— New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) June 27, 2025New York selects D Matthew Schaefer with the first overall selection in the 2025 NHL entry draft here. If there is one generational top pick in the draft, you take him. Period. If it does not work out so be it. Now that Dobson is gone the spot will be there when he's ready. Could be next season or not.
