Lou Lamoriello always hid it quite well, but for an 82 -year -old was much more open to the analysis and thought of the new era of what no one would expect.
I was not spitting in advanced models or concepts as the expected objectives, and the last coach he hired, Patrick Roy, would regularly cite Sportlogiq statistics, the service that the islanders use to monitor the advanced statistics.
Even so, deep down, Lamoriello wanted his teams to play the same style as his brand registered for decades: build from the goal; structured defense; Defend an advantage.
The apartment of four people from the islanders, directed by Taran Singleton, is one of the smallest of the League by numbers, according to the follow -up compiled by Shayna Goldman of athletics, and could use some reinforced ones.
The main office renewal Which will happen under a new general manager It is a lot to establish a new tone there.
In fact, it is believed that the operational partner John Collins, who leads the search for a new GM, is open to a hiring of the New Age in the Eric Tulsky Mill of Carolina, thought that the road is not in stone at this time.
As surprising if it were if the islanders had not eaten in praking with Holland, which is as old as this side of Amoriello, there are many more open names to the new school, or graduates of it, which they could also see.
This will be an expansive search.
Alexandra Mandrycky, GM Assistant 34 years of Kraken with experience in data science, is one of those options that would make a strong statement about the intentions of the club.
It is believed that Mandrycky, who worked in the league as an analyst with The Wild in 2015, has at least suggested to Collins as some of whom to speak, thought that it is not clear if he will do SOO.
Another pioneer option would be Kate Madigan, currently Hudson Assistant General Manager with the Devils.
While Madigan’s history is not only analytical, his father, Jim, played university hockey and was an exploration for a long time, including approximately a decade of work with the islanders, he has spoken at the Sloan Sports Analysis Conference of Mit before and.
It was reported on Thursday that Madigan will receive an interview with the islanders.
Mandrycky or Madigan would also be, or of course, the first general manager of Hockey. Including both, there are six gm of female attendees.
There are also options to which the islanders could look at who, although they are not directly part of the analytical community, it is known that they incorporate those perspectives into their thinking.
Two names in that mold would be Jarmo Kekalainen and Mike Gillis, with Kekalainen more likely as someone who knows how to return to the NHL after the Blue Jackets let him go a year of February.
The Finn built a strong reputation of approximately one more decade in Columbus and left the Blue Jackets in a solid position a year ago, with the club improving by 23 points and barely lost the playoffs after the tragic defeat of the lower season of Johnny Gaudeau.
Kekalainen also builds one of the best league prospects pipes, a place that islanders desperately need to improve, in part by empowering their analysis personnel in the draft process.
Gillis, another name that has been brought to Collins, is more a wild card, which has last worked for a team like GM of the 2008-14 Canucks.
This task on a wandering road since then, working in the Swiss League and with the NHLPA after taking a sabbatical year to study other teams and leagues.
That indicates that Gillis would be anxious to look for analysis and different ways of thinking, even if, like crazy, they come from a more traditional hockey background. He also has an island connection: Adam Pelech is his nephew.
Gillis said in 2019 that he had no interest in being a general manager again, but if the islanders divide the roles of GM and president, perhaps he would have interest in the latter.
