Over the next few weeks, the New York Islanders will try to sign their pending UFA’s before they hit the open market on July 1. Robin Lehner and Anders Lee are definitely candidates to get re-signed, that was expected.
What is a little unexpected is the Islanders haven’t closed the door on Jordan Eberle. According to David Pagnotta, the Islanders are keeping in contact with Eberle discussing the possibility of an extension.
When the Islanders decided to make Anders Lee captain before the season it was assumed that Eberle would be the odd man out of the free agent bunch.
