The New York Islanders have hired Mathieu Darche, previously an assistant general manager for the Tampa Bay Lightning, as the franchise's new general manager. This marks Darche's first role as GM after contributing to the Lightning's two Stanley Cup victories since 2019. His appointment follows the firing of Lou Lamoriello, and he takes the helm as the Islanders aim to improve following a disappointing season that saw them miss the playoffs. Notably, the Islanders won the draft lottery, granting them the first overall pick for the first time since John Tavares in 2009.
