Utah Mammoth Add Anders Lee and Vincent Trocheck

The Mammoth signed Lee and traded for Trocheck to add inside scoring and veteran leadership as they push to advance beyond their first playoff appearance.

Overview

  • Utah formally introduced Anders Lee and Vincent Trocheck in Salt Lake City on Friday, July 10, confirming two major offseason additions to the roster.
  • Lee signed a three-year contract reported at $16.2 million total and will wear No. 72 after 14 seasons with the New York Islanders.
  • The Mammoth acquired Trocheck from the New York Rangers in a trade that sent defenseman Sean Durzi, prospect Cole Beaudoin and a 2027 third-round pick to New York.
  • Trocheck removed Utah from his modified no-trade list and said joining a team he believes can win, plus preexisting ties to teammates Logan Cooley and Clayton Keller, drove his decision.
  • General manager Bill Armstrong said the moves address Utah’s need for a stronger inside game and veteran experience as the club seeks to build on its first playoff berth and reach the next round.
