EDMONTON, Alberta -- Lou Lamoriello of the New York Islanders is the winner of the NHL's Jim Gregory general manager of the year award.
The league announced Saturday night that Lamoriello finished ahead of fellow finalists Julien BriseBois of the Tampa Bay Lightning and Jim Nill of the Dallas Stars. Colorado's Joe Sakic was fourth and Vegas' Kelly McCrimmon fifth in voting by GMs, league executives and media members after the second round of the NHL playoffs.
Lamoriello's Islanders are in the Eastern Conference finals thanks to several moves he made in free agency in the summer of 2019 and at the February trade deadline.
