Isles Sign Hunter to 5-Year Deal
February 22nd, 2008 by murph
Cross one Islander free agent off the list, NewYorkIslanders.com is reporting that Trent Hunter has signed a 5-year deal to remain with the Islanders. There’s no news story yet, just a video of Garth Snow announcing the deal on Islanders TV.
I think it’s a good move by the Isles to lock up Hunter. Although his scoring is down since his rookie season (25 goals), Hunter provides a gritty, hard hitting, Ted Nolan style of play out there. His contributions to the team don’t always show up on the scoresheet, but fans appreciate and respect his effort on the ice.
