The Isles have a MASSIVE decision to make at #1… Let me know for y'all, which team are you on? Do you think they take Matthew Schaefer, Michael Misa, or even James Hagens in the end? #GravGang
schaefer easily
I may be prejudiced as an Erie Otters STH, but I think Schaefer goes 1st overall. I’ve watched him play for the last 1 1/2 years and he is a special player. Not Connor McDavid special (but who is?), but he should be a good 1-2 d-man in the NHL.
Islanders need more quality Dman. Schaefer
Trade Pelech and Pulock or Dobson + Pick(s) for Utahs pick imo. Grab Schaefer first, or trade down with San Jose and grab Misa, then hope blackhawks don't take Hagens (I don't think they take him).
the answer: james hagens
the reason: so misa falls to my chicago blackhawks 🙏🏼
Hagens going first overall
Your videos are like a vacation for me. Thank you for the coziness and interesting stories you share.🟡🌌‼️
They got an aging d core already , they need someone to play with Barzel
NCAA players like the metro division it seems like 😂 (mcGroarty, hagens, Perrault, leonard).
Misa.
– sharks fans
Islanders should trade down several times and accumulate draft capital for NEXT year and absolutely tank in 2025-2026. They could end up with four high prospects in a way better draft pool. But they won't because nobody ever thinks long term like that. Cheers from Ottawa🍁
Miss nets tha same points as Tavares last OHL season in two less games. Beast. Shaeffer plays just 17 games and is a shoe in for #1? I want Misa, then trade an asset for a young top 4 mobile D.
As an Islander fan, i feel like Schaefer is probably the pick but as a non hockey scout/expert, it feels weird that he's thought of so highly after being injured for most of the season. Makes me want Misa over him but heck, i still can't believe they won the lottery. Even if they pick Hagens. What a blessing this is.
i still think its rigged they cut to commercial and then we come back and the biggest market in the Nhl, magically jumps 10 spots seems a little to good to be true
I’m hoping for Hagens. Long Island kid to bring the Isles back to the promise land.
Who says the draft lottery prevents tanking? Both New York and Utah knew that they would be one-and-done if they made the playoffs. So, they tanked to get into the lottery. Watch for more borderline playoff teams to use this strategy in the future.
Isles need a big time player and there really isn't one but Schaeffer gives you likely a first line D man so it is the best they can.Schaeffer does play a lot like other NHL defensemen likes to rush it up pinch in deep go to the net in other words doesn't care much about defense but is just really good.
IMO Misa would be big mistake bottom teams looking for that LEADER will not find it in Misa.
It’s a no brained. Schaefer.
If The New GM does not pick Schaefer he should be fired immediately! Hands down you take the best player and everyone has Schaefer as #1. If the Islanders want another pick in the top five to take home town boy Hagens then Trade Dobson for that pick and let another team pay Dobson who can’t play defense 9 mill a year! Otherwise just take Schaefer and be Happy! You want to give Dobson a bridge deal then fine! Adding Schaefer and 2 more first rounders next year will really help rebuild the youth of this team. Also would be great if Darche was given the GM role with Holland as President. Then sign Isaac Howard making him immediately one of your top 6 left wingers. Sign Boeser and let Kyle Palms go free agent! The new GM really could transform the team into a special team in a 2 to 3 year period. Hopefully the new GM is Bold and up to dealing whoever it might be to advance The Islanders future.
How can you say who the islanders will pick when you don't know who the GM is going to be
I personally feel you take Schaefer and try calling Utah about pick 4 and hope Hagens is still there
Feels so good we get a bit of limelight. Thanks Graviteh.
Getting a legit NUMBER 1 DMAN is like finding a unicorn.
I'd rather grab Dmen off of FA than spend a #1 pick on them because of how inconsistent their development is compared to forwards. Islanders have been desperate for scoring and a true dominant forward since forever, Misa has to be the pick
There is just no Gavin McKenna this draft so I could see Islanders maybe trade down considering there is no generational talent on the board.
Bruins next year please
