Anders Lee signed a three-year, $16.2 million contract with the Utah Mammoth on Wednesday. It has an average annual value of $5.4 million.

The forward, who turns 36 on Friday, had 42 points (19 goals, 23 assists) in 82 games for the New York Islanders last season. He was captain since the start of the 2018-19 season.

"Anders is one of the most respected leaders in the NHL and we are very proud that he chose Utah," Mammoth general manager Bill Armstrong said. "He is one of the best net front players in the game and one of the most durable guys in the League. He will be a great fit on the ice for our young players and an even better role model off the ice as a past King Clancy Memorial Trophy winner. We look forward to introducing Anders into the community."

Lee ranks fifth in Islanders history in games (923), fourth in goals (308), and 10th in points (549) since being selected by New York in the sixth round (No. 152) of the 2009 NHL Draft.  He is a nine-time 20-goal scorer. 

Lee has 21 points (10 goals, 11 assists) in 46 Stanley Cup Playoff games. 

Also on Wednesday, the Mammoth acquired forward Vincent Trocheck from the New York Rangers for defenseman Sean Durzi, forward prospect Cole Beaudoin and a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft.
