This year's a good year to be an expiring defenseman. Esa Lindell has more offense than Plech yet most complain it's not a great contract.

Good deal for a solid defensive defenseman with some offensive upside.

Ryan Lindgren and other Defensive-Defensemen in the league are licking their lips right now.

In all seriousness, the term’s a little long, but overall good contract.

Already one of the 10 best contracts in the NHL. What a STEAL.

Likely the best deal of the off season. From what we've seen from him so far is that he will continue to be an elite shutdown defenseman for years to come. I'm impressed with Lou here. Normally he gives vets too much money.

Wow, that's a big contract. Going to have to sign Pulock to more than this next year.

Even if 8 years is a long deal for a 27 y/o (in few days) player, Pelech is well worth this deal in the next few years.

He might not be worth this AAV at the end of the deal, but it gives NYI a nice window to be contender for a couple of years.

This is an absolute steal by Lou Lamiorello. To get Pelech locked up this long for only a 5.75 AAV is great for the Islanders. Pelech needs a new agent.

Pelech is one of the best, if not the best shutdown man in the league, and still is paid less than Johnny Boychuk, what a win for Lou

Are you suggesting Lindell>Pelech?

My hope is that this drags down the price of defenseman extensions.

Looking at comments, I guess I didn't pay enough attention to NYI, that's a steep price for a defensive D man

It's hard to judge where the contract value can be for Defensive D, but Pelech is one of the very best in the league. Definitely brings 5.75mil in value.

I saw 7x7 flying around like hot cakes for this contract, so in context it sure seems like a team friendly signing. Doesnt pelech also have a 1.000 save % in the playoffs as well? 😉

I'm not sure I'd call Pelech a true #1 defenseman, but it's still a solid contract for what he does.
