Dude you're lost if you think Snow is still making any important decisions.

I don't want him to, but until he loses the GM title, he still will make them.

Who's making roster decisions in the Rangers, Glen Sather or Jeff Gorton?

You think Snow still has power I laughed in your face. Debate over. What's the problem? I told you believe what you want. Should I have put have a nice day at the end?

I asked you a question of who manages the Rangers roster between Gorton and Sather and you failed to answer.

How the fack would I know? I don't work for the Rangers. How do you know if Sather has final say or not? What part of Lou controlling everything don't you understand? Now just leave me alone and believe what you want

Because you can see the different types of roster moves being made over the past few years during Gorton's GM reign compared to when Sather was GM.

And replying to that, then what the hell is the point of the GM title in the first place? Many other teams have POHO's and they let their GMs do their job(Rangers, Leafs are examples) yet oversee and set higher expectations for. What makes this scenario any different?

You may be right and it seems to be a lot of people's thought process with this. My thought is why? Why let it go that far? The WORLD knows both Weight and Snow are completely incompetent there's no evaluation that needs to be done. Why potentially sacrifice ANOTHER season to just do the inevitable? Fire them both and get on with it Lameriello isn't getting any younger and to me anything else is putting lipstick on a pig almost hoping for failure. Lou at this point shouldn't be looking for a reason to fire these two clowns and everyone they hired that reason exists and is in plain sight. Get it done and let's start doing things the right way keeping either or God forbid both is clearly NOT the right way.

I hear everything you're saying and we will never know why. All i can say is im fully confident in Lou Lam doing the right thing and making the isles great again!

Nah Just gotta hope Snow doesn't give Johnston a 6 year extension at 6 mil a year because you know Lou won't be able to stop Snow because he is the GM and he is in charge of the roster

Look Snow has been de Bagged.

Biggest piece on that roster is JT. Lou was meeting with JT and Snow was oblivious to it in Denmark reading up on how to shave.
It’s Lou’s show don’t believe anything else.

While you're beating on him I'll drop this here

As for Hall, #Isles didn't offer what EDM wanted, which was Hamonic. Plain and simple.

Already said this earlier this summer, but after all the stuff Hamonic went through, if GS had traded him, team might have staged a coup.

And then he corrected himself when he was asked about that 2 years later. Beat writers and bloggers(B.D.) can mess up too....

He just "messed up" repeatedly over, and over, and over, and over again...

@StapeAthletic
Can certainly debate skill levels of Hall/Hamonic. Wasn't a trade #Isles felt they could make w/ one of the emotional leaders of the team.

What's really funny is the negative press and fan response that this reported trade was getting. Bahwahwahwahwah. The guy "mis worded" 10 tweets over a one month period. Whoops
