Veteran NHL forward Richard Park has agreed to a two-year deal with the New York Islanders. Sources tell TSN the one-way contract will pay Park roughly $500,000 per season.
Park had been skating with the Islanders on a professional tryout basis.
Last season, Park scored eight goals and 10 assists in 60 games with the Vancouver Canucks. Park has played 368 NHL games in his career, scoring 50 goals and 57 assists for 107 points.
“Richard has worked hard for us everyday and has proved to us that he belongs on this team,” said Islanders head coach Ted Nolan. “He’s a battler and fighter and knows how to get the job done. We’re confident that he’ll get the job done for us, and more.”
The Islanders have also assigned forwards Brandon Cullen and Peter Ferraro and defenseman Rick Berry to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the AHL.
