Garth Snow is free to speak his mind. It has been five years, after all, since he was let go as Islanders general manager.

On co-owner Scott Malkin: “There were things I’d recommend that got shot down. And then I chuckled when Lou [Lamoriello] got hired and well, they’re gonna go do the things I recommended.”The Islanders hadn’t seen much on-ice success until the last few years, they dealt with a disastrous arena situation and they changed owners.
Though Lamoriello was the GM by the time Tavares actually left, Snow said there was little traction on a contract extension in 2017. The Islanders had earmarked about $10 million for Tavares, he said, but talks never got far, and Malkin had taken over negotiations. The threat of relocation was real, and playing at Barclays helped the Islanders avoid it. But it was a high price to pay, as the commute from Northwell Health Ice Center, their practice facility, was disastrous, some fans could not see the whole ice from their seats and the playing surface was shoddy.Andrew Theodorakis/New York Post
“There’s gotta be trust,” he said. “Obviously Charles had trust in me. New guys come in, you gotta build trust. Especially if you’re gonna commit $10 [million] or $12 million, whatever it is, to a player. You have to be comfortable with your GM.” Sending Reinhart to the Oilers for a 2015 first and second, then picking Barzal with the first-rounder and trading the second in a deal to move up and land Beauvillier, stands out as arguably the best move of Snow’s tenure.Getty Images
