New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov has bypassed restricted free agency to sign an eight-year, $50 million contract extension. While Romanov has never managed more than 22 points in a season during his five-year NHL career, he is highly valued for his efforts on the defensive end. In 2024-25, Romanov racked up 165 blocks and 147 hits in 64 regular-season outings. The Russian rearguard contributed four goals and 16 assists on offense. Although limited offensively, Romanov logged over 22 minutes of ice time per game (22:18) and might have an even bigger role in 2025-26 after the Islanders traded Noah Dobson to the Montreal Canadiens.--Taavi Pailk
