Islanders website has his comments here.

It is also the only hire made, who will decide the future of the current staff, and Patrick Roy with 3-4 years left on his contract which was extended after last season.
Long story short, no Shanahan, no Bergevin, no President.
Not my first choice (wanted Kate Madigan/wrote why) but this would have been the second choice with a solid background, and two covid cups.
Yes, Patrick Roy needs to be replaced as head coach.
Welcome to New York.
