Must win.
He would want to change the team name to New York Alpha with the α logo.
Because that's the kind of stupid shit he does.

PLEASE NOTE
-Sorry for Long post. Skip over it if its too long.
-sorry for misspellings
- sorry for grammer
- probably am reptitive as well
- i may be wrong on things below, let me know
No point of reply starting with “ whoa long post” “ you mispelled this” etc . I already covered that above for you
Here is my OPINION:
Lou as GM or Chris Lam if Lou retires
- Not sure how anyone thinks he has done a bad job.
- Every GM signs Bad Contracts. Lou made those 7 year contracts at lower dollar amount because everyone knew cap was going up and was able to retain players
Low buyout cost AAV
- Has kept team competitive.
- He trades first round picks. Fanboys love first round picks, they are overrated
- You trade a 1st round pick* if a young NHL player is available you think will an valuable asset to the team on the ice player except Top 10 in deep draft or Top 5 in week draft keep pick unless there is offer that can’t be refused
- we should unload our 1st in 2025 too. weak draft but some fans will cry when we do. which is why i will not be upset if we draft 17th bc it is a waste to give up on a season in a draft like this
- Drafts have be good with Lou ( dobson, homstrom, eisermen, nelson, finely, george and more) …we will address goalie peospects in this upcoming draft
- Hires Front Office Management that has hockey knowledge and experience
- Some of these players would not of resigned ( pageau, horvat, sorokin, barzal, romanov).
- Literally has kept team in the mix with injuries and smart waiver pick ups/small assets.
- Engval is the only “major” mistake he has made ( cheap buyout $1m per year for 10) and letting him take a roster spot
——-he did admit it was a mistake by waiving him but injuries have him back up.
—- it was a boom or bust signing .BUST it is
. But lets offset that with shipping out ladd.
- Many were upset when we traded for Romanov. Others knew this was a great trade.
- Facts back up alot but people ignore those ( teows had to be traded)
- He changed this team from being a Mickeymouse organization since 1993 to a respectable franchise in 1 day
- No one would ever come here until he came
- some say rebuild…..rebuild will never work. Retool does and we are slowly doing that while being competitive.
- Alot of you grew up with Milbury and Snow as GM which i find comical saying fire Lou. Some fans defended Snow till the end.
- He Is slowly rebuilding prospect pool while being competitve. Adding draft picks here and there.
- Will agree not trading Nelson or resigning will be a mistake but is what it is, no matter where we end up in the standings……still will want lou as GM
- My only management issue is having Maclean still running the PP as he did get that job bc of his NJD connection. But thats really only it and no one is perfect and he will be gone end of season but we all dealt with ( weight, gordon and capuano as HC)
- Lou is #2 GM in franchise history. We keep him till he steps down or he starts foaming at the mouth ( which he has not)
- every GM does things fans do not like, but his track record with NYI has been good
Maybe I am missing something that Lou should go but dont see it.
Could Possible be wrong on some of things above i wrote, let me know
Just my opinion.

At this point, I think Lou's final ride as general manager screams "we're ready to start adapting to the new NHL", which is good. These next few weeks will set up the tone for the next general manager. I hope that we take from the Capitals, Wild or Jets front offices. And if anything, lets keep adding more speed. This team is fun when they just start playing with speed and tenacity.
