Milbury plans to step aside as soon as a replacement can be found. Look for the Brent Sutter rumors to begin. He is a former Islander star and has a track record that would entice an owner to give him full control.

Milbury pulled a lot of bonehead moves. At the top of my list is drafting Dipietro ahead of Heatly but I'm sure everybody has there own favorites.

And following it up with a 10 year deal. Good thing he learned from that mistake and tried to sign Dipietro to a 15 year deal.

I for one am sorry to see Milbury go.
He helped the Hab's in the playoffs enormously by his presence in Boston.
