Lamoriello made his comments, either this team starts bouncing back to win games or there will be little to talk about moving forward.

New York Resigns Johnny Boychuk

New York Islander Fan Central | 3/12/2015 03:11:00 PM | |
Islanders website: Announces Johnny Boychuk has signed a seven year contract extension.

“Johnny’s influence in our dressing room, both on and off the ice, has been immeasurable,” Islanders General Manager Garth Snow said. “His veteran presence is an asset that we are thrilled to help lead our club.”

“Ever since I came to the Islanders, the organization has been incredible to both myself and my family,” Boychuk said. “I am proud to be an Islander and look forward to competing every night in front of such a passionate fan base for many years to come.”




 USA Today: Kevin Allen reports Boychuk signed a front-loaded contract.

NYIFC Comments: 
This would be the first front-loaded contract signed in New York Islander history, virtually everyone signed here is back-loaded. (including Tavares)

Great day for the New York Islanders at their final team photo day at the Coliseum, for an ownership that continues to lock up it's core players as they have done for years and for Johnny Boychuk, who get's to be a big part of an excellent defense that will only keep getting better, and another complete endorsement of how this team's management is respected by the players in that room.

And it's a great day for this fan base.

Simply put Mr Boychuk was not added to the header here because it seemed he likely would test free agency.

That can now be changed.

Snow Fighting For His Future Goes All In Acquires Boychuk, Leddy/Ho-Sang ELC/Roster Cuts

I did write it's never been a busier time.

NYIFC Comments:
Obviously it's win now or go home for Garth Snow who's successor will not have many draft picks. Snow traded with teams who had to trade and used the system to his advantage.

Brennan gone after signing him in July and no doubt he has every right to be very angry with his agent.

Pokka gone, with a slew of draft picks, the price for one likely rental was not cheap.

Without a doubt Snow improved his 2014-15 defense today. I know Friday was preseason but his team looked completely lost and were dominated and that included Tavares and Okposo. 

New York keeps Nick Leddy because he's an RFA. Boychuk has a year to learn to love it here or moves at the trade deadline.

Anders Nilsson's rights gone. 

Ho-Sang got his ELC early.

Chemistry does not happen on paper, it's going to take some time, but the idea of hoping deHaan stayed healthy with Visnovsky or were going to step back into the top four at their best is just not the history here. These injuries always linger. 

Is Snow done? He has more players to move to get under the limit. Maybe he goes in for a first line left wing?

Hopefully our new players want to be part of this.
