The New York Islanders still haven’t re-signed captain Anders Lee and goalie Robin Lehner. Both are now able to talk with other teams on a potential deal. Both want to stay with the Islanders, but nothing seems to be happening.
And according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Freidman, that means the New York Islanders are chasing unrestricted free agents and former Columbus Blue Jackets teammates Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky.
While being linked to Panarin makes sense for the New York Islanders, being linked to goalie Sergei Bobrovsky doesn’t make any sense at all.
