Bo Horvat has a long-term deal with his new team before even making his debut.

The New York Islanders signed the 27-year-old to an eight-year extension, the team announced Sunday. The financial terms weren't disclosed.

New York acquired Horvat six days ago in a blockbuster deal with the Vancouver Canucks. The Islanders sent Anthony Beauvillier, Aatu Raty, and a top-12 protected first-round pick to the Canucks in the trade.

Horvat is in the midst of a career season. His 31 goals are tied for eighth in the NHL and already match his output from 2021-22. He has 54 points through 49 contests and is set to blow past his previous career high of 61 points in the 2018-19 campaign.
