It’s Tuesday. Do you know where you’re GM is?
He might be on a red couch.
Islanders News
- It’s a long to-do list for Mathieu Darche, including evaluating the coach and the thin front office (which was an affront to humanity under Garth Snow, but “Oh that’s just Lou” under Lou Lamoriello). [Athletic]
- Apparently that to-do list includes calling some season ticket holders. [THN]
- On James Hagens and how projections evolved for this draft class: “He’s not my No. 2 ranked player, or that of almost any NHL scout I’ve talked to, but it’s perfectly within the realm of possibilities that Hagens ends up the pure best player in the class, surpassing Schaefer, and even more reasonable that he could end up the best forward in the draft. This isn’t a Connor Bedard or Macklin Celebrini draft where the difference from 1 to 5 is gigantic. But Hagens becoming the best player in the draft is not the likely outcome…” [Athletic]
- The guys discuss the pre-holiday GM news, and yet more Masterleaf Theatre foder. [Islanders Anxiety podcast]
