islanders.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=32728726-year old playmaking center signs one-year dealOn the heels of adding four-time NHL Star-Bill Guerin, the Islanders have signed center MIKE COMRIE to a one-year contract. The 26-year old Comrie had 20 goals and 25 assists for 45 points in 65 games last season with Phoenix and Ottawa. In the Senators' run to the Stanley Cup Final in June, the Edmonton native had four goals and two assists in 20 games. "We really wanted Mike Comrie because Ted Nolan, the scouts and I were unanimous in wanting to bring his offensive production, creativity and competitiveness to our team," said Islanders general manager Garth Snow. "At 26, Mike has already produced a lot of points and still has the potential to develop into one of the best centers in the game. I know Mike had a lot of options, but he understands the kind of team we're putting together on the Island and we're so glad he chose to be an Islander." In 386 career NHL games with Edmonton, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Ottawa, Comrie is 123-139-262.
