The National Hockey League announced today that New York Islanders General Manager Lou Lamoriello has been named the winner of the 2020 Jim Gregory Award. The award goes to the top GM of the NHL 2019-2020 season. The Islanders had a record of 83-50-17 and are now competing for the Eastern Conference Finals thanks to the moves of Lamoriello. He also went out and got defenseman Andy Greene and center Jean-Gabriel Pageau at the deadline and added goaltender Semyon Varlamov this off-season to get back to the playoffs two years after the departure of John Tavares. These players fit the Islanders system and were a crucial factor in Lamoriello taking home the award.
