"Anders Lee, who has captained the Islanders for the last eight seasons and ranks in the top five in both games played and goals, is a pending free agent this summer. He entered the final game of this playoff-less campaign still focused on the task at hand, which was to push these boys forward, while also wanting to enjoy the evening with the group."
"There have been no conversations yet between Lee's representation and first-year general manager Mathieu Darche about a potential new contract. Lee stated, 'This was always planned for, whether it was just gonna get taken care of later.'"
"New York's collapse to miss the playoffs, going 4-9-0 in their previous 13 games, confirmed that significant changes to the roster are nigh. Parting ways with Lee would remove the most important piece of the locker room's current culture."
