@stefen_rosner Do you think deboer tries Heineman-Barzal-Holmstrom next year? Just a thought, not sure how realistic it is

#Isles right flank on PP1 next season if he’s going to unload like this at a consistent rate.

#Isles Matthew Schaefer became the first unanimous recipient of the Calder since Teemu Selanne accomplished that feat with the Winnipeg Jets back in 1993.

MATTHEW SCHAEFER IS THE 2026 CALDER MEMORIAL TROPHY WINNER. Read more: bit.ly/4u5kN75

What a year, huh?

@stefen_rosner Hard agree, Danny is good but Bednarik is under valued in the isles system. Talked about this the other day, the stat sheet doesn’t back his value/potential. Watching him play live a few times you really see why they took him in the second round.

#Isles Danny Nelson slots in on fourth line. To me, that’s where he’ll be at the NHL level and that’s not a knock at all. I think he’s going to be an extremely effective fourth line C. I look at Bednarik as more the 3C of the future. Great experience for Danny playing in this.

@IslesCave One of the highest offensive ceilings in the draft, they should definitely take him at 13

Wyatt Cullen is really growing on me. #Isles

@Buccigross Who do you think is next inline for the job?

@Braylon_Breeze And yes about all networks!

@Braylon_Breeze I agree Bob and EJ I have also liked a lot this year and EJ has improved a ton confidence wise, might be me being bias as an isles guy but I think Burke and Panger are up there as well. Monaco/Ferraro fantastic. The trio I like as individuals but sometimes the flow isn’t great

Draft Lottery Viewership on ESPN: 2026 — 784,000 2025 — 454,000 2024 — 453,000 2023 — 658,000 2022 — 469,000 For comparison, the final year of the Draft Lottery on NBCSN in 2021 averaged 198,000 viewers.

@FDaniels86 I think Hroneck would be good but I also think they don’t want to add another forward especially a center. Somehow some way I think Hroneck + Min first + d prospect? and that’s very dependent on if SJ sees a defender potentially available late that they like in the first round

Am i crazy for saying Hronek + Rossi is a basis for the 2nd overall pick? San Jose gets a first pair defenseman with term and a 2nd line center who's right in the age window. Canucks get Stenberg or Reid or whoever they want. Maybe Canucks throw in Minnesota's 1st?

@NUHockeyBlog Who do you think slots in next?

Seismic shift in the landscape of New England and Beanpot hockey. Wow

@Braylon_Breeze How do you rank the broadcast teams for this playoffs so far (ik the color commentators rotate but based on their main pairs)? By teams I mean purely the commentators not factoring what networks they are on.

Some people will still look you dead in the eye and say NBC Sports was better for the growth and overall health of the sport.

@19consecutive Have been talking about him today in a few other replies. Especially with BU’s injuries this season (and his own) I don’t think his offensive numbers represent his potential. Said this to someone else I think he’s a JGP with a better shot and skating.

My Top 15 #Isles Prospect Rankings - May 2026 12. Kamil Bednarik Kamil Bednarik is my #12 prospect for the Islanders. He won't get the fanfare as a top prospect, however, Bednarik possesses a strong foundation and identity. He's a sharp, two-way center that plays defensively like he is 27 rather than an a 19 year old prospect. Bednarik is another one of those players who will get underrated as he has neither an elite scoring talent nor has blazing speed. He's not one of the bigger scorers in the system and he will most likely not be a top-six offensive player. He plays an honest, detail-oriented game up the middle. Centers who are good defenders, kill penalties, compete in physical battles, support the puck and never cheat the game will get a lot of chances in the league. Bednarik had mediocre offensive numbers at Boston University, but that doesn't capture his value. He’s responsible and committed to defense and those abilities his major draw.

@DRIVE4FIVE1 @KennyKaminsky I agree, he reminds me of JGP with a better shot and skating. If he improves in the dot a little I definitely think he could fill that roll in the future as a 3C. He’s been big on the PK for BU this year.

@ZachLyons_ @KennyKaminsky Hes low for now cause he isnt pro yet i can see him being 3rd or 4th line for the isles at a point hes another TBD guy

#Isles #BornInBridgeport TAKING A POLL: Something I’ll always welcome is debate and disagreement. Everything I post, I mean, and I stand behind it. @DRIVE4FIVE1 felt my Top 15 prospects list wasn’t good and suggested I redo it. I told him I’m happy with my list, but if he shares his, I’ll post it too—and let people decide for themselves. Here is mine: 1. Victor Eklund 2. Kashawn Aitcheson 3. Cole Eiserman 4. Dmitry Gamzin 5. Isaiah George 6. Quinn Finley 7. Danny Nelson 8. Daylan Kuefler 9. Jacob Kvasnicka 10. Daniil Prokhorov 11. Xavier Veilleux 12. Matthew Maggio 13. Tomas Poletin 14. Marshall Warren 15. Kamil Bednarik (Kotai, Mitchell, Odeliush His: 1. Victor Eklund 2. Dmitry Gamzin 3. Kashawn Aitcheson 4. Danny Nelson 5. Cole Eiserman 6. Quinn Finley 7. Isaiah George 8. Danill Prokhorov 9. Jesse Pulkkinen 10. Alex Jefferies 11. Joey Larson 12. Jacob Kvasnicka 13. Marshall Warren 14. Josh Kotai 15. Xavier Veilleux (HM, Schulz, Maggio, Bednarik) Let us know your thoughts:

@ian_LGI16 @theScore Scott Wheeler has him as the number 12 prospect overall in the draft, number 2 LW (Stenberg classed as RW). My personal mock has the isles taking him. Offensive ceiling is probably one of the highest in the whole draft, just a late bloomer literally and figuratively speaking.

Who @theScore had the #isles picking 13 in their most recent mock Would you like this selection #isles fans???

@stefen_rosner @TheHockeyNews @michaelost13 Do you think it’s more likely they offer him in a package to get the number 2 pick or to get a good scoring winger if they do opt to try and trade him? My second part to that do you think the additional assets in the package would be too much?

Some clarity on #Isles Alexander Romanov's full no-trade clause @TheHockeyNews via @michaelost13: thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-i…

Alex Lyon and Devon Levi next year for Buffalo, UPL helped get them here but he lets in one to many soft ones which disrupts the flow of the team. Can get away with the soft ones during the regular season but no room for it in the playoffs. Cred: @MoneyPuckdotcom #SaberHood

ARE YOU SERIOUS KIRBY!!?!?!?!? 🤯

@stefen_rosner @TheElmonters Wyatt Cullen realistic pick at 13 and could be fantastic with Horvat after a year playing in college

Mathieu Darche has a decision to make: Add another young piece to the Islanders’ improving prospect pool or flip No. 13 for help right now? Inside the #Isles 2026 NHL Draft options @TheElmonters theelmonters.com/p/new-york-isl…
