Stefan Rosner: The New York Islanders have signed forward Matt Martin to a one year deal.
Stefen Rosner: “For those that are bashing Martin signing: He suffered three different injuries last season. Again, he has to prove he can play but #Isles have lacked physicality and if he can play sound defense/lay body playing 7-8 min a night and defend teammates, signing doesn’t hurt.”

Kevin Kurz: “Something worth keeping in mind: My understanding of things is that there’s a real strong possibility that Luchanko gets traded from Guelph at some point. Flyers would almost certainly welcome him going to an OHL contender, even though it’s not in their hands.”
