Islanders jumped line to nab Pete DeBoer with more than saving this season in mind

Ever since the coaching carousel stopped a year ago and Pete DeBoer did not have a seat, it’s been obvious that someone would jump at the chance to hire him in this year’s cycle. That someone, it turns out, was the Islanders, who jumped the market on Sunday by making DeBoer their replacement for Patrick Roy, having fired Roy with four games left in the regular season. Reports indicated DeBoer signed a deal with four years of term after this one ends, which means general manager Mathieu Darche envisions him behind the Islanders bench until — at least — Matthew Schaefer is 22 years old and on his second contract.
