It has been and it will continue to be a busy offseason for the New York Islanders. After missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season and having won just one playoff series in the past 25 years, the team has hired Lou Lamoriello as their president of hockey operations.
In a few short weeks with the team, Lamoriello has already relieved general manager Garth Snow and head coach Doug Weight of their duties. Lamoriello has since named himself general manager and is expected to name a new coach by next week.
