Fans waiting for the first move of the offseason for the New York Islanders didn’t have to wait long. The team announced that it re-signed Dennis Seidenberg to a one year, 1.25 million dollar deal. The move was announced by Arthur Staple and came as a surprise.
Some people will see this as a cost effective move to sign a lower depth defenseman. Others will scream into the ethos how terrible of a move this is. Analytics people loathed Seidenberg due to his Corsi while conventional media loved him due to his fantastic +/-.
