Islander News

Katie Strang has reported that Al Montoya had surgery last week for a torn meniscus suffered at the WCs.  He is expected to be ready for Isles training camp in September.


“Islander” Goaltender Evgeni Nabokov is also expected to be at  training camp in September.  Nabaokov had a poor showing at the WC, but his salary of $570,000 may get a few contenders with weak goal prospects to take notice.  Maybe for a draft pick or part of a trade to upgrade the team? 


2007 3rd round pick, Jason Gregoire has decided to turn pro for next season.  He will not return for his final year at the University of North Dakota.  According to Brian Compton, he had 25 goals in 35 games this season for North Dakota.
