Islanders’ Adam Pelech signs eight-year contract extension
NY Post
The Islanders have locked up the pillar of their defense to a long-term deal.
Adam Pelech signed an eight-year, $46 million contract, the team announced Friday morning. The 26-year-old defenseman has emerged as a stalwart on the backend for head coach Barry Trotz, quickly becoming one of the most important players on the team. He is a top stay-at-home defenseman — arguably the best in the NHL — on a team that has given up the fewest amount of goals in the league (506) over the last three seasons.More Related News
