Ah, so that explains it.
One reason the Post’s EXCLUSIVE!!1 with former Islanders GM Garth Snow — who pretty much hadn’t spoken in five years — featured such relatively “meh” non-news (the main headline was that Garth Snow says John Tavares shouldn’t be blamed for ownership not wanting to entertain walk-year trades) is that they were saving the real dirt for the Post+ paywall.
If the initial free-and-open-to-the-wide-world-of-Post-pornbait story was seen as Snow just trying to make himself look good for potential future employers, the subscriber-only follow up was anything but.
