The rest of the year he played for Bridgeport of the American Hockey League, where he posted 10 goals and 28 helpers in 48 contests.
"We're excited to have Frans locked up for the next four years," said Islanders general manager Garth Snow. "We know he is going to come to training camp in great shape and ready to compete for his spot on the team."
