NHL GM's job could depend on a big decision from his captain!

The always well respected Elliotte Friedman explored potential next moves for the New York Islanders as they missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Here's what he said about Garth Snow and John Tavares. Fanrag sports reported what he said on on NHL Network.

I thought Garth was really good on the conference call today. He was asked a couple of times about his future, and he just said, ‘Look – you’ve got to put your head down and do your job.’ So what that said to me was they still don’t know what their hockey ops future is going to be there."

I think they’re going to have an idea in the next two-to-three weeks about John Tavares. Is he going to give them an indication that he is going to sign an extension, or is he going to give them an indication that he is going to wait."

I think that is going to kind of force their hand and shape their future. Do they feel they’re going to have to trade him. Do they feel he’s going to stay."

I think the way Tavares reacts with them in the next two-to-three weeks, in terms of what idea he gives them about whether or not he will sign an extension, will answer a lot of their other questions.
