Islanders Face Real Competition for Anders Lee

The Islanders are staring at a familiar kind of summer tension, because Anders Lee is not the sort of name other teams ignore when the market starts to heat up. His situation has enough moving parts to make rival front offices at least kick the tires, and that is usually how a quiet rumor becomes a real conversation. New York would like this to stay simple, but the league rarely gives a team that kind of courtesy when a veteran forward is in play.
