Today could be the day the Islanders and captain Anders Lee say goodbye after 14 seasons and 923 games together.

Such is reality in the NHL when you gotta make room for 15-points-at-age-35 Ondrej Palat.
As NHL free agency officially kicked off, word was that Lee was headed to market. Maybe, if whatever his definitely-not-tampering agent tells him is out there fails to emerge, he’ll come back to the Isles after all.
Or maybe he’ll sign with the Wild.
