The times are a’ changing for the Islanders' bench. Bob Corkum is out. Luke Richardson is in, with reports of Kelly Buchburger and Scott Gomez joining as well. As new coaches come in, it seems likely others will be moving on.
Arthur Staple of Newsday also reports that assistant Greg Cronin’s status for next season is “unknown for now.” Cronin should be the next one to vacate the bench and the reason why is simple: he’s behind on the modern game.
In 2013, Cronin gave a much-circulated interview to Maple Leafs Hot Stove outlining his philosophies when he was an assistant coach for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
