The New York Islanders have appointed Mathieu Darche as the general manager and executive vice president of the team. He will succeed Lou Lamoriello, whose contract was not renewed for the upcoming season. Darche will move to New York after spending several years with the Tampa Bay Lightning organization as an assistant manager and director of hockey operations. He won the Stanley Cup with the team in 2020 and 2021. Under Lamoriello, the Islanders qualified for the Stanley Cup Playoffs five times in seven years but did not win any series in the last four seasons. The team missed the postseason in 2024-25, finishing with a 35-35-12 record. Darche has a busy summer ahead, as the Islanders have several pending free agents and hold the No. 1 pick in the 2025 draft.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerRead More News
