According to the Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta, the New York Islanders and captain Anders Lee are having conversations about a long-term contract extension.
Negotiations between Anders Lee’s agent, Neil Sheehy and the Islanders (Lou Lamoriello) have been ongoing for almost a month now according to Pagnotta’s report.
Which is outstanding on a number of fronts. None more important than getting a deal done and signed well before Anders Lee is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st. Being this advanced in the negotiations bodes well.
