With Brock Nelson under contract, the New York Islanders have to focus on getting free agents Anders Lee and Robin Lehner signed.
With the Buffalo Sabres extending Jeff Skinner for eight years and with a $9 million cap hit, what does that mean for the Anders Lee negotiations? Lee has seemingly always wanted a seven-year deal, but the Islanders aren’t comfortable doing so.
With Skinner getting eight years, does that move the negotiations with Lee into a longer-term deal? Or does it mean the AAV on the deal has to go higher?
Matt and I talk over the prospects of what Anders Lee getting seven years, how the team and their captain can compromise and we talk about who the Islanders can target if Lee doesn’t stay.
