Yes, changed my earlier message that transactions will not be posted until NHL/NYI announces signings. Beauvillier, Palmieri, Sorokin, Cizikas are now official. Who knew it would appear 15 minutes later?
#Isles Transactions: Anthony Beauvillier, Casey Cizikas, Kyle Palmieri and Ilya Sorokin have all agreed to multi-year contracts.

#NYI #isles I think the 9/1 date is significant here for reasons yet to be determined.

#NYI #isles Looks like Andy Greene, who had to be signed before expansion draft is not part of this news dump, nor Zajac, along with anyone else. Sorokin's deal will be interesting.

#NYI #isles So far none of this justifies the cone of silence for two months by only one organization.

#NYI #isles This still leaves Bellows, Koivula, Anatoli Golyshev as RFA not signed, and Dal Colle UFA outside completely if there was a plan to retain him in some manner.
