    New York Islanders majority owner Scott Malkin, operating partner John Collins and co-owner Jon Ledecky found their new executive on Friday.

    The NHL coaching fraternity is small, and until Mike Sullivan parted ways with the Pittsburgh Penguins two weeks ago, he and Jon Cooper were the league's longest-tenured coaches. So the two had shared drinks and gatherings over the years. But they're not close buddies and have never sat down to talk about the strategy or teaching or details of NHL coaching. Cooper's assessment of how Sullivan has risen to the upper echelon of NHL coaches is based largely on watching Sullivan's Penguins teams play.
