In his weekly “31 Thoughts” column at SportsNet, Elliotte Friedman shared that “Matt Martin’s extension hasn’t been announced, but word is that it’s a bit of a surprise — reflective of the loyalty the Islanders feel to him.”
Arthur Staple followed that report with additional information, reporting the deal will be for four years at $1.5 million AAV.
Further to @FriedgeHNIC post on Matt Martin’s surprising new deal with #Isles:
Hearing it’s four years in the $1.5-million AAV range. Certainly would keep MM here for the rest of his NHL career.
