Wang, DiPietro working on contract that runs until 2021

http://www.newsday.com/sports/printedition/ny-spisles124888521sep12,0,792306.story?coll=ny-sports-print

According to an NHL executive, Islanders owner Charles Wang and DiPietro are on the verge of announcing they have reached agreement on a 15-year contract worth $67.5 million. Wow, 15 years for a goalie...what else would you expect from a guy who issued the longest contract in NHL history (10 years, Alexi Yashin)...what a circus. Oh and this is the same dude who sent his scouts to Japan to find Sumo wrestlers to use as goalies.
