Islanders website: Reported Josh Bailey signed a two year contract extension very early Friday morning.
Art Bidlevskii has been returned to his junior team early.
Matt Moulson is being sued for a June 2010 car accident above his insurance premium.
Sorry folks, due to family circumstances, there will be no NYIFC updates regardless in the immediate future.
Thank You For Understanding.

Islanders website: Reported John Tavares signed a six year contract extension at a press conference.
NYIFC Comments:
Press conference ran for about fourteen minutes. Only Tavares, Snow taking questions, he was not named captain. Tavares was a bit nervous, but to be expected.
No questions were asked about Josh Bailey before they broke off for separate media scrums.
Obviously a great day for John Tavares and the New York Islanders.
Islanders website: Reported John Tavares signed a six year contract extension at a press conference.
“Over the past two years, John has shown a strong commitment to the Islanders organization and the Long Island community through his efforts both on and off the ice,” said General Manager Garth Snow. “He is a key component to the core of players we’ve decided to build this team around and we couldn’t be happier to ensure that he will be a New York Islander for years to come.”
“I’m thrilled to show the organization and loyal Islanders fans that I want nothing more than to win on Long Island,” Tavares said. “Charles and Garth have both shown a tremendous amount of loyalty towards me, and I look forward to honoring this long-term commitment. This is an exciting team to be a part of right now. We have a group that I feel will contend every year for a championship and I’m privileged to be a part of the Islanders’ future.”

Islanders website: Announced Thursday's press conference will be live steamed at 1pm.
Islanders twitter feed announced there will be a 1pm Thursday press conference with General Manager, Garth Snow and John Tavares.
NYIFC Comments:
Contract, Captaincy or both? Obviously by Tavares recent comments, he has an interest in being named captain.
Despite what will likely be great news on Tavares, what's needed even more is an announcement on Josh Bailey.
Regardless of Bailey's comments he has a decision to make.
It could well come down to accept the qualifying offer or do not play. Hopefully it's more about trying to agree on something longer.

Still Big Questions on New York Youth Movement
Tweet
Trent Hunter: Has been invited to tryout for the Los Angles Kings. Bryan Trottier is involved with a group interested in purchasing the St Louis Blues here.
****************************
In February of 2010, New York Islander Fan Central, had a blog entry titled
NEW YORK YOUTH MOVEMENT A FAILURE, where we examined the teams past prospects.
In April 2010 that was followed up by an entry titled: State of New York Islander Prospects, which detailed the status of each prospect in the system.
Here we are in September of 2011, it's more than fair to write, despite some top prospects showing some promise, and other quality names in the system, the prospect base is still not there on many levels which is extending past Mike Milbury's tenure, with the teams highest drafted defender from 2001-2008, Dustin Kohn, signing with a team in Sweden this week.
The prospect picture beyond Mike Milbury, is starting to come into focus.

New York 7, Boston 2..Katic Dislocated Shoulder
New York Islander Fan Central | 9/13/2011 08:35:00 PM
Mark Katic
Mitchell Theoret

A lot of twitter updates on tonight's game at NYIFC.
Good news/bad news.
The bad news is Mark Katic dislocated his shoulder early, and it looks like a long-term injury. Katic, has had a history of shoulder issues here not only with Bridgeport but in Sarnia.
Mitchell Theoret, also left in third period.
The good news is a dominating win over Boston, totally different game tonight. Three fights in first five seconds, but New York was skating very well, sharp and simply were the better team.

New York lost it's opening rookie game to Boston 8-5 Monday night, it was a 3-3 game entering the third, before Boston made it 6-3 very quickly.
Islanders website: Jack Capuano/Calvin deHaan comment on loss, also ITV video from head coach here along with Strome, Niederreiter and Kabanov.
Rhett Rakhshani sustained a concussion in the first period, he had a concussion in January and missed five games (during his callup) so something to watch very closely.
