On Friday, an arbitrator awarded New York Islanders winger Trent Hunter $1,550,000 for the 2007-08 season.
Hunter, 27, scored 20 goals and added 15 assists last season with the Islanders, while ranking second on the team with 246 hits.
Hunter was seeking $1.9-million in arbitration. He earned $1-million last season and the Islanders, who have plenty of room under the salary cap, have accepted the ruling.
"Letting Trent go was never a consideration for us," said Islanders general manager Garth Snow. "He's an important piece to our team; that was never up for debate. We're glad he'll be in an Islanders uniform in September."

wow, that's a pretty big number for him.

Isles showing some stones and sticking with a player that has really played his heart off for them. Too be honest that's not an obscene amount of money, just a bigger # than I anticipated for him

You really think that that's a pretty big number for him. I would say thats rather cheap compared to what some of the others are getting paid. Trent Hunter is a good talented Kid.
