Guy on Twitter says he heard Garth to pres and a new gm is gonna be hired but that means jack
- Upstate_isles


Can only imagine who the GM would be if this is true with Garth as Pres and Doug still coach. At least a new GM would be some face saving for Ledecky. To stand up during that press conference with Garth and Doug and no new GM is going to be bad. It's easy to say L&M do not care about criticism, but they are going to be hammered.

From the texts I’ve received today from NHL and team executives, former #Isles, agents and others, I can tell you the reaction to Jon Ledecky retaining Garth Snow runs from laughter and bewilderment to derision and anger.

That makes no difference. Like you say. Any new GM will want bring own people. And for that reason no good GM will come here if Snow stays in the org or if Weight is the coach. The owners are stuck unless the get rid off everyone.

I've said it before they need some former greats to tee off on Ledecky and Malkin. You cannot tell me someone like Billy Smith does not have it in him.

What GM candidate is going to come here and work with that idiot above him and be saddled with his pet for a coach?

I was so happy the season ended last night. That was until I saw on Twitter that Snow and Co. are practically assured of continuing their reign of error running the isles into a ditch of mediocrity. I was hoping a house-cleaning was coming. Guess not.

I’m at a loss for words. I really am. I can’t imagine what any ownership group sees in Snow. His track record is mediocre at best, and that’s being generous. Short of it guaranteeing a return of JT on a contract extension, I can’t see any reason to bring Snow back at all, or at the very least taking some time to really consider other options before deciding to keep him.

I’m all out of words. A couple of songs spell out my frustration with this team right now...

Would explain both being there tomorrow. Get ready for Weight to bring in more Ladd players. Shannon is hoping Weight is no longer coach.

Really need one of the former greats to be a hero and not hold their tongue anymore and just blast these clowns. I thought Bossy was on the outs so he could easily do it?

Why would you promote a perpetual failure to team president? Makes absolutely no sense and is a blazing red flag.

We need to find out what Wang put in Garth's contract. Just has to be something big to cause these owners to look like idiots.

Could Wang put in some penalty clause if Garth gets fired? No telling what Wang could have done. Nothing makes sense. The owners no how much the fans cannot take Garth and it would be easy scoring points just firing him.

If you have season tickets, cancel them and tell them why
Do not go to games
Do not buy merch from the team stores

A protest outside the draft party might be a good start

If Snow is still GM I am going to cancel my NVMC game plan Dan.

I think a protest outside the draft party is a great idea.

The fans need to be heard!
