The Islanders are in Anaheim to attempt to build off Saturday night’s business-like 4-2 win over the Sharks.
In their post-deadline reality, Lou Lamoriello came down from the mountain to speak to media, answer questions and restate his philosophy once and for all. The full scrum is worth watching (it’s also embedded below) if you want to hear it straight from Lou’s mouth, but key points regarding the deadline and approach:
- Tried to re-sign Brock Nelson with a “fair” offer for his role and age, but could not come to agreement; “won’t apologize for” trying to resign another 30s-forward, because Nelson is important to the team and a position that is difficult to replace.
