We don’t know how the next Islanders decision-maker will approach Kyle Palmieri’s situation because we don’t know who the next decision-maker will be.

Islanders captain Anders Lee on Lou Lamoriello's departure: “It was tough. [We’ve] been through a lot together.”

Mike Sullivan has surely grown and changed over the 12 seasons since he last stood behind the Rangers bench as an assistant coach on John Tortorella’s staff. 

The Knicks have sailed past their preseason expectations, but it doesn’t feel as if the season is an unqualified success quite yet, does it?
