Probably cause he signed Poti at 2.7 something million

that's really interesting. i wouldn't be surprised if this is the shortest or one of the shortest lengths a GM held his job for in the nhl history. i guess we'll have to wait and find out more details.

Ted Nolan strikes again.

here's an update on the gm position for the new york islanders. i just saw it on nhl.com and thought i would post it:

Well, owner Charles Wang has no clue about hockey.
looks like Garth Snow is stuck with the burden of Yashin's contract now

Smith only had a job with the Isles for 40 days. Thats something.

I dont think he was really given a chance.

sNOW BLEW AS A GOALIE AND WILL BLOW EVEN HARDER AS GM

haha, now Lafontaine is resigning, looks like nobody wants to part of a disaster

how much worse can this get?!? Now I find out Wang doesn't want scouts!?!!

maybe the problem lies with wang and not the rest of the staff. sure, there will be differences, but why would someone want to fire someone else or have someone quit because of them? i think it was irresponsibility on wang's part - i think he's the problem to this whole mess. hopefully someone will realize that and let wang go. who wouldn't want scouts? i think he's just being unreasonable and doesn't want to get players who could help the islanders down the road. i don't think anybody would want to play for the islanders if they knew this was going on.
