It's a 5-year contract worth 20.5 million.

Pretty good signing by the Islanders. Streit is an underrated defenseman that will chip in a lot of points from the blueline, so he should help the Islanders' WEAK power play a lot by being the 'QB' on the point. With guys like Campbell and Redden in the same free-agent pool, I think a lot of people are over-looking Streit, but he's pretty good, and isn't getting grossly overpaid like Campbell is - so he's a very good secondary option for a team like the Isles that missed out on the "top guns".
