Think about this. Since the Easter Epic in 1987, THIRTY ONE years ago, the Islanders have won 3 playoff series. Vegas has matched that in year one.Correct, but VGK had an unfair advantage as an expansion team which makes it easy for them to get 12 wins in 1 year. The NYI/Snow have had to do a full-fledged 12 year rebuild, so actually Snow has done pretty well averaging almost 1 whole playoff game win per year under the circumstances.
I liked your post, even though I hated your post. If you know what I mean.Think about this. Since the Easter Epic in 1987, THIRTY ONE years ago, the Islanders have won 3 playoff series. Vegas has matched that in year one.
Where this leaves Snow, the Isles GM for the previous 12 seasons, is unclear. He and head coach Doug Weight arrived back on Long Island on Monday after spending last week at the World Championships along with Eric Cairns, director of player development, and other front-office staffers. Snow’s contract runs for at least four more years with a steep buyout clause.
31 years of low payrolls and lowest paid coaches and lowest paid front office. Not expecting much to change for the next three decades. The normal payroll itself won't fix anything.
Next is weight. Dont think hes going to make it as coach. Different role in organization.
Isles have been in the bottom of payrolls probably 20 years out of the last thirty. We are talking about thirty years not just since you started followingIslanders a cap ceiling team. Yet again, you try to throw misinformation out there. The problem is whom snow is doling money too, not the lack of it.

According to Jean-Charles Lajoie, a Montreal radio host, Lamoriello is about to fire Doug Weight and all his assistants. He said he has his sources and he has no reason to doubt them. He added that the announcement will be made in the coming days. He also added that Garth Snow may remain officially the GM, but in fact it will be Lamoriello who will now make all the decisions. I can always put you the link, but it's in French. Lajoie made the announcement while he was talking to Mike Bossy. The latter was unaware of what was going on among the Islanders. Personally, I don't know if Jean-Charles Lajoie is really credible with his sources, all I know is that he is a popular radio host here in Montreal, but I am very curious to see if what he said today will prove true. We'll see!

Gosh...You have to read some of this. It seems to make sense, but when you use Google translate it's both harsh and funny...
- According to some sources close to the record, the Players Association would put a lot of pressure on Tavares to sign a $ 15 million contract per season (for 8 years). It would raise the NHL pay scale with a snap ...
- Jean-Charles Lajoie has released exclusive information in the last hours ( on 91.9 Sports ). Which allowed him to learn, Doug Weight and all his assistants would be about to be fired by Lamoriello. We would talk in hours or days at most. The housekeeping would come to the side of Long Island / Brooklyn ...
- "If my information is correct, and I have no reason to believe that it is not, Lou Lamoriello is preparing the household on Long Island. Will survive in principle, and I say in principle, valiantly tabled, Garth Snow, who basically had extended his hand to the son of Lamoriello by offering him a job. So it would be a bit indecent to sacred him out too."
- It should also be understood that the contract of Garth Snow would have several clauses making his dismissal difficult and risky for Isles.
- According to reports by host Jean-Charles Lajoie on 91.9 Sports , and citing inside information, a large household is about to begin in New York and head coach Doug Weight and all his deputies would go into the wringer.
- If Snow is not thanked for his duties, it would be, according to several sources, because of his contract that holds several clauses suicide for the organization. If all goes according to plan, Snow would suddenly become a puppet of management.
Oh let it all be true...

Here's the thing too, you gotta love this from a fan perspective. This ****ing moron Wang signed Snow to this deal because he thought he would always remain GM. Like he never believed that they would hire another person to make decisions around the team.
Add this to the long list of bonehead moves Wang has done. He didn't keep the Isles on LI, he is the reason they almost moved off of LI.
L&M probably figured they could live with Snow and his massive penalty payment. At the time they purchased, the team had made the playoffs in 2015, finally won a round in 2016, so in their eyes things were trending in the right direction.I think he was just helping his buddy out by ensuring he'll be employed and/or get a huge payout. I'm annoyed that Malkin and Ledecky didn't have protection from this sort of thing legally (needing certain financial commitments approved by them sort of thing) and if they were, boy did they mess that up.
