I guess it does extend a bit too far into his 30's, so maybe the term is longer than you'd like, but I'd much rather have this contract than a lot of the ones that have been handed out recently or are expected to be handed out before the season starts.

Lou Lamoriello is a future hall of famer in the builder category, so it's not surprising he made a great move.
But also, Werenski puts up twice as many points as Pelech, so it's not exactly apples to apples
Also, the Blue Jackets are looking rough, while the Islanders are arguably the second best team in the Eastern Conference, so the Islanders are a much more attractive destination
