The Islanders continue to sign junior prospects in anticipation for this upcoming season. The Islanders today signed Defenseman Dustin Kohn to a 3 year entry level contract. He will be at the Islanders Prospect minicamp next month in Moncton and will be at big league camp in September. Kohn is 6'1 and 190 lbs and should be able to contend for a roster spot in the very near future.
Kohn is coming off by far his best junior season in 06-07. His 5-45-50 led the Brandon Wheat Kings defenseman in scoring and his +23 mark was the best on the team. He also ranked among the league leaders in assists and power play assists.
With Chris Campoli and Bruno Gervais promoted to NHL duty....this signing along with the expected future signing of another defensive prospect Wes O'Neill, current Sound Tiger Drew Fata and newly signed Andrew McDonald ...the Islanders will have replenished their d-man stock at Bridgeport and given themselves plenty of options come training camp.
