130: Leadership, Loyalty, and the New NHL: A Conversation with Lou Lamoriello

Lou Lamoriello joins John Shannon and Daren Millard on 100% Hockey to discuss his transition from longtime NHL general manager to his new role as a consultant. Lamoriello outlines what his day-to-day looks like now, how he supports the organization, and why the shift made sense at this stage of his career.

He also shares his thoughts on the New York Islanders, the evolution of the GM position, and how changes around the league — from cap pressures to player movement — have reshaped the job. Lou talks about why building strong relationships with players was always a priority for him, and weighs in on topics including the new dress code, Olympic preparation, and how the league continues to evolve.
