"We felt this move is the most beneficial for both the team and for Shawn going forward into next season," said Islanders general manager Garth Snow. "Shawn scored some memorable goals for the organization and was a great teammate. Although we are going in separate directions, we want to thank him for his contributions as an Islander."

The 33-year-old Bates struggled with a sports hernia as well as a hip injury last season and played in only two games.

Well, his main asset is his speed, and it sounds like injuries have pretty much done away with that.

"The Master" is Battaglia's nickname.

Ah, but he doesn't get it interposed between his first and last names, so it's tooootally different.
