This is not the old NHL, and Lamoriello did not operate this way in New Jersey or Toronto, he can stay silent, bring back the same team & not say much or anything, but this franchise will lose 1/2 it's marginal attendance with the buzz of the first year/50th anniversary failures, and now it's just year three. NHL is not going to hand them all those Sat night games again either. It's not a market like Pens, Blues where the seats will be filled win or lose. Silence is not golden, nor is hiding at Northwell. Briefly I don't know what lingering effects the pandemic bring to the calander.
