Islanders ink Steve Bernier to 1-year deal worth a reported $750,000

There will be no professional tryout for Steve Bernier.

The veteran forward has signed a one-year contract with the New York Islanders which will reportedly pay him $750,000, according to Arthur Staple of Newsday.

Bernier's signing comes just moments after speedy forward Michael Grabner was dealt to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a six-player deal, effectively freeing up room on the roster.

He'll assume a depth role in Brooklyn, but does carry a scoring punch. He added 16 goals and 32 points for the New Jersey Devils last season.
