Evan Gold Poised for Move to New York Islanders After Bruins Tenure

In a potential shakeup for the New York Islanders, former Boston Bruins assistant general manager Evan Gold may be on the verge of joining the team, according to reports from Mark Divver. Gold, who has been with the Bruins since the 2015-16 season and has held the title of assistant general manager since 2019-20, is recognized for his analytical approach to the game.

At 46, Gold has also taken on the role of general manager for the Providence Bruins, the AHL affiliate of the Boston club, during the 2023-24 season. His experience and analytical mindset could bring a fresh perspective to the Islanders as they look to bolster their front office.

Currently, the Islanders have three assistant general managers: Ryan Bowness, Steve Pellegrini, and Chris Lamoriello. Bowness, who serves as the Islanders’ Director of Player Personnel, was a finalist for the Vancouver Canucks general manager position earlier this summer, while Lamoriello is slated to be the general manager of Hamilton in their inaugural AHL season, with one year remaining on his current contract.

Gold’s candidacy as a finalist for general manager roles in both Vancouver and Toronto this summer further underscores his credentials. His addition to the Islanders could signal a significant step forward for the organization.
