News from Around the AHL/NHL/KHL 2023-24

There are a few factors at play here, not all of them the fault of teams searching for new GMs or team presidents. Snow has been out of the league since Lou Lamoriello dismissed him five years ago and five years is a long time to be out of the game. It’s partly due to the golden parachute that firing triggered, a parting gift from Charles Wang, the mercurial Islanders owner who hired Snow straight out of being the team’s backup goalie. When Wang sold the Islanders to Scott Malkin in 2016, he added a clause to Snow’s contract that provided a five-year payout if he was let go.

So it wasn't a lifetime extension, but a parting gift that would f*** whoever decided to fire him for five years. Why couldn't I have been friends with Wang?

Rick DiPietro should have introduced you to Wang.

According to my calculations, Snow's 5 years ends in a couple of weeks.

He's going to have to shave and buy pants with zippers.

Now we know Garth donated the last year of his golden parachute money to Staple

 

[Big L]

I can’t believe Staple reads HF boards

Toronto should contact Garth Snow, I don’t think he has much going on. He built this isles roster in to a contender.

Friday 5:12 pm. Stape must have thought I was serious.

It looks like the Flames have selected their new GM, and their management structure as well.

You weren’t loyal enough to Wang. Snow was paid for being loyal.

You hate to see the Hockey Gods righting a first round wrong. You just absolutely hate to see it

Lol, while it might have worked out for Snow, just be thankful you weren't on the Sanjay Kumar side of the friends' ledger!

That is awesome, suck it Hurricanes!

Looks like Krapsoft bolted back to the KHL: Bye Krapsoft

I am shocked that a guy who is apparently allergic to the gym and needs a broken play or about about five feet of free space in front of the net to score, can't make it in the NHL. Shocked I tell you!

Snow would have been a better option than Conroy being guided by Nonis. What has Nonis ever done without Burke holding his hand.

Yeah Kumar took the fall, no blood on Wang's hands.

I guess Kumar was in charge of P.L.E.A.S.E. or Provide Legal Exculpation and Sign Everything.

Wang didn’t use email and never put anything in writing. So the feds had no case against him.

Congrats Kyle.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

How the hell is Kyle Okposo 35?

 

[doublechili]

Who drafted Okposo - Smith or Snow? I want to say Smith during his 40 days....
