Must have something to do with his resignation coming on the heels of the conversation with Gary. Save some face (on his official record, at least), but any further career advancement is going to be at the commissioner's say so.
Knowing this league and this commissioner, they're just waiting for it to 'blow over', because it's not the egregious cover up that was the sin committed, it was embarrassing the league's image.

uhh, what?
The only logical explanation here is that Lou is full on tanking for Connor Bedard next season.

Did I consult with those who would be most directly impacted by this seemingly rash decision?
No, why would I do that? Never even crossed my mind.

Trotz certainly has his limitations in stifling the offense of his teams but this is just stupidity from Lou. Back to back conference finals appearances and then a trainwreck season that starts with a 13-game road trip (team goes 5-6-2). They then lose Josh Bailey and Ryan Pulock to injury/COVID on November 16 and then lose everyone else to COVID just before puck drop on November 20th. From November 7th to the shutdown in December the team goes 3-10-4 under awful circumstances. So they ultimately go 8-12-6 through December.
The Islanders were eliminated from playoff contention when they lost to the Leafs 4-2 on April 17. They finished 2-4-1 after that.
So between January 13th and April 17th the team went: 27-19-3. I think that's pretty much the only stretch you could look at the Islanders and say that was a fair evaluation of their team. Games played after being eliminated from the playoffs during an entirely shitty season seems unfair and that first stretch of the season was awful. The NHL forcing the Islanders to play games shorthanded because they didn't have a proper COVID program in place was absurd.
I'm glad he's not our GM.
Trotz is from Winnipeg. I wonder if there is a fit there trying to salvage what is left of that team.
