Huselius on the Isles' Radar?

A few reports have come in that the Islanders are looking to sign UFA winger Kristian Huselius this offseason.

Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal believes the Islanders could be the front runners for Huselius, and given their lack of first line depth it wouldn't be surprising. He might also thrive playing for Ted Nolan, who has a way of getting the most out of his players, even those with reputations as underachievers like Huselius.

He has only missed 2 games in the passed two seasons, making him a very durable guy who can come in to play night in and night out. He is coming off of a 25 goal 41 assist season, and a 34 goal 43 assist season the year before.

Overall, he has remained pretty healthy throughout his career, and can score and pass. Frankly, that is what the Isles need.


Let's Go Isles!!!
