This right here is exactly why Lou Lamoriello said 'f--- them picks' and traded for Alexander Romanov. The Islanders saw how the New York Rangers ground their way to the Eastern Conference Final, and they wanted another guy who can crash and bang but also competently play hockey.

They got that in Romanov, he's been very physical this preseason, and he just lit up Rangers' center Vincent Trocheck.
It has not taken the Russian long to acclimate to the Islanders' group. He oozes the type of energy of which the Isles are composed, which is exactly why Lamoriello wanted him.
