NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
Winners
New York Islanders
The Islanders left Day 1 with the most impressive haul. Matthew Schaefer, Victor Eklund and Kashawn Aitcheson could transform that organization on and off the ice with their play, identity, competitiveness, talent and charisma.
Though I’m a little lower than the league is on Daniil Prokhorov, who they took at No. 42, that was his range for a lot of people and he gives them another tough-to-play-against player, like Eklund and Aitcheson, who gets after it and does it with a big, strong, 6-5 frame and some dirty areas scoring punch. He could be a really solid third-line forward who adds some size and a different dimension to his line. Think Alexei Toropchenko.
