Islanders Sign Forward Weight to One-Year Contract

According to tsn.ca, veteran center Doug Weight has agreed to a one-year contract extension with the New York Islanders. Financial terms of the deal have not been released, but it's believed the only thing holding up the official announcement of the signing is the bonus structure of the contract. In 36 games last season with the Islanders, Weight had one goal and 16 assists for 17 points. He missed much of the season with a torn labrum and a rotator cuff injury. In 1220 career NHL games with the New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers, St. Louis Blues, Carolina Hurricanes, Anaheim Ducks, and New York Islanders, he has 276 goals and 748 assists for 1024 points. He won the Stanley Cup in 2006 as a member of the Hurricanes. Not a bad signing for the Islanders, as Weight brings lots of offensive depth and leadership to the team. Even though his offensive numbers have gone down in recent years, Weight still brings lots of experience to the rebuilding team and serve as a mentor to the younger players.
