The New York Islanders sign defenseman Logan Stanley to a contract for this season. He joins the team for practice, according to Yahoo Sports.
Stanley is joining a roster with an eye toward adding depth on the blue line. Yahoo Sports reports he had NHL experience split between the Winnipeg Jets, Buffalo Sabres, and playoff action with Buffalo, after appearing in 76 regular-season games last season and skating in eight additional games in the playoffs.
The available reports describe the move largely in terms of roster reinforcement and Stanley’s readiness to join the Islanders immediately. The Winnipeg Free Press item likewise characterizes the signing as a contract for the current season, without providing additional distinct details in the information provided here.
