Is Long Island The Destination For Tomas Tatar?

from Stefen Rosner of The Hockey News, Silence. That's been the New York Islanders since they signed a trio of depth forwards on July 5 after retaining their own free agents a few days prior. Currently sitting $486,625 above the allotted salary cap, the Islanders are more than likely -- out of necessity -- to subtract a player from their roster rather than add. However, there is one player still on the market after two months of free agency that's a real head-scratcher: Tomas Tatar. The 32-year-old is coming off a 48-point season (20 goals, 28 assists), his second in New Jersey. Tatar is a rather versatile player, as he played up and down the Devils' lineup, even seeing minutes on the top line. So, why does he remain unsigned? Well, do we know that is the case? Is it possible a certain team signed Tatar, with the announcement not being made public yet? It's not impossible. continued
