The Islanders have placed Anders Lee on long-term injury reserve.
This move means that Lee will miss at least the next 10 games for Islanders.
Arthur Staple suggested that the Lee injury could conceivably move the Islanders to the front of the line of trade deadline buyers. He mentions Taylor Hall, Kyle Palmieri, Nick Foligno, Mikael Granlund and Rickard Rakell as possibilities.
