If the Islanders can change and turn around the team's fortune and culture with two key off season hires (Lou Lammy and trotzky) maybe we can too if Bobby Nicks and Katz makes the right choices and purges?
Let's face it, the Isles are a fairly mediocre team with not much high end talent at all and their questionable goaltending has looked outstanding due to the buy in and team culture of the players (d and fwds) in front of them.
Is it maybe possible for a very good new GM and proper coach to come in and make small and very realistic roster changes and more importantly change and fix the organizational and team room culture and buy in that we can be next year's Isles/Golden Knights and build on that going fwd with the best player on the planet?
Trying to overhaul the roster would be tough to do in a year or two.... i think start with a massive culture change, make the playoffs and work towards improving the roster in the years to come. Have that solid cultural foundation as you bring in the new talent and oust the players past their expiration date.
Obviously a key summer for this org. Katz and bnicks better get it right.
