Very nice job by Ledecky and especially Malkin. Hopefully all good things going forward. Should be a great offseason and I cannot wait to watch the draft.

It would be great if Snow wasn't at the table and it was the Lou show.

It sends a better message to the fans if Snow's not there.

Buddy of mine played for Lou at Providence when he was the coach. Said he was the best coach he ever had. Tough, a pr1ck but they would do anything for him. Very well respected by the team.

We'll see what happens. Just having Lou running the show is enough of a message for me.

Its awesome for you guys you got Lou but doesn't it make it look like L&M are gutless pussies if Lou fires Snow. Almost like they hired Lou because they were afraid to fire Snow.

Nah, they hired Lou and gave him total control to evaluate and do as he sees fit to produce a winning team.
New Owner did the same thing in Carolina recently if I’m not mistaken.

Just my opinion of course.

Yeah. Probably right. It just seems like passing the buck. Stevie Wonder saw Snow needed to be fired.

It's an on going debate. The rumor is Snow's contract is absurd and the don't want to fire him because it will cost them a lot of money. If have no idea if it's true, but I'm starting to believe it after I spoke to a friend that knows about high level executive contracts.

I still think it would be worth it to can him just for the good PR, but it's not my money. Bottom line, no one knows why Snow is still around.

Sharks effectively take themselves out of the JT Sweepstakes here, won't have the cap space. Wonder if this is a sign of sentiment league-wide that Tavares is more likely to stay with Lou in town. https://t.co/OcsDALmIS2

I think it is about a huge amount of money and L&M not being afraid to fire Garth. Garth may still end up being fired, but it does not seem an easy choice thanks to Wang.

True but if they make him the Isles official greeter, they are still paying him a ton of money to do nothing.

Didn't mean to rain on your guys good day, just struck me as a little odd.

I get it but they own the team. They are saying you make the hockey decisions we are paying you to do that, and We won’t try to do your job. I get it and Lou probably respects it.

We are just as confused as you are. Also it doesn't ruin our day. All indications are that Lou will be in control. If they don't fire Snow I still hope they "reassign" him to head of marketing or something, but even if they don't I don't see anything happening without Lou's approval.

True, something to say about hiring a guy thats been in the league for a very long time and saying you have control, we are just a bunch of rich people with horrible teeth who don't know much about hockey. Probably the way it should be

I didn't weigh in one way or another. I said I wanted to wait and hear the titles and official announcements. Lou is PoHO, he is in charge. I still want Snow out or at least publicly pushed to the side, but its Lou's team now.

Btw Ses, time to change the avatar. Crappy gone and Snow was just castrated so basically gone.
