Veteran winger Jonathan Drouin has agreed to a two-year deal with the New York Islanders worth $4 million annually.
Drouin, who was the No. 3 pick of the 2013 NHL draft, had spent the past two seasons with the Colorado Avalanche, where he was reunited with former Halifax Mooseheads teammate Nathan MacKinnon as he was trying to help the Avs win their second title since 2022.
The Avs signed Drouin to a one-year deal worth $825,000 that would see him score 19 goals and a career-high 56 points in 79 games for the Avs, who were eliminated in the second round by the Dallas Stars.
