The Resume

    He named backup goaltender Garth Snow as his replacement.

    Many hockey pundits blame him for the demise of the Islanders franchise.

    He was instrumental in the Islanders turnaround from a laughingstock to contender.
    His first moves upon buying the team were signing Alexei Yashin and Michael Peca to long-term contracts.
