He is playing for a contract, the Islanders are the stepping stone to rejuvenating a career after all.

You have to assume the absolute worst with DP; it really shouldn't be shocking that the Islanders are hedging their bets with DP's health. If nothing else, they're covered in case DP can't come back, something they were decidedly unprepared for last year. And like you said, in a perfect world, he's a tradeable commodity. My only thing is, Biron wouldn't have agreed to sign here unless upper management told him he'd be getting lots of playing time - and I'm sure they told Roloson the same thing as well.
