New York Islanders Odd Move for Dennis Seidenberg

The New York Islanders signed Boston Bruins buyout Dennis Seidenberg to a one-year $1 million deal on September 28th. In terms of dollars, this is a pretty good deal. It’s a low-risk type of contract, a million for a former cup winner, why not?

He brings intangibles to the team such as leaders, championship experience, and a veteran presence. But he also occupies a spot on the Islanders roster. A spot that could have otherwise gone to a young prospect in our system. Like an Adam Pelech or Scott Mayfield.
