Bergenheim Agrees to 2-Year Deal

Colliton and Walter Also Sign New Contracts

Sean Bergenheim has avoided arbitration, signing a two-year deal worth $1.725 million to remain an Islander. This happened a week after he fired his agents, who had originally forced him to file for arbitration.

“We’ve always had a high regard for Sean,” general manager Garth Snow said. “The events that transpired a week ago allowed us to get this done.”

Bergenheim will once again be a RFA when this new contract ends. He will make $800,000 next season, and $925,000 the year after.

This also comes a day after the re-signing of RFA forward Jeff Tambellini.

Ben Walter and Jeremy Colliton have accepted their qualifying offers, which are both 1-year 2-way contracts.
