A lot of teams ended up locking up some of their free agents and restricted free agents yesterday, leaving only a couple of players available for today.
One player that ended up signing, was someone that the Boston Bruins were in very serious in acquiring via a trade.

Leading up to the NHL Draft, the Boston Bruins and New York Islanders were in serious talks about a trade involving Romanov.
Not only the Bruins, but the Philadelphia Flyers were as well.

The New York Islanders were seriously interested in acquiring the Boston Bruins 7th overall draft pick, but the Bruins ultimately ended up holding on to it, drafting James Hagens.
Romanov was a restricted free agent, and in 64 games last year for the Islanders he scored 4 goals, 16 assists for 20 points.
Romanov is a hard hitting defenseman, that has some positive upside offensively, it will be interesting to see how this contract ends up working out for the Islanders.
