For this week’s New York Islanders roundtable we’ve gone outside of our little team for a topic. In the spirit of the holidays, we’re going to give out gifts to Jack Capuano and Garth Snow.

Our roundtable question comes from President of the Jack Capuano and Garth Snow fan club (unofficial title), Michael Savvakis.

With the spirit of the holidays in full swing, we’ve asked the Eyes on Isles team: What would you gift Jack Capuano and Garth Snow this Christmas?

What would either of these individuals deserve over the holidays? We let our team of writers decide what to get the two. No budget, no strings attached. Simply, what would you put under the Christmas tree for the coach and the GM?

It’s probably not going to the best of Christmas gifts on account of the fact that the Isles are a disappointing last place in the Eastern Conference. A position none of us predicted after the Isles last two seasons. Although to be fair, did anyone predict that the Metropolitan Divison would be this strong?

Columbus has a ten game winning streak. And for a while half, the division was on a 5+ game streak. Which means that Isles are 12 points out of a wildcard spot and it’s Christmas.

But maybe a winger for John Tavares? Maybe you get a one-time use time machine that goes back to the day before the 2016 free agency? Maybe you keep it traditional and just leave both of them a lump of coal?

If you think either Jack or Garth deserve something we didn’t mention, leave your comments in the comment section at the bottom of the page!
