The Islanders have scheduled a news conference for 3 PM today to announce the signing of Rick Dipietro to a new contract.
Rumor has it that it is a 15 year, $67.5 million deal.
Let me repeat, rumor has it, 15 years for $67.5 million, or $4.5 million per year.
Words escape me for now. Once this is confirmed, rest assured that I will have something to say.

Ed when I saw this story this morning I was ready to post this over hear. It doesn't seem bad to get him locked up at 4.5 a year, but 15 years what the hell are they thinking. The sites you mentioned on the geek are very good also check out Spectors Hockey sometime.
yea its on ESPN now....
...what a stupid ass lengthy deal...yea...the last long deal we did was Yashin and that worked out so well didnt it? grrrrr
...I'm think I'm done with hockey, I cant take rooting for this team.
Wow a few years ago it appeared that the Isles were going in the right direction and My New York Rangers were going in the wrong direction. Things may be a changin. Will Garth Snow want to unretire and get himself a long-term deal to back up Ricky D.
Back from Bermuda. Trying to catch up on some work (and the goings on in the sports world)...
WHAT?!?!
I mean, I love DiPietro and all, but...
WHAT?!?!
At least that Yashin deal has been worth it...
the signing of Rick Dipietro to a new contract.
As goaltender, or GM?
I mean, with the Fishermen, who can be sure?
I knew Mike would chime in with the lameass fisherman line. :)
Ahhhh, screw the fisherman line. The back-up goalie as GM is the horse I rode in on.
Mike, yeah I got that, but by using the tired old line, you blew it. It was funny.
This is why I hate Wang. He is making this team into a mockery.
From that, you can guess the tilt my entry will take when I post it.
Danny - welcome back.
Wang is, I just can't find the right words to describe him.
Mockery. check
Laughing stock. check
Endless material. check
Making their fans cry. Check
Ladies and Gentleman your NY Ice landers.
