Islanders sign Alexander Romanov to 8-year deal on eve of NHL free agency; Wild trade for Vladimir Tarasenko
The Minnesota Wild got a two-time Stanley Cup champion for nothing on the eve of NHL free agency, and the New York Islanders locked up one of their top young players to a long-term contract. The Wild acquired winger Vladimir Tarasenko from the Detroit Red Wings for future considerations. The Islanders re-signed defenseman Alexander Romanov to an eight-year contract that a person with knowledge of the extension said is worth $50 million. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because terms were not disclosed. Romanov will count $6.25 million against the salary cap through the 2032-33 season. Tarasenko, 33, has one year left on his contract at a salary cap hit of $4.75 million. He helped Florida win the Cup last year after being a key part of St. Louis' championship run in 2019. The Utah Mammoth also traded young forward Matias Maccelli to Toronto for a conditional 2027 third-round pick. It turns into a second-rounder in 2029 if Maccelli has 51-plus points and the Maple Leafs make the playoffs next season. 'We appreciate everything that Matias has done for the organization,' Utah general manager Bill Armstrong said. 'He is a great person, consummate professional, and we wish him all the best.' The moves came with the league awaiting what happens with Leafs pending free agent Mitch Marner and who the back-to-back defending champion Panthers are able to bring back between Brad Marchand and Aaron Ekblad. They already re-signed Conn Smythe Trophy winner Sam Bennett to an eight-year, $64 million contract.

Islanders re-sign Alexander Romanov to 8-year, $50 million extension
Fresh off walking away with No. 1 overall pick Matthew Schaefer at the 2025 NHL Draft, the New York Islanders continued their offseason business by locking down defenseman Alexander Romanov on an eight-year extension, the team announced Monday. The new contract is worth $50 million total and carries a $6.25 million average annual value, league sources told The Athletic's Chris Johnston. Advertisement It is a major commitment for a key blueliner by the Islanders after new general manager Mathieu Darche traded right-shot defenseman Noah Dobson to the Montreal Canadiens for forward Emil Heineman and the Nos. 16 and 17 picks in this year's draft. Dobson, who was a restricted free agent, joined the Canadiens on an eight-year, $9.5 million AAV extension. Romanov, 25, is a strong defender who played alongside Dobson on the Islanders' top pair. He has been with the Islanders for three seasons, registering four goals and 20 points in 2024-25 while averaging 22:18 of ice time and leading all Isles defensemen in blocked shots (165) and hits (147). Okay deal for Alex Romanov, though getting under $6M would've been ideal. He's grown into a reliable second pair defenseman and should stay at that level for a while. — dom 📈 (@domluszczyszyn) June 30, 2025 A second-round pick by Montreal in 2018, Romanov spent his first two seasons with the Canadiens before being moved to the Islanders in a 2022 three-way trade with Chicago. With its extra two first-round picks Friday from the Dobson trade, New York selected right wing Victor Eklund and defenseman Kashawn Aitcheson. Frankly, after moving Dobson, the Islanders needed to get this done. While Schaefer will do whatever possible to make the opening-night lineup, he's only turning 18 in September and it would be a massive and unfair ask for him to become a No. 1 defenseman overnight. The Isles need Romanov's steadying, hard-minutes presence on a Dobson-less blue line. The defensive corps still has Ryan Pulock, Adam Pelech and Scott Mayfield all under contract for at least the next four seasons — but all are age 30 or older. This extension for Romanov covers what would have been two of his RFA seasons and six UFA years. The amount is in line with what shutdown defenders are getting paid — Jaccob Slavin ($6.46 million AAV) and Gustav Forsling ($5.75 million AAV) are the gold standards in both ability and cost efficiency — and while the hip-checking Romanov doesn't have the offensive upside of others, the Islanders have locked up a reliable long-term piece for his prime years. I'm not really enamored by most 8 year deals, outside of the super elite class, but I like this one for the NYI. Romanov is coming off a solid season when the team around him was pretty crappy. Curious how he'll look without Dobson on Long Island, but I like the bet enough. — Shayna (@shaynagoldman_) June 30, 2025 According to PuckPedia, following the Romanov signing, the Islanders have roughly $14.69 million in available cap space entering Tuesday's start of free agency.
