What happened to Chris?

I think he's a supposed cap guru.

Well, it is a Tuesday so we get some news. Hopefully the first of other announcements. I'm hoping we name our new head coach.

 

[BTrotts19]

Don't know anything about the guy but if Lou Lams wants him in-house, I say good move. Obviously HC/Assistants, potential GM, and scouts seem like more pressing matters for non-player transactions but I trust Lou's process.....#InLouWeTrust

Here is a good article from some years back about how Steve handles finances.

Step one to Lou giving someone on our roster the Lupul treatment lol.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Sounds good. Gotta wrangle out of the Ladd deal somehow. Maybe he hurts himself wrestling wild reptiles in the offseason or something.

Steve was the devils cap guy under Lou. He was basically the one that structured the Kovalchuk contract that the league went after

What happened to Chris?

Nothing wrong with having 2 AGMs.

Nope. Looking into this, the new guy is going to help meander around the cap.

Does being the Cap guy automatically make him the Contract guy as well?

There's also Claude Loiselle, Kerry Gwydir and whatever role Snow has. That's five "assistants" to Lou. Crowded front office...

As opposed to the ghost town the front office has been for the last few years.

And I doubt that Snow will have any involvement with hockey ops. They're basically paying him to ask him where the coffee filters are in the office kitchen.

That's because the battery died.

Should have chipped in that extra dollar for the solar powered backup one.

GM by committee. I hear it’s the wave of the future.

This has been the best 30 days as an Islander fan in over a decade. If I had a heart I'd probably cry.

Wasn't this task farmed out to Hofstra?

What happened to Chris?

Chris isn’t exactly ‘fleet of mind’.

Driving Dad to work everyday and parking his calls was really all he could do.

This light feeling that the isles organisation is moving in the right direction, is a pretty nice feeling.

I just hope Lou can close the deal with Tavares. Not only because we have a stronger team with Tavares on it, but also because of how distressed the Canadian fanboys in the media are over the news Tavares is working on an extension.

Not crowded at all

Lou has the big office, Snow is sitting on a milk crate next to the loading dock playing angry birds on his phone.

Why are you posting One Direction boy band photos here? Oh wait....never mind.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Have there been any rumblings (besides Conte) about some of LL’s ppl he’s going to bring in, or whether he plans to expand the staff?

Think this is a real important area; as NYI could use improvement in the drafting dept. Drafting is the core of team building; and they’ve missed on a lot of picks.
