New York Islanders sign defenseman Logan Stanley

The New York Islanders have signed defenseman Logan Stanley to a one-year contract. The 28-year-old veteran, who stands 6’7” and has played nearly 300 NHL games, joins the team following a stint as an unrestricted free agent. Last season, Stanley recorded 26 points in 76 games while playing for the Buffalo Sabres and Winnipeg Jets.

In addition to the signing, the Islanders announced several roster moves. Defensemen Kashawn Aitcheson and Isaiah George, along with forward Cole Eiserman, have been reassigned to the AHL. Goaltender Vitek Vanecek has been placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment. The Islanders are scheduled to begin their season against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
