New York Islanders: Lamoriello Contract Not Renewed; John Collins Searching for Next GM

[Kevin27nyi]

I could live with it. He seems like a smart enough analyst. Has been working with different GMs and agents for years now.

I disagree. I like him as a person and analyst but don’t see the experience you do.

 

[Lights911]

Thank you Lou.

Maybe I am just feeling drunk off a Post-Lou glow-up.

If we get Kevin Weekes I’m gonna be furious.

Poaching AGM on successful franchises is my wish.

I only want Weekes if he comes with someone like a Holland as an advisor type figure. I think my preference would be to have one of those Dinosaur types around for extra muscle, but have a younger guy building the team for the future

Also, why John Collins?

He has an extensive list of contacts in the league.

lol I get it but I’m not a grass is greener guy.

Even if someone wanted to have the hardest slant against Lou as possible, I watched my team go from the best coaches they could get of Scott Gordon to Jack Cap to Doug Weight to Trotz, Lambert and Patrick Roy. Attracting an over seas player like Tsyplakov. Even John Collins into the fold. The most success I’ve seen as a fan. The best facilities in the league. All under Lou. Yes malkin and Ledecky but also under Lou.

Not saying I didn’t want to move on either but keeping an open mind that this could also be a downgrade too.

I could be swayed in that scenario.

I think some successful teams like Vegas or Colorado had good successors in McFarland and McCrimmon. Idk who those guys are that are out there right now but those types of guys are who I’d like.

As much as I think Roy is good head coach I do believe the new GM should have a say in who the head coach is.

 

[Glorydays22]

I'd go after - Scott White - Dallas Asst GM or Florida -Greg Campbell - Asst GM

Come get the Stanley Cup, GM Josh Bailey!

I'm hoping the next GM is willing to ask players with NTCs to waive them.

BREAKING: Matt Martin has been named General Manager and President of Hockey Operations for the New York Islanders. Josh Bailey will oversee all Bridgeport operations as the farm organization transitions into a chain manufacturing facility.

 

[JJ18Sniper]

I'm wondering if they are going to hire the president position as well.

 

[seabass45]

Still such a wasted opportunity at the deadline thanks to Lou and ownership. Should have moved Lee, Palmieri and Pageau at the deadline, it was such a sellers market.

There's not as much of an appetite to take on longer contracts at the deadline, teams want more flexibility going into the new year.

But in keeping up with the Lamoriello tradition, Bridgeport will install an MRP system instead of an ERP . . .

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Hallelujah!

 

[Strummergas]

He can draft in rounds 4-6

No, he can f*** right off.

 

[miscs75]

Come get the Stanley Cup, GM Josh Bailey!

The 4% of Bailey haters would become Rags fans if he became the GM and led us to the cup

 

[Symon Asher]

All i gots to say is goodbye white board Johnny Mac

 

[Glory Days]

Thanks Lou for all you did but it was time to say goodbye.

I hope the Isles keep the fax machine!

I hope the Isles keep the fax machine!

They will if they can find the proper wax paper roll

IMO 2 headed monster is the way to go. No one gives a f*** about Collins and the Browns still suck. Get a guy with cache to mentor a qualified first time GM. Best of both worlds.

Agreed, and would also like to add that Brian Boyle is a scumbag (but not really, you know what I mean).
