2025 NHL Draft Shockers: Islanders’ Surprising No. 1 Pick Matthew Schaefer Sparks Debate and Drama
Schaefer certainly is among the most talented prospects in this draft class and showcased that ability over the past year. The star defenseman is an extremely strong skater in addition to being a sensational puck mover. Schaefer’s vision on the ice is downright impressive and it definitely doesn’t hurt that he doesn’t have a ton of wear and tear on his tires. He has all the makings of a top pairing defenseman that the Islanders can build around.
Schaefer racked up seven goals and 15 assists to go along with a +21 rating in just 17 games with the Erie Otters in 2024-25.
