The New York Islanders became a bit bigger on the blueline on the weekend, signing Andy Sutton to a 3-year deal on Saturday. The 6'6" defenseman was good enough for 16 points in 55 games for the Atlanta Thrashers last season and will bring some size to an already formidable defense team. According to the NHLPA website, he should be earning roughly $2.5 million a season for the 3 years he'll be employed on the Island, so that brings up the team salary to $36.7 million for the 20 players listed. There's a good chance that the team will carry the maximum 23-player roster, as they have quite a few defensemen worthy of playing time, but only a certain number of spots can be taken at any one time.
