Islanders History vs. Garth Snow: The Ugly
In the first two installments of this series, I looked at both the good and the bad of Garth Snow's executive career. Today, we'll be looking at the ugly, Garth's worst two moves as the general manager of the New York Islanders.
I initially got the idea for this series when I discovered that next year would've been the final season on Rick DiPietro's 15-year, $67.5 million contract. The decision was much maligned by New York Islanders fans and pundits alike back in September of 2006.
Still, I couldn't do a Garth Snow series and not talk about the 2018 John Tavares free agency debacle. I would give both of these topics their own articles, but that would be overkill. So this'll have to do.
