Lou Lamoriello and the Islanders are giving up on two long-time players
Lou Lamoriello and the New York Islanders have been tasked with some tough decisions throughout the offseason.
Two of their most prominent UFAs include the likes of Cal Clutterbuck and Matt Martin. They have both been with the team for years, and fans have been hoping that they would stick around. However, according to Ethan Sears of the New York Post, the Islanders are likely going to be moving on from both of them.
"'We'll probably be moving on,'
Lamoriello told The Post. That isn't saying things can't change. We're talking about two veterans, two quality individuals. Two team leaders and two real good hockey players, so we'll have to see how things come about. But we haven't changed our thought process today any different than the last time we spoke."

This is a tough decision but one that Islanders fans will surely understand. The league is getting younger and moving on from older fourth-liners is a move that just makes sense for all parties involved.
