Islanders Must Balance Loyalty & Reality With Anders Lee
The New York Islanders value Anders Lee’s leadership, but as free agency nears, balancing loyalty with contract reality will define his future.
The biggest question entering the offseason is what the New York Islanders plan to do with Anders Lee.
The soon-to-be 36-year-old, who has served as the captain since the start of the 2018-19 season, is a pending free agent after completing the final season of his seven-year deal worth $7 million annually.
Both sides want to reach an extension; that much seems true.
