- Darche, 48, joins after six seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning, where he was a two-time Stanley Cup-winning assistant and playoff-consistent executive.

- With more than $25 million available under the salary cap and the first overall pick in the draft, the Islanders have positioned Darche to strengthen a roster struggling offensively and build a competitive team.
