Islanders Point Blank: Isles looking to hire top hockey executive

[And You Feel Shame]

LOL. I didn't even think about that! What about Chris Lamoriello's fiance? Where does she want to live?? Man, this is complicated.

I've heard the hold-up for Lou is that they are negotiating a "no billboard" clause.

 

[MJF]

Quick googling told me Chris is married to Vicki Movsessian (olympic winner 1998, ice hockey), and she is from Lexington massachussets. And quick googlemapping tells me Lexinton is 10 miles from Boston..... Think!

Lou ran Providence for years and years before he came to the NHL, his kid was born in New England, Snow went to Maine, Providence is in New England, Maine is in New England, our former coach is from Rhode Island. Connect the dots for yourselves.....

Snow will remain GM, Lamoriello is being hired because he’s from New England, and he’s being brought here to entice Jack Capuano back to the organization.

The Isles are so friggin incestuous

Maybe we can convince Jeff Vinik to give M&L a free counseling session!

Lightning Owner Jeff Vinik Discusses How He Turned Around a Struggling Franchise

SI: Is there a stylistic carryover between stocks and owning a pro sports team?
JV: Hire great people. I’ve definitely adopted a model of business dealings, which is hire great people, treat them as partners, not employees. Let them do their job, don’t mettle, and hold them accountable. Over the last 15 years, as I shut down my money management organization, gotten involved in more different businesses and obviously owning the Lightning, I think I’ve adopted that methodology of doing things.

If you don't yet understand how OWNERSHIP IS EVERYTHING in sports, then read this and understand why the Lightning are in a different class than the Islanders...

Please don't re-post in multiple threads like that.

On NHL tonight, blonde host asked Elliotte Friedman “OK, how about the Isles general manager position opening right now? Are you hearing anything on that front?”

And he just says “well they have the incumbent Garf Snow, but the Lou Lamoriello rumors just will not go away.”

I wasn’t aware the GM position was open.

Why do you care? The topic is as relevant as anything we could be discussing if you care about the success of the Isles.

@AndyGraz_WFAN

Was told tonight #isles have not spoken to Lou Lamoriello...also, it was made very clear to me at this time the owner you've never heard from is calling all the plays.

I think we can put this and re-signing Tavares to bed now. It has come out that they haven’t spoken to Lamoriello OR Tavares. L&M are Wang 2.0.

 

[Nosebleed40]

I think we can put this thread to rest. It has become obvious this team is really NOT looking for a new hockey executive. The current blowhard GM is gathering information from his top cronies and preparing for the draft. It's a pathetic and sad situation.

 

[SI90]

We’ve been hoodwinked folks. This is Wang all over again. Malkin is supposedly calling the shots and is mainly focused on the real estate deals and Belmont. Ledecky is nothing more than mascot that takes pictures with fans. Snow will remain in charge and fun hockey operations because he the “ expert “.

 

[Top Corner]

If anyone cares to look back to March 31/2017 post where my info was suggesting the new owners seemed to not want to disrespect Wang which was part of the reason
he needed to leave. He felt that the Isles were not really serious and to give him a call when they were. Remember this is March 2017. Fast forward to now and I suggest we dont
get hopes up about anything new & positive related to management

 

[Lame Lambert]

It’s obvious that these guys are total con artists. They took advantage of a passionate and beaten down fan base in order to get their real estate deal. They do not care about the team.

 

[Nosebleed40]

If the owners were serious about their product, Snow would have been tossed to the curb as soon as they took over as majority. The fact Snow remains after 12 years of complete nothingness and 2 pitiful seasons in a row is nauseating.

I'm happy they got their arena but they are still on the hook with the hockey team they don't want. They are just going to waste 42 dates a year (draft party is 42nd)?

They are world class frauds

I agree of course, but what does it say about charles wang that he hired this fool to begin with and gave him an extension as he was walking out the door?

charles wang - The worst thing that's ever happened to the Islanders.

You almost have to wonder if Malkin wants to keep wang happy for some reason...

OK Don Blankenship...

 

[BelovedIsles]

Could Wang be in business dealings with Malkin? I've heard that Malkin was interested in Chinese business and has consulted Wang on the subject.

That said, couldn't L$M just re-assign Snow to a position that satisfies all parties, and Malkin doesn't upset his business partnership with Wang.

If one person shows up for this, they would have to be the biggest loser in New York, maybe the whole East Coast.
