The New York Islanders have signed 30-year-old veteran Casey Cizikas to a six-year contract. The annual salary is $2.5 million.

According to James Nichols of The Hockey Writer, Cizikas turned down a $5 million-a-year deal from the Seattle Kraken. It's double his new contract. Nichols says Cizikas wants to win with the team that picked him in 2009.

Do you think it's a good deal?
