Stanley fills that hole and brings them some much-needed size on the backend.
The 6-foot-8 defenseman skated in 76 regular season games with the Jets and Sabres last season, then appeared in eight more during the playoffs with Buffalo.
His game his built around his size, but he did chip in more offensively last year.
Stanley started the year on a career-best pace, producing 21 of his 26 points over 59 games with Winnipeg .
He'll likely be a step or two behind to start the season having signed so close to Opening Night, but could slide right into their defensive rotation once he gets fully up to speed.
New York opens their season Wednesday night against the Leafs.
