Islanders' Matt Martin: Contract longer than expected

Martin signed a four-year, $6 million contract with the Islanders in December 2020, Arthur Staple of The Athletic reports.

It was originally thought that Martin had only signed for one year, but that's evidently not the case and explains why Martin signed so early in free agency without shopping his services around. The four-year contract almost certainly assures that Martin will end his career as an Islander.
