#Isles News: George McPhee has officially been named Special Advisor to the General Manager.

I like this too - they are looking for real NHL-experienced front office people instead of promoting some former player or AHL nobody.

He's the guy that traded Filip Forsberg to the Predators for a literal pile of human feces...so I am a little scared at this hire

I'll bet Pacioretty and the Montreal PD don't find it so funny.

Me too. This is not my idea of a proven hire.

Hey all. I'm a new member, I had finally gotten a phone with a carrier that is listed on the options for signing up here. I have been coming to this site for quite a few years and always going to the message board to see what was happening and be entertained by all the Islander talk going on since I get none of that here where I live in Iowa. I moved to Iowa ten years ago from Farmingville and have rarely missed an Islander game since. Now I'm watching them with NHL Game Center Online here in my college dorm room. I've been through it all here in the last few years with ya guys including Dee Karl (had a huge celebration when Dan got his own blog) and now having to deal with rangerdanger on the daily. I hope you all can embrace me and I'll finally have a group of people to talk Islander Hockey with besides my family. Go Isles!

I'm really just joking, I couldn't care less about this hire it's completely irrelevant to anything that is going to happen.

Staple even mentioned that Snow still controls all of the hockey ops decisions, McPhee is just an advisor.

Thats exactly what I was thinking, shame he sounds like a nice guy too.

I'll bet Pacioretty and the Montreal PD don't find it so funny.

It's hilarious that people complained for years how their front office was basically stripped down to bare bones and now that they bring in a guy with 17 years experience as a gm people still complain.

Or in MDW's gf's case: "Bring out the Limp"

You look at their draft the past ten years and development?

Why even bother? Some people only know how to complain.

I figure a few of you guys might want to watch some of next years draft class. Just got this email;

New York's very own Stephen Dhillon, Adam Fox, J.D. Greenway, Griffin Luce, Luke Kirwan, Charlie McAvoy, and Tage Thompson will play in this year's 2015 CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game!

Tune in to NHL Network on September 24 at 7 PM ET to watch America's next crop of all-stars!

Fox, McAvoy and Thompson (Brent's son) are from the island.
