i believe this is up to date, but doesn't have Lambert there yet.

New York Islanders - Coaching Staff

The only other rumor is that Trotz is in talks to bring Mitch Korn in. I wonder if they're waiting to see what happens with Mark Hunter first.

Im still hoping that Scott Stevens joins the staff

This would be huge. Haven’t heard that he’s been talked to though.

Mitch Korn is supposedly considering his options.

 

[KrisBeKreame]

I remember someone stating that Stevens was in consideration for the head coaches vacancy when we had one.

I think it was speculation more than he was actually being considered. To be fair though the isles coaching search was tight lipped and we didn’t and still haven’t heard who even interviewed for the head coaching job besides Trotz. Stevens may have and we just didn’t hear about it.

Looks like Gomez is the last man standing, which makes sense given that he played under GMLL in New Jersey. Maybe he stays, maybe he's just having a hard time finding work.

Was just coming to post this. Interesting that KB is going to juniors.


Have to think there is still more to come to Trotz staff besides Lambert

The thing that is most surprising/inexplicable to me is that Fred Braithwaite is really the only remaining assistant coach that seems to still be around the team. I think it could easily be argued he was by far the worst member of an already abysmal coaching staff. The play of both of our goalies drastically went downhill and they had career worst type years in the first and only year with Braithwaite overseeing them? That does not seem coincidental. He is the first one I would have fired quite frankly. I dont want him having anything to do with Lehner and Greiss, let alone the youngsters when they are ready (Soderstrom, Sorokin).

Thinning the herd...

maybe Korn can "coach" Braithwaite on coaching?

Double

Nothing but speculation right now. I’m really hoping we get them, they’d both be huge additions
Edit: Meant to sent this to the post asking where Korn and Hunter are

They also saw 35+ shots for like 20 games in a row and multiple games of over 50 shots. Not all on the goalies...

Kelly B just wants to be a head coach. It's called the love of the game. Old school guy unlike Doug Weight who BS'd his way to the top. Just my take not based on facts .

If Korn comes here, he's not going to be involved with the team on a day to day basis. He hasn't even been doing that for Washington. I think that's why you're still seeing Brathwaite here.

Agreed. He’s more the chief goalie consultant. Some people speculated that he might actually retire st the end of last year.

Nah sorry I dont buy that. Both goalies technique seemed to be off and changed. I am pretty sure I even remember quotes from both of them saying that changes were being made to their styles and they had not adapted. I am not happy if Brathwaite will still be running the goalies this season. As i said, he should have been the first to be let go of the assistant coaches.

Even if Korn doesn’t come here, there’s got to be someone better on the market than Brathwaite

I honestly think having Korn as an advisor to our day to day coaches is fine

I think it will be Terreri. He'd already been helping out during the development camp.

I know there are many here that want Scott Stevens, what does his COACHING track record look like? Who has he worked with or previously coached to get the pedigree that he has. I know he was a great d-man in his day, but being a good player doesn't mean you are a good coach. I mean this in a general sense and not trying to take a shot at Stevens.

Minnesota Wild. Received a lot of credit for helping Dumba and other D-men in their development.

Personally, I also like his work on the NHL network. His analysis would extend beyond his reputation as a physical player. Showed an appreciation for transition and speed.
