The New York Islanders have announced that they have avoided arbitration with left wing Blake Comeau and re-signed him to a one-year contract worth $2.5 million. The Islanders also announced that they have signed left wing Jon Sim to a one-year contract. The financial terms of his deal were not disclosed. In 77 games last season, Comeau had 24 goals and 22 assists for 46 points, while Sim had one goal and three assists for four points in 34 games. He also appeared in eight games with Bridgeport of the AHL, scoring seven goals and two assists for nine points. Sim left the team this past January to play with HC Fribourg-Gotteron of the Swiss League, where he had one goal in seven games. Comeau is a good signing for the Islanders, as he brings plenty of offensive and goal-scoring depth to the team despite being inconsistent in his scoring from time to time. As for Sim, he's always been held in high regard by the Islanders, so his return isn't a complete surprise despite him leaving the team in mid-season. He will bring plenty of veteran depth to the checking lines.
EDIT
Jon Sim has apparently signed with HC Pardubice of the Czech League on 8/12/11 instead of signing with the NY Islanders.
