Islanders front office search has names, but few answers beyond the status quo

Well? What would you have done?

The last few weeks, as with every week in Islanders-fandom, have been filled with the gnashing and wailing of teeth. The causes have been repeated over and over: Garth Snow is staying on as GM, in a season where everyone felt a firing, or at least a loss of power, was not only a good idea, but the only one that made sense.

That didn’t happen. Many fans feel betrayed by ownership, as there had been a league-wide search for a president of hockey operations. But what is in the minds of fans often clash with the reality of the situation.
