NHL Insider Leaks Islanders' Plans For Patrick Roy
In a recent report by Stefen Rosner, a significant development might be on the horizon for the New York Islanders. There's buzzing speculation that Patrick Roy, the current head coach, might step up to become the General Manager of the team. This would consequently promote Benoit Desrosiers to head coach. This speculation gains weight considering the current GM, Lou Lamoriello, is 81 and may not have many years left in his role, especially if the Islanders fail to make the playoffs this season.
I have no timeline, but At some point, I believe Patrick Roy will be the GM and Benoit DeRosiers will be the HC. -Rosner
Patrick Roy May Quickly Be Moving Up The Ranks In The New York Islanders Organization
Rosner's suggestion that Roy could replace Lamoriello aligns with historical transitions within NHL management, notably Barry Trotz's shift from coaching to a GM role in Nashville. This potential shake-up within the Islanders' organization could have significant implications, shaping the team's future direction. The situation warrants close observation over the upcoming summer, as changes in management could herald a new era for the Islanders.
