Islanders GM Lamoriello ‘supportive’ of NHL return plan
Return to Play Plan places Isles in best-of-five series
New York Islanders President and General Manager Lou Lamoriello isn’t quite sure when his playoff-bound team will be able to regather and resume full practices at the team’s facility on Long Island.
But the Hall of Fame executive, who has more than three decades of NHL front-office experience, does believe the league got it right this week when it announced plans to restart the 2019-20 campaign at some point later this summer.
“The league has done a tremendous job in coming up with a best possible scenario that they could to satisfy all of the individual situations of each team,” Lamoriello said during a conference call with reporters Wednesday.
