Lou Lamoriello no longer has a job.

The Islanders decided to let him go yesterday, even though he had been with the Islanders since the 2018-2019 season.

A page is being turned on Long Island.

Some are also thinking that Lou Lamoriello’s NHL career may be over. Because, let’s not forget, he’s still 82 years old…

But not so fast.

According to Elliotte Friedman(32 Thoughts Podcast), there’s a lot of talk right now about Lamoriello… and the Sabres.

The tipster claims that the Sabres could potentially be interested in bringing him to Buffalo – perhaps in a more minimal role – and clearly, this is going to get a lot of attention in the coming days/months.

Kevyn Adams (DG) is still under contract with the Sabres.

But with the team disappointing since his arrival in Buffalo, there are rumors that he will be fired before the start of next season.

And that’s where Lou Lamoriello’s name starts to sound intriguing.

However… you’ll tell me if it’s just me, but Lamoriello and the Sabres just don ‘t seem to fit.

Unless the Sabres want to go after John Tavares this summer… Hehe.

No joke, Buffalo needs to find a way to get the club back on track. The Sabres have some good youngsters in the organization and some quality players in the dressing room, but they need to find someone who can get the team back on the ice.

And I find it hard to believe that Lamoriello – at his age – has what it takes to fulfill a mission like this.

If the Sabres want to hire him as advisor X or a specialist of some kind, that would be different.

Lamoriello could help the organization in a simpler role because he has the experience to do it and because he has a good field hockey head… but his good years as GM are already behind him.

And everyone knows it.

– Who’s going to win it?

– Good answer.
