Isles Sign Poulin
The Islanders signed goalie Kevin Poulin to a 1 year two way contract. Poulin will make 275K in the AHL and 600K if he is on the NHL roster. After an excellent start to last season where Poulin had essentially put the Sound Tigers on his back, his play really came back to earth as the season wore on and he finished with a 2.87 GAA and a .912 save percentage. This was Poulins best season as starter since 2011/2012. At 25, Poulins time could be running out and this year he figures on competing for time with rookie Stephen Williams who is expected to be with Bridgeport next season.
Carkner Signs AHL Contract
After missing all of last season, and with his contract expiring Matt Carkner signed a 2 year AHL contract with the Islanders AHL affiliate in Bridgeport today. According to Arthur Staple, Carkner will serve as a player and coach.
Believe it will be a player/coach role for @CarknerMatt to stay in organization. #Isles https://t.co/i4Z4760pBD

Carkners style of play will translate well down there I think and his attitude will do wonders for the young players especially Scott Mayfield.New Third Jersey Coming Next Month
