It's only been 10 days since Toronto Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan announced the decision to transition Lou Lamoriello from his role as general manager into a senior advisor position.

However, the legendary front-office exec has no intention of filling that role, sources told The Athletic's Arthur Staple, leading to "an avalanche of chatter regarding Lamoriello's inevitable arrival on Long Island."

The reports linking Lou to the Islanders come one month after New York's co-owner Jon Ledecky said he would be re-evaluating all aspects of the organization, including GM Garth Snow, who's not exactly a popular guy in New York hockey circles.

Since that presser, discussions surrounding a potential front-office shakeup have died down for the Islanders, with no further statements coming from either Ledecky or the team.

Although, it should also be noted Lamoriello's son, Chris, has been serving as the Isles' director of player personnel since August of 2016. Working side by side with his son might be too good of an opportunity for Lou to pass up.
