from the Boston area immediately jumped into an Islanders uniform.
After bouncing between the NHL and AHL before the 2004-05 lockout, DiPietro became the team's No. 1 goaltender in 2005-06 and a personal favorite of owner Charles Wang. He authorized Snow, the new GM, to sign DiPietro to an unprecedented 15-year contract, worth $67 million, on Sept. 12, 2006.
But before a full season had elapsed on the new deal, injuries had begun to chip away at DiPietro's skills and confidence. He suffered two concussions at the end of the 2006-07 season and required hip surgery, beginning a long grind of hip and knee problems, several of which required surgery.
He also needed surgery to repair broken facial bones after a brief fight with Penguins goalie Brent Johnson on Feb. 2, 2011. DiPietro played 26 games in 2010-11, more than in any other year after 2007-08. He totaled 50 games in the past five seasons.
He began the abbreviated 2012-13 season in full health as the backup to Evgeni Nabokov but played in only three games before Snow and coach Jack Capuano had seen enough. DiPietro was waived on Feb. 22 and sent to Bridgeport, where he played 18 games to close out the Sound Tigers' season.
It is believed that Snow informed DiPietro that he would be bought out before the summer began. Snow tried this past week to swap DiPietro's onerous contract for another, to at least bring in a useful player and allow his trade partner to buy out DiPietro. After finding no takers through Sunday's NHL draft, Snow decided to put an end to DiPietro's 13-year run on Long Island.
It is not known whether DiPietro will be able to catch on with another NHL team, or whether he wants to. The Islanders will be paying him until the 2028-29 season, meaning his association with the team will end up spanning nearly 30 years.

Means two things. One, the Isles knew this before the draft, hence the Milner move. The other means the Isles wanted the cash to spend on upgrades without going too far over the top. Yoh have to assume they're anticipating throwing some money at a few cap casualties (Briere? Hiller?)

Horton and Hiller

Both are doubtful. Horton wants too much money/too many years and Anaheim probably won't move Hiller.

I've been hoping for Horton all hear, but not sure he'll come here...

Xxkeaner17xX

well if he was going to trade for a goalie, Nino would have been packaged in that deal. So now who on the Isles is expendable?

Grabner. The coaching staff seems to have a problem with him.

The Isles I think are around $34 Mil and the floor is $44 Mil.
They need to sign Clutterbuck, Bailey, Hamonic, Poulin, Hickey?, Ullstrom?

That's before their needs for a goalie, Solid D and 1st line W.

Horton was asking 6 years $6M per. I just have a hard time believing the Islanders' front office has the balls to pay Nathan Horton, he of 2 full(ish) seasons out of the last 5, a higher average salary than John Tavares.

Hiller?

I believe "the buzz" are people like this clown, who I accidentally stumbled across 10 minutes ago, talking out of their asses.

Yep they are clearing his salary for something? They are going to have to fill that space.

Horton is not worth that much. The Islanders are going to have to spend more than JT's salary on someone eventually. It was a steal of a contract but they can't let it handcuff themselves from spending more on someone else even if they are a lesser player.

I think the Ducks actually ARE shopping Hiller. We have more than enough goalies. We really need a 2nd line center (like most teams). Is Bailey for Hiller fair/plausible?

No way I give him 6 million and no other team should. Very risky with the concussion issues.

Well, now hold on a second...are Seguin's political views more acceptable than Tavares'?
