UNIONDALE, N.Y. — The New York Islanders have signed veteran centre Doug Weight.
It's a one-year deal worth $1.75-million (U.S.) in base salary plus bonuses that could bring the total to $4.3-million.
Weight, 37, had 25 points (10-15) in 67 games last season with St. Louis and Anaheim. He has 969 career points (265-704) in 1,131 NHL games.
"Bringing Doug aboard was a priority for us," said Islanders GM Garth Snow. "He not only brings a wealth of NHL games and experience with him, but he's the type of player we want our younger players to learn from."
