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.
NYI FYI …@NYIFYI · 7m The #Isles are stealing Kulemin away from the Penguins. Good friends with Malkin, linemates during lockout
Sean Hartnett …@HartnettHockey · 57s #Isles fans are really going to like Mikhail Grabovski's playmaking acumen and spirited two-way play. Leafs fans certainly loved the guy.
Daniel …@danyull_ · 3m 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.
Darryl Haberman …@NHLHabes · 1m 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.
Dan Rosen …@drosennhl · 3m 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.
