The point is getting pretty clear right about now.
The New York Islanders turned some heads in late-January when they claimed former NHL all-star Evgeni Nabokov off waivers.

The New York Islanders have made a plunge into the free-agent goalie market this summer, locking up Dwayne Roloson on July 1st and Martin Biron on July 22nd.

The New York Islanders announced the signing of former Oiler Dwayne Roloson.
