DiPietro, 24 years old, is a 6-foot, 200-pound goaltender. He was considered one of the most promising goaltenders a few seasons ago.

Moving on to another goaltender signing, the New York Islanders have just announced the signing of young Jakub Skarek.
It's interesting to note that this is a two-year contract with an annual value of $775,000.
Skarek, 23 years old, is a 6-foot-4, 205-pound goaltender. He was one of the top young goaltenders in his draft class.
