The New York Islanders will not renew the contract of general manager Lou Lamoriello. After a disastrous season saw them miss the playoffs in 2025, they are moving on from the Hall of Famer. At 82 years old, the three-time Stanley Cup Champion is a free agent again. The Islanders announced the news on Tuesday.

“The New York Islanders organization announced today that Lou Lamoriello’s contract as President and General Manager will not be renewed,” a post on the team’s social media read. “Effective immediately, Operating Partner John Collins will lead a search to find the next General Manager.”

Lamoriello joined the Islanders in 2018, hiring coach Barry Trotz as his first move. The duo brought the Islanders to the Conference Final twice, but could not beat the Tampa Bay Lightning either time.
