The massive 15-year contract the New York Islanders gave Rick DiPietro over the summer was met with a strong reaction from many in the hockey world, but imagine how the other goaltenders in the team's system felt.
Guys like Wade Dubielewicz.
He spent about eight weeks on Long Island last season and got into seven NHL games. Even though Dubielewicz had no illusions of becoming the team's starter this season, DiPietro's contract all but guarantees that he'll never hold that job - barring something unforeseen like a serious injury to DiPietro.
