Commandant Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Snow is not surprising at all. But Weight being fired? After all the talk of Lou and Tavares meeting? This is being done to re-sign Tavares. They are going to go with a coach that he wants, and he's going to re-sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto media is convinced Tavares will be unhappy about Weight being fired because he's been a mentor to Johnny T but I don't buy it.

A lot wonder if Sheldon Keefe is the guy. He's the Marlies coach, has a pretty decorated record at only 37. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is zero chance that they fired Weight without asking Tavares what he thought of Weight. NONE. I don't think it 100% means he'll re-sign, but it brings him closer.

Weight and Snow are both still employed by the Islanders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was simply odd how oft-injured Dipietro even got concussed in a goalie fight, he took one in the chops that dropped him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine of Loving Grace Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 It's been a while but I believe the Islanders could have just put him on LTIR but instead they bought him out, which pretty much made him the Bobby Bonilla of the NHL. I might be wrong on if they could have just left him on LTIR. Definitely the Bobby Bonilla though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be wrong on if they could have just left him on LTIR. Definitely the Bobby Bonilla though. They used the compliance buyout on him, so he doesn't count on their cap. By doing this, they only pay him 2/3rds of the contract value... and they get to spread the money out over double the number of years. So it was a money saving move (and it makes their cap accounting easier as well). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
