What Anders Lee thinks about Lou Lamoriello's exit, Islanders' stunning lottery win
Anders Lee knows that this is a business, that general managers are hired to be fired and every other cliché you can throw at the situation. Still, Lou Lamoriello's omnipresence around the Islanders over the past seven years made it seem at times like he would leave only on his own terms. Advertisement And watching a general manager who built and repeatedly stood by the current Islanders core leave wasn't easy for the captain. 'It was tough. [We've] been through a lot together,' Lee told The Post on Tuesday at BTIG's Charity Day, where he was promoting his Jam Kancer in the Kan Foundation along with the Islanders Children's Foundation. 'Worked with one another alongside, working towards a common goal. We've been through a lot. Anytime you have that relationship with someone where not only is there a working relationship, but there's a relationship where people care about each other, it's never easy. 'Unfortunately it's a part of our business and how things work. We'll have to continue to look forward here and move forward.' Advertisement Lamoriello led the Islanders to two consecutive conference finals in 2020 and 2021, but the team has failed to win a playoff series since then. Their failure to make the playoffs this season was the final straw for ownership, which announced a month ago it would not renew the 82-year-old's contract as president of hockey operations and general manager. It's not yet clear whether Lamoriello will stay on in an advisory role once a replacement is hired. 3 Anders Lee said former general manager Lou Lamoriello helped him become a better captain or the Islanders. NHLI via Getty Images Advertisement 'In so many ways, Lou was everyone's best mentor,' Lee said. 'And was able to tell you honestly where and how he felt about the game individually, where he felt the team was. His guidance for me personally as a captain and the position I had as a player on this team go unmatched. So grateful for everything he's done for me and my family personally. 'Lou is one that could always tell you honestly, maybe not always what you wanted to hear, but what was gonna make you a better person and a better player. He played that role for everyone that came through our building during his tenure. I think all of us are just extremely grateful for who he was and the character that he has taking us through all those times.' St. John's coach Rick Pitino, who was hired by Lamoriello at Providence College in 1985 and has maintained a close relationship with him since, echoed the sentiment. 3 The Islanders let Lou Lamoriello go as the team's president and general manager and have not hired a new one yet. Corey Sipkin / New York Post Advertisement 'He leads with tremendous honesty,' Pitino told The Post. 'He cares about professional athletes who play in his organization as if they're part of his family and that's unheard of in professional sports today.' The Islanders have yet to make a hire, but reports indicated Monday night that Marc Bergevin and Mathieu Darche had both received second interviews for the position. Whoever gets the role will jump headfirst into the scouting combine, which begins June 1, with the Islanders holding the No. 1 pick after a shock lottery win. 3 Rick Pitino, talking to the media during a Mets game in April, said Lou Lamoriello led the Islanders with 'tremendous honesty.' AP 'That was a pretty fun 20 minutes there, seeing the balls come out and all that stuff. Have a little spark for us as a team,' Lee said. 'I think it's very exciting. There's some great options out there. Someone that's gonna make a great impact for our club.' Defenseman Matthew Schaefer is widely rated as the top prospect in this class, with centers Michael Misa and James Hagens — a Long Island native — also possibilities to go first overall. 'These guys [the scouting staff] know what they're doing up top. They'll make a great choice for our team,' Lee said. 'From my understanding there's some great options out there. Someone that's gonna make a great impact for our club.' Advertisement The Islanders said in a statement that Bo Horvat sustained a lower-body injury at World Championships for Team Canada, and will see team doctors on Long Island. Horvat will miss the remainder of World Championships, as Hockey Canada announced that Porter Martone, a projected top five pick in the draft, will replace him on the roster.

What Brian Cashman thinks about Yankees' early start and what's next
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free A year after Juan Soto dominated during his lone season in The Bronx, the Yankees are in first place in the AL East, and the players they pivoted to after losing out to the Mets on the right fielder have played a significant role in keeping them there. Now Soto is with the Mets, slumping after a mostly miserable Subway Series in The Bronx and having to explain why he's not running out fly balls, while the Yankees have hardly missed a beat and are taking advantage of a weak division. General manager Brian Cashman, not surprisingly, is pleased with his team's results for the first six-plus weeks of the year. 'We're certainly happy with the way this team is coming together,'' said Cashman, who was at financial services firm BTIG's annual Charity Day, where he represented Covenant House. 'They're grinding on a daily basis. We've got a long way to go.' 3 Brian Cashman's offseason signings of Max Fried, Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger have paid dividends for the Yankees. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Certainly, the early results indicate that the famous pivot the Yankees took after Soto turned down their 16-year, $760 million offer for a 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets has worked out as well as they could have hoped. Without Soto's salary, the Yankees signed left-hander Max Fried to an eight-year, $218 million deal and Paul Goldschmidt to a one-year $12.5 million deal, and traded with the Cubs for Cody Bellinger, who was owed $25 million this season and has a $25 million player option for next season. So far this year, Fried has been perhaps the best pitcher in the sport, leading the majors with a 1.29 ERA through his first 10 starts; Goldschmidt is hitting as well as he did in his prime despite being 37; and Bellinger has seemingly found his swing after a rough first few weeks to the season. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS On the success of the newcomers, Cashman said, 'You try to go to the marketplace and figure things out, between what we have and what we don't have, and try to run into some opportunities. They've been doing what we'd hoped.' And that doesn't stop now. With Memorial Day approaching, the time of year when teams traditionally begin to really assess their teams, Cashman acknowledged more work could still be done with the new-look roster. 3 Max Fried has seamlessly taken over the Yankees' ace role with Gerrit Cole being injured. Getty Images 'If we can improve on things, we'll try to do that, as well,' Cashman said. Asked if the team needs a third baseman in the wake of Oswaldo Cabrera's fractured ankle likely sidelining him for the rest of the season, the GM said, 'We'll see. It's hard to make improvements this part of the season. We've got what we've got. We'll assess it and move forward with opportunities as they start to present themselves at whatever positions they do.' For now, the Yankees have Oswald Peraza and Jorbit Vivas mostly splitting time at third, with Peraza starting there Tuesday night for the series opener against the Rangers in The Bronx. 3 Paul Goldschmidt, who has been hitting like he did in his prime, celebrates with teammates after scoring a run during an earlier game in May. Robert Sabo for NY Post The addition of Devin Williams to the bullpen in a trade with Milwaukee was initially a disaster, but the right-hander has been better in a setup role for Luke Weaver, and Aaron Boone said Tuesday there are no plans for putting Williams back in the closer role. Beyond that, the offense has relied heavily on Aaron Judge, in the midst of another historic season. 'That's Aaron being Aaron,'' Cashman said. 'He's always someone you can count on.' But Cashman is not putting too much importance on being in first place in May. 'Our guys are grinding and fighting to get wins every day,' Cashman said. 'Like any team, we're rolling through the ups and the downs of the season. We've got a long way to go.'

The Mike Sullivan quality that left strong impression on Henrik Lundqvist
Mike Sullivan has surely grown and changed over the 12 seasons since he last stood behind the Rangers bench as an assistant coach on John Tortorella's staff. The impression left from that stint, though, left Henrik Lundqvist with a strong impression for Sullivan's turn into the Broadway spotlight. Advertisement 'I loved playing for Sully,' the Hall of Fame netminder told The Post at BTIG's Charity Day on Tuesday, where he was promoting the Henrik Lundqvist Foundation. 'He was great. Clear messages. 'Obviously it's very different to be an assistant coach vs. a head coach. I never had him as a head coach, but back then, I thought there was such a great tandem of Torts and Sully. We had a lot of success. As a person, I really enjoyed having him around. I think it's a great hire.' After Sullivan and the Penguins parted ways, it looked like a foregone conclusion that Rangers general manager Chris Drury — who had long had his eye on Sullivan — would go hard after the two-time Cup winner. Indeed, Sullivan was announced as the newest Rangers head coach shortly thereafter, with Drury finally netting his fellow Boston University alumnus. Advertisement Rangers new head coach Mike Sullivan speaks when the team welcomed him at a press conference on Thursday, May 8, 2025. Robert Sabo for NY Post With the Rangers coming off a disastrous 2024-25 season in which they missed the playoffs and the team looked disengaged throughout, Sullivan will need to reinstall a winning culture around a group that may see some major changes this offseason. 'I think anytime you have a new coach come in, they always want to establish their style, their mentality a little bit,' Lundqvist said. 'Obviously you take into consideration the team and the organization's culture, but as a coach, you want to establish your own thing. We'll see how it plays out, but I do think he has all the qualities; you look at what he's done in Pittsburgh now for so many years. Players respect him.' Advertisement The players, Lundqvist said, might be operating with some extra urgency this summer as well after how the season went. 'If you're a player, you just look to build,' he said. 'Physically, mentally, technically, that's what you worry about over the summer. Yeah you take a few weeks off to rest, but then the preparation starts. You want to come back. Doesn't matter how last season ended, it's over. Henrik Lundqvist speaks onstage during Warner Bros. Discovery's 2025 Upfront Presentation at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on May 14, 2025 Getty Images for Warner Bros. Discovery Advertisement 'So now all the focus is on what can I do to get better as a player? It's three things: technical, physical, mental. Everybody has work to do and it doesn't change if you win or not. I think sometimes you go into a summer where you're a little more motivated to do a little bit extra. 'Maybe this is one of those summers.'
