Its the process and timing that makes no sense. You fire two prominent ops guys, one who may have been on the ice yesterday during a rookie minicamp, so your future can see firsthand how messed up we are? You announce the firing of an icon without another position already in place but release that they'hope' of another job? You do this all in light of the pr mess that was kovalchuk? I'm not even sure Milstein would have been that thoughtless. Somethings brewing. Its not the act if justified. Its the process and timing that makes no sense.

I am starting to think those who say Wang is crazy are right. Perhaps he's just too trusting in certain people like Milbury and Snow and doesn't have faith in anyone else but if you ask me if the organization is better off with or without Jankowski and Trottier it is easy to see they were better off with them.

I don't just spew out venom and react emotionally ... But now I really really have my doubts about the sustainability of this organization ... It has been falling apart since the arena issue first became an issue. The ONLY thing about this organization that I have felt positive about the last 4 years has been the rebuild, and the core of people behind the rebuild, and devlopment of those players (Janks, Trotts and Carins) ... Now you tell me 2 days in a row that another 3rd of that team is gone? Trottier has been my all-time fave player ... and I learned from him both as a fan and a player ... and he personally taught me things on the ice 20+ years ago that made me a 50 goal a year scorer instead of a 4th line wing 5 goal a year scorer. I now have ZERO Faith in our leadership at the top to get this organization back into contention. All the faith they built with me over the last 4 years is now gone. Every bit. They proved that they can't get an arena, they can't get an impact free agent, they can't stop the circus atmospher, they can't even be loyal to the guys that were a positive impact on the product and were also fan favorite front office guys. I wouldn't order season tickets to this team if I lived in the Marriott. I'll be there Saturday ... but that's for the kids on the ice and off the ice. This is it for me ... no more 2 hour drive to "Wang's World" that costs me a day's wages. Not until SnoWang proves to me thjey're commited to success without shoe string mentality.

As for Jankowski... we've gotten to know about him from this blog. Seems there are many Chicken Little posters who want to make mountains out of mole hills. These types of moves happen from time to time in every organization. Get over it. I understand the frustration over Trots… he is an Islander champion.

I don't recall big news flashes or press releases for other NY teams changing these type of positions. I know Trottier is a legend, but lets not get crazy about this. There are plenty of things to be upset about with the Islanders, but I don't think this is one of them. Do fans of other teams get this worked up about scout and player development director changes.
