The Islanders today placed F Shawn Bates on waivers with the intention of buying out his contract. Bates had many memorable moments as an Islander, including his 2002 playoff Game 4 penalty shot goal against Toronto. Bates unfortunately had too many injuries the last few years to be effective, and his roster spot will be given to a young player. Bates will undoubtedly find new work with a team looking for an effective special teams player.
