Mike Martz Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Rick DiPietro re-signed with the New York Islanders on Tuesday, agreeing to a deal that reportedly will pay the No. 1 goalie $67.5 million over a record 15 years Based on my math it looks like the Isles got a good deal paying a goalie $9 per hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war ensemble Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Wow, only a fool gives a 15-year contract. Now he risks the chances of him getting a career-ending injury this year and still having to pay him 67 million $. He's not even one of the best goalies, he's probably not even in the top 15.

Bugg Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 With Rangers backup Max Montoya or who ever the Dev's backup will be, he might not even be the 3rd best goalie in his own market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbn007 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 With Rangers backup Max Montoya or who ever the Dev's backup will be, he might not even be the 3rd best goalie in his own market. Al montoya is still a prospect, although a highly rated one. And Lundquist is far superior to DiPitero. I find it comical that any team would give a 15 year deal to anyone. There is no injury protection for the Islanders, and this still counts heavily against their cap, at an average of 4.5 million per. I dunno...............

faba Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 What was Snow thinking giving a 15 year contract I will never know- The Islanders long for Bill Torrey again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsMan57 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Wait until DiPietro plays a full season behind an NHL caliber defense, which he should have this year, then make a determination on him. I am not making excuses for him, at times last year he was bad but there were also far too many times when the AHL defense he had hung him out to dry. I just want to see him play in front of a solid defensive team with a good defensive minded coach like Nolan then we'll see what he has. Right now, its way too early. The kid is very talented. And one thing I like about him is that he plays well when the pressure is on. His first playoff series against Tampa 2 years ago he did very well. He played well again in the Olympics last year and when he said the Islanders were gonna kick the Ranger's asses (hated the comment, but he said it) in the last contest of last season he backed it up by playing maybe his best game of the year. The contract is just stupid. Nothing more else to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
