Nabbed in Round 3
Romano was the 74th overall pick by the Islanders in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Romano is a good skater and is likely to remain a long-term center, making him a worthy selection at this point of the draft. His 25-goal, 51-point showing over 67 regular-season games for OHL Kitchener in 2024-25 wasn't overly impressive, but it was an improvement over his 22-point display in 2023-24. Still, as a late June birthday, Romano has a bit of extra runway compared to some other draft-eligible prospects. His playmaking skills need work, but his speed can take over, and he could develop into a reliable depth option for the Islanders down the middle.

Passing eye test at camp
Romano is impressing at training camp Thursday, per Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.
ANALYSIS
Romano will need to continue to impress in order to make the Opening Night roster. It's possible the Isles give their third-round draft pick a chance to play in some NHL contests before moving him back to OHL Kitchener for the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign. It's a long-term plan for fantasy managers when it comes to Romano, but it might be one worth considering.
