NEW YORK -- The Islanders have searched forever for someone to boost their offense. Last week, they finally landed one in Bo Horvat in a blockbuster trade with the Vancouver Canucks.
And on Sunday, they did what the fan base was clamoring for by signing him to an eight-year extension.

Though the dollar amount was not immediately released, reports indicated Horvat will receive on average $8.5 million per season.
Bo Horvat’s 8-year, $68 million extension with #isles does not include any signing bonus - certainly a rarity now with deals of that stature.
