From Greg Logan of Newsday:

Multiple team sources from the locker room to the front office blamed Nolan for ignoring advice from his handpicked assistants regarding the defensive system the Islanders used and the power-play setup. Miroslav Satan, who scored 17 of his 35 goals in 2005-06 playing down low on the power play, rarely was used that way by Nolan and his production declined to 27 goals, then to 16 last season.

A person close to one top player accused Nolan of “mismanaging his assets.” The person added, “Various people on the team caught Ted Nolan in outright falsehoods.”

The more you read, the more you think it is better that Nolan and the Islanders parted ways.
