Old news. Seems this is common practice. If only 2 years not bad. They can still be fired though.
True surprised malkin and Collins allowed it..
It’s not just the fact he hamstrung Darche, it is also the fact that Darche has to bring back arguably the worst staff in jr hockey history. How does one even justify extension based on performance?
Lou is the gift that keeps on giving
He didn’t do anything ownership didnt want to do
I was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a family and a lovely year old daughter (zoe), and a stream of income that gats me $47,000 weekly. Plus a new identity – a child of God, Hallelujah!!!🇺🇲❣️♥️❤️
It is going to take YEARS to clear this team of the STENCH of louzer!!! HTF does ownership allow this crap? They clearly don’t know how to hire people and allow them to run the team. My NFL team is in a similar situation, the idiot owner is the GM, they haven’t won a SB in 30 years, oh that is more recent than the Isles last cup win.
Elliotte Friedman said it’s not uncommon for GMs who see the writing on the wall to give the people around them an extension to help take care of them. These guys make a fraction of what the GM makes, so he gives them an extra year for some stability. Everyone’s burying Lou for a practice that seems fairly standard league wide 🤷🏼♂️
Do you guys think iskakov come back with darche being the new gm?
Ownership getting bent over by old Lou, gonna create alot of friction with Darche. Is he truely the GM, or a yes man puppet???
i got it…the new GM is a mirage….in reality Lou is still the GM
Lou is a scumbag period and I'm glad he's gone !
Just shows how stupid the owners are! The owners need to make all the extensions void! Chris L Extension null n void
So, it seems Lou has handcuffed the new GM for about 5 years. Ownership needed to stop his moves once he made the decision to move on from Lou.
These moves prove how much of a petty scumbag Lou Lamoriello really is
This is the most petty, unprofessional shit ever.
For those people who say this is a common practice or it's only two years so what's the big deal, how do you think Lou Lamoriello would react to being saddled with the previous GMs entire staff including the former GMs incompetent son? Yeah…thought so
Yoda's final conversation with Malkin on his way out….(waving hand) " These are the scouts you’re looking for.” Then Malkin said “These are the scouts we’re looking for.”
All you have to do is ask a devils fan how he left that franchise and how long it took to recover.
It’s ALL the owners fault!
They allowed this
Lou, you jag-off!
I think Scott Malkin reported to Lou.
I would fire CLam no matter what contract he has. I'd buy him out.
I was watching a video on TSN with Craig Button and he said that this is a very common thing for an outgoing GM to give contracts to loyal employees before his authority is removed. Apparently, they all do it. So, my anger at Lou is mitigated after hearing this.
I have a feeling there’s a lot more things we’ll keep learning about lou
This is the owners fault, they let him extend them they need to eat all this money and fire these people.
I know they won’t , but this is ridiculous
Palmieri can grow his beard now
Lou is the greatest GM in history!
The movie Heavyweights nailed the Islanders perfect. Team of the future…… 30 plus years waiting
I’m sorry the Islanders scouts are awful.
This is ownerships fault, it’s apparent they left the team in Lous hands & while they were admiring their new barn he was stocking it with the same broken horses from years past.
It’s always the most embarrassing possible thing that could happen. Always
It's fine. You don't even dislike the scouts we have. What is the complaint.
