For my fellow islanders fans, check out this report on a potential target for the islanders 1st round pick this draft! Could be the future partner of Schaefer for years to come!

@RTaub_ Maybe the islanders think so highly of Eklund that he was considered untouchable so his name wouldn’t be thrown around, cause by your logic Danny Nelson would be a better prospect than Eklund too

English

Rob Taub@RTaub_·1d

Aitcheson was a part of every possible deal at the deadline. He was the name that kept being mentioned, so for that to me he’s #1 on the rankings. People can disagree, but that’s just how I determine it.

Mark Doherty@MD_scouting

@RTaub_ Kash scoring goals on and not being able to defend against 16/17 year olds in the OHL is not better than Eklund playing top 6 minutes in the best mens league outside of NA for 2 and a half seasons. I do respect the Gamzin love though

Can confirm @TheFourthPeriod report that #Isles prospect Victor Eklund (2025, No. 16) will be coming over to join organization shortly. Signed ELC last summer. Believe he'll be headed to Bridgeport. @TheHockeyNews thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-i…

The Europeans are getting drastically overlooked in this class, especially considering the fact that the CHL is weaker than it’s ever been now that older/better players are leaving for the NCAA

The Don is spot on. Privalov is right up there in 1st overall discussions (#1 on my list). Just so physically dominant at such a young age with a ton of skill to back it. A joy to watch

The Prospect Don@TheProspectDon

Nazar Privalov is a 6'4 C/LW out of Russia that could find his way into the #1 pick conversation in 2027. He is skilled, has great hands, a shot that he is very deceptive, averages nearly 3 hits a game playing 17 min a night & 7 shots a game. Nazar has 30G 19A 49P in 51GP in the MHL

Alexis Joseph vs Landon DuPont will be a fun conversation for the 1st overall pick 2027 NHL Draft. It's very early and anything can happen, but Joseph is a 6'5 Center with 24G 36A 60P in 54GP in the Q at 16 years old. He has the size, the hands, Hockey IQ, shot to be an elite player in the NHL for a long time. He averages 3:15 min on the PP and 1:42 min on the PK, he is over 50% on his Faceoffs.

@LGRWProspects Top 2 player in this draft class and he’s not 2

English

Red Wings Prospects@LGRWProspects·2d

@MD_scouting Love watching him. Probably have 25+ viewings. To have that level of skill and have it match the level of compete and effort away from the puck is special imo.

Stenberg lives for the big moments, he’ll if a shift, can’t believe they didn’t score

Red Wings Prospects@LGRWProspects

Wild shift from Noah Dower Nilsson(3rd round’23) stenberg and Niederbach. Stenberg just wants the puck and wants to make plays. Sets NDN up for a grade A chance and then NDN gets another grade A chance at the end and misses the net.

Here's a fun thought experiment since y'all are loving the story of this card What if we graded Aitcheson as a forward? How would his card change? Up across the board... for your viewing pleasure #Isles fans

Foley@NHLFoley

Kashawn Aitcheson is a unique defenseman, bringing a mix of aggression, goal-scoring, and hitting ability. He was a top-tier talent for Barrie. A defenseman who didn't have to worry all too much about defense. So he scored instead.

@NHLFoley Just hard to wrap my head around how a defenseman who struggles to defend, retrieve, and break out the puck in a weaker OHL will be successful at the next level. He’s got plenty of offensive tools to work out as a heavy hitting, forecheck focused power forward though!

Is Adam Valentini being underrated in the 2026 NHL Draft? 🤔 Despite strong skating ability, high effort level, and offensive production, some rankings have him surprisingly low. Is he a potential steal in this draft class? Meanwhile, Tommy Bleyl is quickly becoming one of the fastest-rising defensemen in the 2026 class. With strong puck movement, power-play ability, and impressive production in the QMJHL, how high could his draft stock climb? In this video we break down: • Adam Valentini’s strengths, concerns, and draft projection • Tommy Bleyl’s breakout season and why scouts are taking notice • Where both players could realistically land in the 2026 NHL Draft @ScoutRocco @puckbunker Watch the full scouting breakdown here ⬇️ youtu.be/hw12zTwqAaU #NHLDraft #2026NHLDraft #NHLProspects #HockeyTwitter #HockeyProspects #NHL #Hockey #DraftTalk #ProspectWatch #FutureNHL #HockeyScouting #QMJHL #NCAA #DraftSeason #SportsYouTube #AdamValentini #TommyBleyl #MonctonWildcats #DefendTheDen #MichiganHockey #GoBlue

@SammyT_51 @ProHockeyGroup Would love to hear your thoughts on Sysoyev, he didn’t impress me too much in the games I saw. Good defensive center but not very involved outside of that
