Circus, Circus

To update Matt's post on the gong show on Long Island, reports are that Hall-of-Famer Pat LaFontaine has resigned. Memo to Ted Nolan: RUN!!!

Pierre Lebrun said on The Score tonight that he actually had to email the story to a GM today, because the GM thought Lebrun was pulling a prank on him. He refused to believe it until he saw actual evidence. And here's a semi-serious question: since Garth Snow is now the General Manager, as well as a player still under contract to the Islanders, can he trade himself to another team? I wonder how this went over with the League Office?

If I was a General Manager, I'd be calling and asking about Rick DiPietro right now. He's an RFA, this team is stupid enough to do anything, and they seem to have a goalie thing going on. Plus, Snow would finally be able to get that starting position back. Pick up the phooone...

Comments:

Didn't Snow retire? If yes, can teams trade the contracts of players who have retired?
 


Ya. But the whole thing is so crazy, I wouldn't be surprised by anything at this point.
 


Yeah, he's retired (as af two hours before becoming GM), but I think his contract still counts against the cap, because of his age.
 


Party on Wang! Party on Garth!
 


Is there a market where you can short NYI stock? Whats the over/under for point total for 06/07? 65? 70?
