Overview

  • The New York Islanders have officially decided not to renew Lou Lamoriello's contract as president and general manager after a disappointing 2024–25 season.
  • Operating partner John Collins will oversee the search for a new GM, marking a significant leadership transition for the organization.
  • Under Lamoriello, the Islanders made five playoff appearances in seven seasons, including two trips to the conference finals in 2020 and 2021.
  • The team's failure to make the playoffs this season with a 35-35-12 record highlights the need for a fresh approach to restore competitiveness.
  • The future of head coach Patrick Roy, hired by Lamoriello in January 2024, will be determined by the incoming general manager.
