Drafted
2025 round 3 #74 overall by New York Islanders

A transition forward, first and foremost, he can catch a puck in his zone and take it all the way to the offensive end, outracing defenders and dangling under sticks. Once he breaks in, Romano cuts inside, kicking pucks wide to teammates, and driving the net or firing while keeping his feet moving. He fights for rebounds along the walls, displaying advanced physical abilities that enable him to win battles despite his average size. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
