Bern, baby, Bernier: Islanders agree to terms with depth forward on a one-year one-way deal

Welp,

So to catch you up: Brock Nelson in, Michael Grabner out and now Steve Bernier in. It's been a busy afternoon.

Bernier was brought in on a PTO last week during the simmering phase of the Nelson contract negotiations. This contract makes him a full timer and he'd have to pass through waivers to go to Bridgeport. The likelihood of him being claimed is low, so should he not work out, the Islanders could cut bait pretty easily.
