Anytime.

Trades are allowed after the deadline, the only tidbit is that any players traded would not be eligible for the playoffs.

The trading usually picks up at the draft however.

Gotcha, thanks!

I don't know if I can do another season of Weight and Friends.

This team has given up 5 or more goals one/third of the season. That in itself is criminal.

False! It's only been 28.37% of the season! It's not like we're getting killed out there.

Doug Weight sat Pulock for Seidenberg 14 times this year. That alone should get him fired.

sabremike · Mar 24, 2018

He pretty much has to go. He is seriously in the conversation for worst head coach in league history with the likes of Pierre or Johnny Mac. If he isn't fired season ticket holders should sue the team for refunds, but I am very confident he is gone shortly after the season ends.

The new GM should decide who the new coach is IMO
Get garth the F outta here

Yup, keep Weight away from the PP. The PK too. Really, most hockey-related stuff. And no clipboards for Cappy. Actually, maybe we should just go in another direction entirely. If we're going to clean house, let's fumigate the place and get rid of all of the stench of the last 12 years.

I recall some loving the decision to keep Doug Weight on as full-time coach. They eat up all the culture change/new blood crap that Doug Weight was gonna infuse into the Islanders from behind the bench. Meanwhile, some of us saw right through that crap. We were well aware that Weight had been the assistant head coach and player here for the last 10 plus years and he wasn't changing anything. That right there shows you how stupid Garth Snow and company thinks Isles fans really are. That they think they can take a guy that had been part of the problem for well over 10 years and tell you he is gonna be the fixer.

Staple noted in his latest Q&A that there is actually a chance that Weight could stay on for next season because it would require L&M to eat 5 total contracts (Weight, Richardson, Buchberger, Cronin, Gomez).

You aren't getting any reputable head coach in here if they can't hand pick their own assistants.

If there is any truth to that than the idea that they are slumlord owners in the mold of Wang, Gluckshmuck and Millstupid and Gang of 4 is 100% correct.

Why the hell would an unproven coaching staff get multi year deals?

Wouldn't we only have to keep paying them as long as they don't take other jobs in the NHL??

Some might take time off but some of the other guys might want to get with a new org ASAP..

Don't know the answer to that.

That was my thinking. Can't imagine they received anything longer than two year deals, but we've also seen that DiPietro contract recently enough...

It's the Islander way.

Isles75 · Mar 25, 2018

Sometimes in business you realize your gonna have to take a hit either way. Now or later, A loss is a loss either way and you move on the wiser. The new owners have to decide how much of a loss they want to take. Paying Garth Snow and his cronies to take a permanent vacation on them anywhere but here, might be the wiser move to mitigate the damage going foward.

Garth snow and all of his friends need to be shown the door ASAP.

Eat those contracts now or take a hit at the box office for years to come.

I agree. It’s a no brainer.

Weight and his legion of guys have no business running a show in the NHL

sabremike · Mar 25, 2018

Everybody knows

Doug Weight can't coach in this league

Fire him for Christ's sake

Lek · Mar 26, 2018

I keep getting that sickly feeling that we are not going to see any changes.....god i hope i am wrong.

How could that happen? Seriously, how could anyone look at this season and say "This is fine"? Even the absolute dumbest fans can see that the dreadful historically bad coaching sunk the team lower than whale turd. L&M aren't stupid, they clearly have to see that because they'd have to be dumber than a bag of rocks not to. Bet on a housecleaning.

Seeing that the changes need to be made and actually wanting to do it/having money to do it are two different things.

But yeah, it's crazy that with the year our offence had (even with the first line slump at the most inconvienent time) we're so f***ed it's not even funny. Nowhere near the playoffs with two 80 points players. I thought having that really good second center is going to make things better, but we see the results and this season is so unbelievably frustraiting I wonder how these people kept their jobs until now.

When God needs a loan he goes to Malkin (Who is the money man). He could find the money to make everyone go away under his couch.
