The New York Islanders finally fired Jack Capuano. The well wishes and platitudes have been offered and the team is 2-0-1 in his absence under Doug Weight. Arthur Staple has reported that one team has contacted the Islanders for permission to speak with Cappy. There are no absolutes here, but Las Vegas was mentioned as a possibility.
It makes sense given George McPhee’s familiarity with Capuano and his advisory role with Garth Snow that kept the former Isles coach on past his expiration date.
The idea of Capuano coaching Vegas is an intriguing one if only for the possible “What Ifs” it could conjure.
