Okay, something's up. It's easy to sit here and criticize but Janks and Trotts? Something had to happen to spur these moves.

I have no idea what did happen, but something did. A leak? Maybe this is where the 10 years / $10 mil came from, Garth found out and it blew his "wait in the weeds" strategy. Again, just speculation.

But these moves, and more importantly their timing, say to me something happened. I sense a breach of trust...

Wang doesn't trust anyone. He's sending is son off to boarding school as we speak. He'll be up for adoption by September. They're all out to get you, Charlie!

Maybe they told Wang what they thought of how he's running the organization. :dontknow:

This one hurts just as bad if not more than yesterdays news.

I cannot wait to see how this will be spun into good news or better yet cast aside until we know more.
I know enough before these 2 punches to the gut.

Maybe, just maybe..there's a restructure in the org coming following the announcement of the Lighthouse project getting approved??? Maybe, just maybe we'll get a new building mini-mini city and and and...wait, my pipe went out..lemme light it back up....scuse me...

ahhhh, (coughcough) yeah like I was saying, the future is bright. Project Hope boyeee!!!

BTW here's one of the posts in CB's comment page:

When selling a business you try and lower your liabilities as much as possible. They have no choice but to get to the cap floor, so they will do that. But these extra positions which do not have an immediate and large impact need to come off the books. The Islanders probably just took off 200 to 300K off their books the last two days. Wang must have a clue as to the TOH proposal coming out and does not like it, so he is preparing to sell.

Makes sense, no? Maybe the Wilpons will buy the Isles to move them next to the Mets. :dontknow:

I would say having Trottier on your staff is more of an asset if you're selling than a liability.
