Lou has his cup rings and legend, probably one of the few gm's not afraid to hire Saint Patrick. As they said on the Isles board, say goodbye to the country club.
One thing is certain — St. Patrick will single-handedly monopolize the attention of all Quebec pundits, bloggers and call-in shows leading up to Thurs. Jan 25th when the Isles will be in town.

And beyond, the guy is an attention magnet.

well he better like the roster he has because there are a lot of big unmovable contracts there. Pelech, Anders Lee, Pageau etc etc..

its an odd roster with very little upside there.
Roy’s deep knowledge of the Q is going to play big for the Isles at the draft.

I wonder who he brings in as assistants — probably will just work with existing personnel for now.

Think Babcock's psychopathic mind games and bullying but without the competence. Guy would have been the worst possible choice for a rebuilding team.
I’m just looking at it from an entertainment perspective and whether his fiery temper will play out. Whether he bombs or not or calls out slackers, it’s going to be fun to watch.
