Adam Pelech is due an extension at the end of 2020-21, what could the New York Islanders top defensive defenseman get?
Adam Pelech doesn’t get much respect around the league. The New York Islanders and their fans know very well how valuable the defensive defenseman is worth but outside of Long Island, he’s virtually unknown.
Without him on the Isles blueline, the whole system came crumbling down in the second half of 2019-20. But because Pelech is at best a 20 point player, he gets overlooked and undervalued by non Islanders fans and media.
