New York Islanders Anders Lee Looking Like a Permanent Fixture
The New York Islanders named Anders Lee their team captain right before the start of the season. In addition, the Isles are progressing on a new long-term deal with Lee.
It appeared the New York Islanders were going to enter the season without a team captain. Word was the Isles would go with three alternates instead. Lou Lamoriello and Barry Trotz decided that Anders Lee was the right person to be the 15th captain in the franchises’ history.
Humble Beginnings
Lee had to work very hard and earn everything he has received so far in his hockey career. When one is a 6th round pick (2009 Draft, 152nd Overall) that is always going to be the case.
