Lou Lamoriello is out as president and general manager of the New York Islanders, after the team said Tuesday the longtime NHL executive's contract was not being renewed. Managing partner John Collins will lead a search to find the Islanders' next GM.
"The Islanders extend a heartfelt thank you to Lou Lamoriello for his extraordinary commitment over the past seven years," the team said in a statement. "His dedication to the team is in line with his Hall of Fame career."
Lamoriello, 82, spent the past seven years running the Islanders' hockey operations with a close connection to ownership.
