DeBoer Takes Islanders Helm After Stars Exit
Pete DeBoer, the coaching lifer who couldn't quite crack the code in Dallas, inks a deal to right the ship in New York with the Islanders. Front offices buzzed about this move for weeks after his Stars tenure ended abruptly, knowing his systems fit Lou Lamoriello's no-nonsense blueprint perfectly. The Isles, still stinging from recent playoff flameouts, hand him the keys to a roster with blue-line bite but forward-line questions that demand quick answers.
