Satan and The Tank go to the Penguins; Isles add 6

The Penguins raided the Isles pantry on Thursday, signing Miroslav Satan to a one-year deal that TSN is reporting to be worth $3.5 million. The Pens also picked up former Islander Ruslan Fedotenko to a one-year, $2.5 million contract as well.

The Isles also announced the signing of six players for depth in the organization. All of the following have signed one-year, two-way contracts according to the team: C Mike Iggulden (formerly of the Worcester Sharks), D Brett Skinner (Providence Bruins), F Kurtis McLean (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton) and F Mitch Fritz (Hartford), D Chris Lee (Iowa Stars ) and G Peter Mannino from the University of Denver.

Iggulden and Skinner were AHL All-Stars in 2007-08. Skinner and Mannino also attended the University of Denver together.

Yesterday the Islanders announced the signing of G Yann Danis. Presumably, he and Mannino will be manning the nets in Bridgeport this season.

I don't like that the Isles let both of these forwards go on a team that needs to improve scoring goals. I was a fan of Miro Satan, he pretty much always scored when the Isles had a shootout. Pens win the East this season. <--Obvious.
