Donald Michael "Slip" Maloney (born 5 September 1958 in Lindsay, Ontario) is a former NHL player, and is currently the general manager of the Phoenix Coyotes. He played for the New York Rangers for parts of eleven seasons. His best season came in the 1982–83 season, in which he tallied 29 goals and 69 points in 78 games. In addition, he played with his brother Dave Maloney while with the Rangers.
Maloney was traded to the Hartford Whalers during the 1988–89 season. He also played for the Rangers' perennial rivals, the New York Islanders, from 1989 to 1991.
He served as the Islanders General Manager from 1992 to 1995. Maloney served as the Rangers' vice-president of player personnel and was also Assistant GM to Glen Sather from 1996 to 2007. On May 28, 2007, he was named General Manager of the Phoenix Coyotes. However, although he has the title of general manager, Maloney serves primarily in an advisory role to Coyotes managing partner and head coach Wayne Gretzky, who has the final say in hockey matters.
In 2009, Maloney was ranked No. 26 on the all-time list of New York Rangers in the book 100 Ranger Greats (John Wiley & Sons).
