The 23-year-old forward, a 2019 seventh-round pick, lands a deal worth up to $775,000 after playing for the Ontario Reign the past two seasons.
Andre Lee, seen playing for the University of Massachusetts-Lowell against Arizona State on Oct. 3, 2021, in Tempe, Ariz., has agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings. The Kings have re-signed forward Andre Lee to a one-year, two-way contract worth as much as $775,000, the club shared in a news release on Wednesday.
Lee completed his second full season and third overall with the Kings’ top minor-league affiliate, the Ontario Reign, notching 13 points in 36 games and four points in eight playoff appearances. At 6-foot-5 and firmly above 200 pounds, Lee projects as a checker whose energy and physicality will likely be what open doors for the 2019 seventh-rounder. He produced respectable if not impressive offense at lower levels of competition, but his minor pro career to date suggests he will have to make it as a bottom-six banger to reach the big show.
He joins Akil Thomas and Quinton Byfield among Black players in the Kings’ organization. Thomas made his NHL debut with the Kings last season, notching three goals and an assist in seven games, while Byfield enjoyed a breakout campaign, highlighted by a four-month stretch in which he scored 40 points.
