“I’m extremely happy to have reached an agreement with the Islanders for the 2008-09 season,” said Comrie early Tuesday morning. “I love being an Islander and wanted to stay. The management and the coaches have shown great belief in us as players and I am honored to be a part of this organization. I would like to thank Garth Snow and my representative, Ritch Winter, for making this a deal that both sides are comfortable and happy with. I look forward to the rest of this season and I’m thrilled to be an Islander for at least another season.”
The 27-year old Comrie has played in all 63 games for the Islanders this season and has recorded a team-high 45 points. The native of Edmonton has scored 18 goals (second to Bill Guerin) with a team-leading 27 assists.
I’m at work all day, and will try to update with any significant Islanders news. However for the absolute latest trade deadline news, check out these Blog Box Bloggers who are at the Coliseum all day today. I’d already scheduled vacation days on Thursday and Friday so I can move, I couldn’t bag today as well. Have fun today bloggers!

[Update] Here we go…things are heating up. No Islander moves yet, but the Sabres’ Brian Campbell and Lightning’s Brad Richards are on the move. I don’t think Voice of The Islander Fans is at the Coliseum, but they are doing a good job with updates.
