Garth Snow wants to keep Islanders coaches
Garth Snow told Newsday that he foresees no changes to his coaching staff nor any front-office changes once Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky take over as majority owners from Charles Wang on July 1.
Snow had high praise for Jack Capuano and assistants Doug Weight, Greg Cronin and Bob Corkum, who coached the Isles to back-to-back 100-point seasons.
“There’s a great respect from our players to the coaches and vice versa,” Snow said on Tuesday after the last of the players’ exit interviews. “Sitting through these meetings with the players, there’s a respect that’s impressive to me. Our team is prepared, they’re in great condition, for me I’m very thankful to have the coaching staff we have.”
