I’ll go more in-depth on the signing in a future article but as a note, I really like this deal for the Islanders. The cap hit is very reasonable, while Pelech gets maximum security with the eight-year term. At just 26 years old, Pelech should remain at the top of his game for the foreseeable future and it’s great to see him staying with the team long-term.
