Garth Snow is in his 12th year as Islanders general manager. It’s fair to wonder, with the Islanders banged up and sliding to a second straight season outside the playoffs, whether Snow’s job as GM and team president is secure.
Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky declined comment on any hockey operations matters without knowing what questions Newsday wanted to ask, so he wasn’t declining to comment on Snow’s job security or status.
But it was already clear what Ledecky and Scott Malkin feel about Snow and head coach/assistant GM Doug Weight. We found out in April.
That was the end of the 2016-17 season, one that ended with a furious rally that fell a point short of a playoff berth.
