Ben Walter traded to Devils for Tony Romano , Komisarek news

June 30 2009 by Rob.

Romano is a Long Island native from Smithtown.  Romano is still young only being at 21 was playing in the OHL for the Peterborough Petes.  He put up good numbers last year recording 36 goals and 33 assist for total of 69 points in 65 games. 

Mike Komisarek wants up to five million a year.  I do not see the Islanders paying him that.  I really can not see any team paying that price. 

I wish the Islanders went out and signed a huge name like the Sedins or any other big name.  Personally I love Mike Cammalleri.  He put up 39 goals for the Flames.  I would not expect those numbers but at least 30 is a good number.  Will the Islanders go out tomorrow and make a huge offer to a top name, who knows ? The chances are very slim though.  In another year or two I could see the Isles going out and signing a huge name.  But is one big name going to make us a playoff team.  I don’t think so and I don’t think the Islanders do also.
