Very underrated player, IMO. One of the very best for a solid decade.

713 points in 684 NHL games. Just missed out on a couple of 50 goals seasons (48 and 45 goals for the Isles in back-to-back seasons).

I expected him to gave a good season playing with Sid in 2005 but Mike Therrien yelled at him so he retired.

Well Therrien is a complete putz, so I won't hold that against Pocket Jagr.

If a coach was ever offered the Isles job the first question I would ask. Can I scratch Matt Martin and Clutterfuck? If the answer is no, then I would willfully decline the position.

I wonder if Patty Wah took the job because Louie Lams is getting ready to retire and Patty might just promote himself to the GM position once Louie Lams steps down.

I'm not sure what to think about Roy yet from a tactical perspective but the Islanders need a coach with a little emotion to shake shit up a little and that seems to be him. I'm happy with the move. I didn't love Lambert.

I'm not sure Lamoriello at his age is capable of being a seller, but with 2 games before the deadline it could still go either way as to what they "should" do. The Larkin injury could also play a role in the decision. 5 or 6 points out with 1, 2 or 3 games in hand (depending on which team you look at) means he more than likely trying to acquire a player or two. But LTIR and/or retained salary and/or sending contracts back will need to play a role to improve the team.
