It’s still weird to have a General Manager who takes ownership of things. New York Islanders GM, Lou Lamoriello took full responsibility for the team being dormant at the trade deadline this past February.
At the time, the Islanders were hanging on to the division lead by a thread. The team was playing good defense, and their goalie play was great they just struggled scoring and their power play was horrendous.
With 2018-2019 looking like a rare opportunity, I like many Islander fans, wanted the Isles to go all-in and land a big-time name like Mark Stone or Artemi Panarin.
