Islanders’ Lee wins King Clancy Memorial Trophy

New York Islanders captain Anders Lee was named the 2024 recipient of the NHL's King Clancy Memorial Trophy on Tuesday.

The honor is given to "the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community."

All 32 teams submit a nominee for the award. Lee has been a finalist in six of the past seven seasons.

Lee has been involved with the Jam Kancer in the Kan Foundation, among others, since 2017 and raised $155,000 for the cause in 2023.

Seguin relishing Cup chase after long stretch of injuries

Dallas Stars veteran Tyler Seguin is making the most of his club's pursuit of the Stanley Cup this spring after changing his perspective as a veteran player who's had his share of ups and downs.

"I think it takes time to get to this point," Seguin told NHL.com's Mike Zeisberger. "I think there was a period of time where you are fighting your ego, thinking of what you deserve. And at a certain point, you have to understand what is more important: What you think you deserve or what you think makes the team better.

"I had to look at myself and say: 'What do I want?' I mean, I've made money. I have a great home life. I'm married now. In the end, what I really want is to share the experiences that I had back when I was a kid, with this group of guys."

Seguin said his mindset shifted during the 2020-21 season when he was limited to only three games as he rehabbed significant knee and hip injuries.

"Those were dark times," Seguin said. "I'm not sure if retirement was a real possibility but you have different thoughts. 'Can I play again? If so, at what level?' I think a lot of athletes go through that with surgeries and setbacks.

He continued, "That was a pinpoint of my career and life. I'd just gone through back-to-back surgeries and had six months of sitting on my butt, not really having a good support system. It was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel."

Seguin has been mostly healthy over the last three campaigns and has been one of Dallas' most productive players this postseason. He has 12 points in 16 games as the Stars sit two wins from reaching the Stanley Cup Final.

Dallas acquired Seguin from the Boston Bruins - with whom he won a championship in 2011 - prior to the 2013-14 campaign. He's racked up 667 points in 766 games over 11 seasons with the Stars, and he has three years left on his current contract.

Marchessault, Golden Knights yet to discuss new contract

Forward Jonathan Marchessault expressed his disappointment with the lack of contract talks he's held with the Vegas Golden Knights.

"I did not have a call or anything yet," Marchessault said, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal's David Schoen. "They said they were interested to definitely re-sign me, and we'll see. Technically, they have time until June 30, so we'll see how it goes."

Marchessault, 33, paced the Golden Knights with 42 goals and 69 points this season. He won the Conn Smythe Trophy last spring after accruing 13 goals and 25 points in 22 playoff games en route to Vegas' first Stanley Cup triumph.

"The Golden Knights, they want to be good every year, so they're probably looking at all their options and probably checking what's out there, and we'll see where it brings us," Marchessault added.

Marchessault signed a six-year contract with a $5-million cap hit in 2018 with Vegas. He's set to be among the top unrestricted free agents on July 1.

A member of the Golden Knights since their inaugural campaign in 2017-18, Marchessault said he wanted to sign an extension before the season.

"(Vegas) said they're not ready to do that, and after there's not even a single talk that happened during the season," Marchessault said. "I don't know. Technically, as an organization, you sign the player for six years, so you have the full six years, and after you can deal with it. So we'll see."

Marchessault said earlier in May that he hopes to be with the Golden Knights for the rest of his life.

Evolving Hockey projects Marchessault to ink a three-year pact with a $6.1-million cap hit if he re-signs before July 1.

The Golden Knights have about $5.9 million in cap space entering the offseason with Robin Lehner's cap hit on long-term injured reserve, according to CapFriendly.
