It has now been more than a week without a peep from management or the coaching staff of the New York Islanders, and the silence is perhaps even more intriguing than whatever they’d have to say.
My personal suspicion is that Lou Lamoriello is negotiating his contract extension and won’t talk until it’s done; whether Lou’s contract gets done would decide Lane Lambert’s fate: If Lou stays, Lane stays, but if Lou goes, Lane does, too.
