I think it is more likely that when Lou and JT met and discussed the team that JT probably was on board with DW getting canned and asked that they give him another job with the Islanders and the organization complied. I still fully expect the Islanders to have him signed to an 8 year extension in the near future.

I think JT is leaving the Island, but I don't think it's because of Weight getting canned. I think its because they have spun their wheels for too long and are now sliding back down the hill.
