It’s not often that Hockey Night in Canada involves (or even mentions) the Islanders. But on tonight’s installment of the show’s Headlines intermission roundtable, reporter Elliotte Friedman and color analyst Kelly Hrudey discussed Arthur Staple’s recent report of the team’s owners’ search for a new executive.
Their focus was less about the position itself and more about Ledecky reaching out to NHL types looking for opinions, advice and information that he can use to help his team. Friedman mentioned agent Pat Brisson and Brad Richards, but not Pat LaFontaine, who Staple also had Ledecky talking to.
