The Eyes on Isles Podcast returns for episode number 42 as Matt and Mitch will discuss all things New York Islanders on and off the ice.

I wonder what we’ll talk about this week…Garth Snow is no longer the General Manager of the New York Islanders. As of yesterday, Lou Lamoriello removed Garth and Doug Weight from their original titles.

We’ll get into that of course to start but we have a lot of other stuff to hit you with as well. This past week I took a look at the most likely pieces to be traded this month which we’re going to spend some time talking about.

Here’s what to expect from episode 42:

Long Topic: Garth Snow FIRED

Obviously, we’ll start with the biggest news of the offseason. We’ve been waiting for this for a very long time and it’s an important day for the culture change for the New York Islanders franchise. We’ll break down everything about what went down yesterday and what it means for Tavares, etc.

Short Topics

Lou Speaking daily to Brisson

Lou Lamoriello being in daily contact with the John Tavares’ agent has to be a pretty darn good sign.

 Misconception that they need a scoring winger

Ilya Kovalchuk is continued to be linked to the Islanders. It doesn’t make sense for how the Islanders are currently constructed. But, we’ll break down why that’s far down the list of priorities.

Five Pieces that can be traded

The Islanders are likely going to be trading for a goalie and/or a defenseman in the next couple of weeks. We’ll talk about five who are most likely to be moved in those packages.

Social

  • Reaction to Garth Snow getting let go
  • Offside Tavern Party on Friday

Next: Building Toronto Around Tavares
