I know that GM Lou Lamoriello does not love the media. But at this point, it is fair to wonder if he has held off announcing his signings because he is trying to be nicer to them and does not want to ruin the beat writers’ vacations.
I thought that the big hold-up on further New York Islanders news was signing Adam Pelech. He may be waiting until he has all his RFAs inked. I had been under the impression that both Anthony Beauvillier and Ilya Sorokin had agreed upon new deals since neither player filed for arbitration.
