2019-03-29	analysis		Under the best of circumstances, Seidenberg was unlikely to play for the Islanders, as he was no better than the team's eighth defenseman, and that was before the team called up Devon Toews and saw how well he could play. Seidenberg will be 38 years of age this summer and if he wishes to continue his NHL career, it will likely be with a team other than the Islanders.
2019-03-29	update		Seidenberg has yet to play a game with the Islanders despite signing a contract Feb. 26.

2019-01-12	analysis		Seidenberg has been the definition of a break glass in case of emergency player. At this point it would seem the only way he gets into a game is if the Isles were to lose two defensemen during the morning skate and not have anytime to recall someone from Bridgeport of the AHL.

2018-11-25	analysis		Seidenberg was in training camp with the Islanders as insurance against injury and signed his latest professional tryout contract on Nov. 2.

2018-11-02	analysis		Seidenberg signed a similar deal with the Islanders during training camp, but he was unable to secure an Opening Night roster spot with the club.

2018-09-07	analysis		Seidenberg spent last season with the Islanders, suiting up in 28 games for the team and recording five points, all assists. The 37-year-old defender has quickly gone from everyday defender to roster depth, and will only rarely see the ice if he converts this PTO into a full-time contract.

2018-09-01	analysis		The German spent the past two seasons with the Isles, adding five goals and 22 assists over 101 games. Given that Seidenberg is 37 years old, it's safe to deduce that he's drawing close to retirement, but his presence at the informal skate suggests that he's at least contemplating playing at least one more season. Still, there hasn't been any official word that he's signed a PTO with New York.
