Yankees general manager Brian Cashman still has plenty of respect for former Devils architect Lou Lamoriello.
Cashman, who is also a Devils fan, is still friends with the new president of hockey operations for the New York Islanders, and according to a report from The Athletic, Cashman believes Lamoriello's work with the Devils made him the best GM in the metropolitan area in more than a generation.
"You could argue Lou is the best GM of a New York-area team in the last 50 years," Cashman said.
