The opening of free agency went pretty much according to plan — at least for the Islanders.
On a day when there were major shakeups all around the NHL, Isles general manager Garth Snow wasted no time in making the move he was most focused on: signing a goalie to backup Jaroslav Halak.
Minutes after the market opened at noon on Wednesday, Snow inked 29-year-old Thomas Greiss to a two-year, $3 million deal.
Greiss played this past season with the Penguins, posting a 9-6-3 record with a .908 save percentage and 2.59 goals-against average while backing up Marc-Andre Fleury.
