I mean, technically, DiPietro is still under contract too.
I’m skeptical of the veracity here
This is so absurd that I honestly can’t believe it.
But also, it’s not like it would prevent Darche from firing them.
I’m almost positive Darche will be firing them. If he was keeping them he wouldn’t have said “we are still evaluating the BPT management.” He would have just said “yeah we are keeping them.”
hes canning them lou just padded their golden parachute
Such bs from Lou
Darche should fire them regardless
Auto pen?
If this isn’t a troll job that’s an absolute disgraceful thing to do by Lou.
Ownership really should not allow that. This isn’t like Wang’s sweetheart deal to Snow on the way out. Malkin could have vetoed this.
If this is real I’m blaming ownership. You should nix it before it gets there
It’s not like they have immunity, Darche can do with them as he pleases
Anyone actually buy this?
Fire them immediately
Wouldn’t surprise me if it is accurate but why is a St Louis Blue analyst the one breaking this news?

Like what wang did for snow before handing over majority control. Fuck Lou 🖕🏻
Lou’s kid has been an absolute flop to the point flop isn’t bad enough. Out ahl team is a pit of darkness I’m not sure I would even want our prospects to be on. Hope it’s not true
So obviously it makes sense to want CL gone but I feel like people put way to much stock in his role. Islanders draft the majority of the players, the Islanders okay BP roster players, the Islanders sign off on everything they do. He isn’t working independently there. He’s there to support the day to day operations of the Bridgeport team. He’s not making any organizational decisions without the Islanders GM’s final say. With Darche here now, Bridgeport will be run how Darche wants it to be ran. If Chris lamerello can keep the books properly it almost doesn’t matter if he’s still here now that Darche is here.
Hilarious that people think he did this as a parting gift. Why do you think Lou is so evil? Grow up people
Rumors of these guys being hands off but allowing an extension out the door is some serious negligence. Malkin and Ledecky should have pulled the company card once they told him they weren’t renewing
I am going to need multiple concrete sources verifying this before I even attempt to wrestle with it logically and emotionally.
The new pope isn’t honoring old arrangements
That’s the most Long Island thing ever to just set your family up with a cushy job on your way out the door.
Doesn’t matter even if they aren’t fired darche doesn’t have to listen to anything they have to say
I’m taking this with a grain of salt until someone on our side confirms.
Ah, nothing to worry about. Darche is in charge. Relax.
