Speculation: Snow, Weight to Remain With the Organization

[sabremike]

When the team is firmly entrenched in the league basement at the start of the new year I have an idea: all STH's should print out their tickets to a specific home game, show up that night and we have a garbage can where they can be publicly burned in protest. This may have to be done in Nassau because of logistics.

How many STH's are we going to sacrifice?
Oh, the humanity!

Literally came here to post this. Imagine MAKING the playoffs SIX seasons in a row and getting fired...

Maybe this is the guy the isles would pounce on?

Not mine, but thought this was funny/depressing...

I wonder what it's like to be a fan of a team that actually holds people accountable? One can dream I guess...

All I do is dream, but then wang/snow ride in on a unicorn together and BAM - Nightmare.

VGK could pass us this year.

I don't think Vegas could go that far. Still, this franchise is a f***ing sad joke.

Was he fired or was he not renewed?

Contract not renewed.

 

[sabremike]

He no longer has the job so that's simply a matter of semantics no?

The way Leafs fans talk I was expecting them to be top 5-10 on this list. Holy hell. We’re pathetic but they’re supposed to be the hockey capital.

Where as Lamoriello at this point in his career doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. He is a future hall-of-famer who was instrumental in developing the salary cap CBA. He is easily one of the most influential people in hockey. He’s known as the “Godfather of Hockey” for a reason.

He IS a hall-of-famer (inducted way back in 2009).

 

[Tres Peleches]

From a fan standpoint, yes

From a financial/professional standpoint, no

While not getting a contract renewed is a form of firing, per se, it's not the same as firing someone under contract, eating the remainder of the contract and paying someone else to do the same job

 

[PK Cronin]

Contract not renewed.

Thank you.

He no longer has the job so that's simply a matter of semantics no?

No, I was curious if the owners were eating 4 years of his contract like ours would have to do.

Vegas has won the same amount of playoff rounds as we have since 4 years before Barzal was born...let that sink in people...

Isles are the greatest stanly cup contenders to not win a cup...Thats what we are supposed to believe.

 

[ScaredStreit]

Not-so-fun fact: the year before Snow took the job they won 36 games. This year they won 35.

This could actually be a good reason why Ledecky didn't stay at the podium for the presser! This is a take on it I didn't consider.

6. On the Islanders: I don’t know whether it was a lack of communication, or someone said something they shouldn’t, but it’s clear ownership was not prepared to announce a return for GM Garth Snow and head coach Doug Weight. As owner Jon Ledecky said Monday and re-iterated with a statement Tuesday, “Everyone is under review.” It could be something as simple as Tavares’ decision determining everyone’s fate. But, the organization was not prepared to commit to anyone or anything at this time. Ledecky getting up and leaving the podium was telling. He was not pleased, and, my guess is he didn’t want to say anything that made the situation worse.

Saying nothing made it worse...
Would saying something made it worse more?
