The Islanders signed defenseman Alexander Romanov to an eight-year contract extension. How did both sides fare in the deal?

Dobson then promptly signed an eight-year, $76 million contract with the Canadiens. Romanov, at 25 the same age as Dobson, is a physical whirlwind who has shown some flashes offensively and was coming off a three-year, $7.5 million deal.

The New York Islanders have been busy this offseason with general manager (GM) Mathieu Darche making a few signings. The change of pace from the Lou Lamoriello era is hard to keep up with.
