Patrick Roy, newly returned to the National Hockey League as the coach of the New York Islanders, is sparking speculation about a potential role change.

Informed journalist Stefen Rosner suggests that Roy could succeed Lou Lamoriello as general manager, while Benoît Desrosiers could become the head coach.

"I think at some point, Roy will be the GM and Desrosiers will be the head coach." - Stefen Rosner

This possibility is already fueling discussions in New York. Although Roy has been perceived more as a coach, the prospect of a promotion to general management remains open.


The future of the Islanders is intriguing to follow.
