Lou Lamoriello's tenure as president and general manager of the New York Islanders came to an end as his contract will not be renewed. Under Lamoriello, the team made playoffs five times in seven seasons, achieving significant improvements, including a run to the NHL semifinals in 2020 and 2021. Despite this success, the team finished below playoff contention this year. His departure raises questions about the future of coach Patrick Roy, whom Lamoriello hired earlier this year. The Islanders appreciated Lamorielloâs contributions to the franchise and will begin their search for a new GM.
"The Islanders extend a heartfelt thank you to Lou Lamoriello for his extraordinary commitment over the past seven years. His dedication to the team is in line with his Hall of Fame career."
"Lamoriello will not have his contract renewed after the Islanders finished sixth in the Metropolitan Division, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2018."
