The Islanders Welcome Home Matthew Schaefer, Victor Eklund, And Kashawn Aitcheson! The Islanders officially welcome home first round picks Matthew Schaefer, Victor Eklund, and Kashawn Aitcheson as they touch down in Long Island from LA, where they’ll begin the next phase of their journey with the organization.

The three highly touted prospects are expected to make an immediate impact, each bringing a unique skill set to the Islanders’ pipeline. Schaefer, a commanding presence on the blue line, is known for his leadership and two-way ability. Eklund, a dynamic forward with exceptional hockey IQ, adds creativity and speed up front. Aitcheson, a physical, high-energy winger, rounds out the group with grit and offensive upside.

Their arrival marks the beginning of rookie orientation and summer development activities as the Islanders continue to build toward the future. The organization and fanbase alike are eager to welcome these promising young players to their new home.

  1. Leafs fan here and Islanders dominated this draft. Both d you guys got are prototype NHL dman. Dusty byflugen and Cale makar in the same draft is ridiculous.

  2. Wow. I'm old enough to remember when the Isles were winning Cups and didn't have enough in the bank to afford a shot clock,
