2025 NHL Draft Shockers: Islanders’ Surprising No. 1 Pick Matthew Schaefer Sparks Debate and Drama
The NHL offseason officially began on Friday when the league held the 2025 NHL Draft.
The New York Islanders had quite a busy draft day. Earlier on Friday, the team traded defenseman Noah Dobson to the Montreal Canadiens and landed the 16th and 17th overall picks in the deal.
With the No. 1 pick in the 2025 draft, the Islanders selected Erie Otters (OHL) defenseman Matthew Schaefer to help stabilize their back end for years to come. Schaefer registered seven goals and 15 assists to go along with a +21 rating in just 17 games this past season after dealing with a collarbone injury.
