from Arthur Staple of Newsday,
Garth Snow offered few specifics on how he plans to improve the Islanders this offseason but said he’ll “leave no stone unturned” in trying to get the team to be a Stanley Cup contender.
“I obviously have the same mentality going into this offseason in the 10 years I’ve been here,” Snow said on a conference call Thursday. “We’re looking to take the next step. We’re coming off another 100-point season, but for us it’s not good enough. We’re looking to get better like every team in the league.”///
Snow got some good news on Tuesday when Travis Hamonic rescinded his trade request from before the 2015-16 season began, but the general manager still has to wrangle with the pending free agency of Kyle Okposo, Frans Nielsen and Matt Martin, three of the longest-tenured Islanders.
“That’s the challenge for us,” Snow said. “We need to devise a way to keep all three. Whether that can happen, I can’t answer that right now. We want to maintain the positive strides we’ve made in the recent past and take that step to the next level.”
