After nearly making the playoffs again with an injury-riddled team, the Isles let Nolan go in July 2008, largely for having the temerity to tell his GM that the group of plumbers they had on the ice was not the second coming of the Mike Bossy-Bryan Trottier-Clark Gillies-Denis Potvin Islanders. Snow disagreed, insisting that Bill Guerin, Miroslav Satan, Ruslan Fedotenko, Mike Comrie and Brendan Witt should be enough talent for anyone. The Isles saga continues as Snow searches for a coach who shares his vision.
