Every franchise has a different approach on how to be successful under the new CBA. One thing we have noticed on the Island however, is the lack of direction, with tons of confusion. <br /><br />Where in the world are the Islanders headed? Prior to the draft, this was a question being asked by just about everyone across the Hockey Nation. I can tell you this though, the Islanders were successful this weekend in Montreal.<br /><br />48 Hours from now, Garth Snow and Charles Wang will be at it again, with high hopes of continuing to change the image of this once storied franchise. <br /><br />There are question marks all over the Islanders Depth Chart. One thing we can be sure of today, the New York Islanders turned the page this past Friday night. Islander Faithful, there is lot's to look forward too. <br /><br />Charles Wang and Garth Snow would agree with me.Darren Coslovnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3262642253132428338.post-88650469148529294392009-06-25T09:25:18.384-04:002009-06-25T09:25:18.384-04:00You seem to have a lot of issues with Wang who onl...You seem to have a lot of issues with Wang who only keeps putting out money after we had a billionaire owner who would not let the payroll go above 14 million dollars. <br /><br />Unless you are in the room with Wang you have no idea if he is making player moves beyond approving the money spent on contracts like any other owner. <br /><br />Do you really think Mike Illitch woke up and read in the paper he was eighty million dollars poorer when the Wings signed those contracts or Ed Snider did not get a call when Richards got his contract? <br /><br />One thing for sure is Wang said if his committee did not work he would go back to a traditional format and that's exactly what happened when Snow and Nolan had their roles separated. Dallas only copied them with Hull and the co gm format. <br /><br />Also a lot of teams are following Wang's strategy of long term contracts for a lot more money per year than the 4.5 million DiPietro received as opposed to less years.<br /><br />He did not get a 115 million contract either. <br /><br />Two articles and you did not write once anywhere this team went to four playoffs in five years and were in sixth place in Jaunuary 2008 before a league leading 402 man games lost took their toll or this seasons league record 580 man games lost ended their season before it began. <br /><br />A lot of teams in this league have been struggling far longer than the NY Islanders, it's also not the late 90's any longer and none of those players have a single championship ring who have moved on several times. <br /><br />Of course Wang could have drafted Heatley so he could have signed him and demanded out or Gaborik who 80m is not enough to keep him happy in Minnesota. <br /><br />You don't have to like Wang or the Islanders but please tell the entire story.New York Islander Fan Centralhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893910827754685132noreply@blogger.com
