Rumor: Islanders Interested in Shanahan?

Uniondale, NY (AP) -- Sources have confirmed that GM Garth Snow and the Islanders organization have been in contact with the 40-year-old winger Brendan Shanahan in recent days. Shanahan signed with the New Jersey Devils mid-way through last season and played 34 games turning in 6 goals and 8 assists in what proved to be disappointing acquisition for the Devils. The Devils and Shanahan elected to part ways when it became clear that Shanahan would not be guaranteed a spot on the Devils top two lines.

The Islanders, who have been actively searching for a veteran forward to help Weight mentor the young skaters, have reportedly offered a 1-year-deal to the veteran who was reportedly mulling retirement after leaving the Devils.

GM Garth Snow commented on the situation. "I can indeed confirm that we have made an offer to [Brendan] Shanahan. Per team policy I will not discuss the financials of the deal. He has let us know that he will take a few days to consider the offer and offer and get back to us."

If Shanahan were to sign it would likely mean that he would be joining the Islanders second line with fellow veteran Doug Weight and rookie Rob Schremp, as well as the #2 power play unit.

looking great! Nice wins and gl on shannahan.

Great job but by the way, Pomminville has the Bruins logo on top of his picture rather than the Sabres logo.
