NHL Rumors: Is Mathieu Darche the Missing Piece That Could Make or Break the Islanders’ Season?
Stepping into the role of the New York Islanders’ general manager, Mathieu Darche faces a monumental task dressed up in a tight deadline. No longer shadowed by whispers of Brendan Shanahan’s involvement as President of Hockey Ops, Darche now holds the reins solo, save for a nod from COO John Collins.

With the offseason hurtling toward him like a freight train, the clock ticks loud and unforgiving. From assembling his trusted management crew to navigating the impending draft, scouting, and roster puzzles, the pressure mounts. Decisions loom large over players like Scott Mayfield and Pierre Engvall, while key contract talks promise to test Darche’s vision and resolve.
