1 million a year for his effort? Kid fought the toughest division alone on many nights. They should pay him two million for what they did to him last season.

Very good signing, the kid competes every night for the Islanders, (hits everything, plays hard, scraps, etc) i think he can also be a 30-40 point player as well and still play physical - a good player in today game


The Islander blogsite is saying its $4 million per season, i think thats off somehow


Very solid move for the Islanders and Martin, now the wait lol

lol, Boulton will be 37 to start the season and after a year out of the NHL and an expired contract, not likely. This is probably his last year so I'm sure he wants to play as much as anyone.

Great deal for the Isles. Every team needs a couple players like Matt Martin as far as I'm concerned. Glad to see he's going to get plenty of time in the NHL.
