Arthur Staple of Newsday tells us that the New York Islanders have re-signed restricted free agent goaltender Jean-Francois Berube to a one-year deal worth $675K.
Berube made his NHL debut last season with the Islanders, getting into seven games throughout the year. He essentially spent the season as the team’s third goaltender though, spending most of his time in waiver-limbo between the club and it’s AHL affiliate.
In 2014-15 he was an outstanding performer on the Calder Cup winning Manchester Monarchs, but he’ll try to catch on this season and establish himself as a capable backup at the NHL level.
