Thompson Promoted To New York/New York 13th In Lottery

---

The head coach has to pick his people, same as Trotz, same as Doug Weight even if he made poor choices. Thompson finished only four over, he had to know about Hamilton before he took the job in Bridgeport. If Darche forced this hire it's another mistake.

---

#NYC #NYI #isles Capuano inherited his staff/Weight, inherited Capuano's staff as an interim coach. As bad as Weight's choices were with no experience that is what Deboer must have, not two inherited guys. If this is to keep Thompson because he did not want Hamilton, he can quit.

#NYC #NYI #isles Brent Thompson won a division in 2011-12 and was promoted to New York. He lasted two years with Capuano 12-13-14 (bad years) and went back to Bridgeport for seven more years. Rocky Thompson was only four games over .500

New York Reviews: Roy/Darche

#NYC #NYI #isles Roy: B Got team to fifteen over scoring two goals or fewer in 1/2 games. Most wins ugly or games they got to overtime. Unconventional from player decisions preferences to endless line juggling to one note joy, swagger speeches. Players bought in clearly happy.

— New York Islander Fan Central (@NYIFANCENTRAL) May 5, 2026

#NYC #NYI #isles Darche: F Decisions that cost many draft picks, cap space that frankly at best were short-term fixes that largely failed. Nice man/well spoken. Kept overpaying, does not believe in rentals when that was needed. Roy firing was bad/forced decision reflected panic.

— New York Islander Fan Central (@NYIFANCENTRAL) May 5, 2026

#NYC #NYI #isles Darche approved or permitted his coach to change Schaefer's position to RD and had him playing thirty minute games. Horrible risk management for a generational talent at age 18. What if he got hurt? You have to protect Schaefer, Darche risked his future. Why?

— New York Islander Fan Central (@NYIFANCENTRAL) May 5, 2026

#NYC #NYI #isles If Darche believed in Roy he finishes the season. It felt like he got Deboer to get a jump on the free agent coaches market. After all his bad gambles/several levels, he went very unconventional on when he hired a long-term coach. Major questions about this GM.

#NYC #NYI #isles Right moves
Qualify Dobson/Romanov, offer another player (Pageau/Cizikas) pick for Heineman.
No Palmieri/Boqvist ext.
George makes NYI/maybe no injury.
Tsyplakov plays every gm Shabanov also. Duclair in until he's out for good/waivers
No #10-81-4
64=center
