Islander fans welcome to the lou lamerillio era. You hire the cheapest man in hockey to be your GM and you wonder why your franchise player skips town? The day the isles named lou as GM, tavaras starting looking for a new mailing address. Next step is the dumpster diving for washed up forwards to fill out the roster, as a devils saw this for over a decade. The clock on brazal is now running.

You are over-reacting.

It's not like he's going to go out and give a bum like Komarov a 4-year deal...

Yeah I don’t think Lou Lamoriello knows what the hell he’s doing. The man is 75 and possibly senile. Between resigning that garbage can Thomas Hickey and then throwing money at Valtteri Washuppla and Leo “superdouche” Komarov this is day just can’t get any worse

You’ve been rebuilding for what now??? 78 years? Tough to win the Stanley Cups when money issues no longer force Edmonton to sell all their players to you

So we get NADA!

I would like to Thank Garf Snow for letting this play out till the very end when U could have traded JT's A$$ months ago. Great job A$$ hole.

I'd also like to thank JT himself for leading the team and loyal fans on for over a yr. Telling everyone who would listen. I Luv LI and dont want to leave. You could have been upfront and classy. Told management there was a good chance U want to go home. Thus giving the Isles a chance to get something, anything for U in a trade. but no. JT you (frank)ed the team and fans over.

So the team and fans are left with NADA as U take off back home to Canada.

Truthfully, I knew U were leaving and didnt care. I never thought U were a franchise player. I dont think the Isles should have given U 8 yrs @ 88Mil.

But I still think your a classless act for walking out and not allowing the Isles to get a return on their investment on U.

Good luck in Toronto. U classless piece of $H!t.

Tavares said in the media that Garth came up to him prior to the trade deadline and said he wasn't going to trade him. He never told him not to trade him because he was resigning.

Posts like this make you wonder why he ever left.

Class act bud. You may want to fact check your post, because a lot of it is incorrect.

I think it's just Garth's inexperience. e.g. what happened with Vanek, Okposo and Nielsen. Can't be surprised that this ended up how it did. I also now think JT made his decision before Lou came.

Separately, not sure what the strategy is with today's FA signings - Hickey, Fillpula, Komarov??? Please explain. Not very impressed with these moves. I thought this team moved on from Hickey.

however multiple dependable sources have claimed that Tavares emphatically requested the isles not trade him. He's also quoted numerous times stating he hopes to be in the position to finish his career as an Islander. Well...he was
