The 2024-2025 NHL season was a disappointing season for many of the Islanders, but one bright spot was the overall play of Anders Lee.
Before last season, Lee began training with Adam Oates, and it immediately paid off. I believe Lee had one of his most consistent years, while his legs and speed bursts looked better than ever. His skating ability took a massive leap this past season, which gives him another edge when it comes to winning loose puck battles. Lee is coming off a 29-goal, 25-assist, 54-point season while being a +3.
