THE NEW YORK ISLANDERS WIN THE 2025 NHL DRAFT LOTTERY

It’s going up. 13. Yes. Let’s go. We did it. We rigged it for Lou. RIP Lou. First overall. Let’s go. Let’s go. I almost broke my mic. Holy [ __ ] Gary. Yes. Oh my god, I broke my chair. Let’s go. Get ready to learn Long Island’s Michael Misa. Oh my god. Holy [ __ ] Look at Kenny. Kenny is so happy. Oh my I can’t believe it. I’m shaking. I’m shaking. [Laughter] So, we’re going to get whatever GM we want cuz GM’s coming in and said, “I got first overall. I’ve got all this other stuff.” Holy crap. Yes. Taylor just asked me, “What is happening? Is everything okay?” They won the lottery. Holy [ __ ] 3.5%. Ethan says like my ass. Take that. Donald saying, “Hey, Matt Mitch, how much better does it look for GM prospects now that we have the number one pick?” I infinitely. Yeah, we’re going to get even more calls for that job right now. So, they’re out for Gavin McKenna. Nope. Oh, may maybe if they’re good. Maybe. Maybe. Oh my god. Oh my god. I can’t Matty. Maddie, let’s go. Maddie, we are so effing back, buddy. I can’t wait to clip that after the stream. Yeah, I called it. Michelle says, “Did you did?” Um, state, uh, I saw your comment earlier, state, saying that if we didn’t win, you’d blame me. Now you have to blame me for winning. Oh my god. I can’t. Oh my. San Jose and Chicago doing the full Brian Tra right there. Oh my god. Um, so Sloppy saying here, trade down to number three. Get a King’s Ransom, dude. I’m I’m team. Take your best. Take the best player on the board. Whoever Whoever’s your guy, just take him at one. Yeah, that’s what I would do. I understand. I understand where Slappy’s coming from. Yeah, I get it. Totally get it. I think I’m just taking taking the best guy overall, whoever that is. Yeah, I’m probably taking I’m probably taking Misa. So, Richard’s asking who do you pick, Misa or Hagens? I’m taking Misa. I I understand Hagens is a local kid. But my god, I’m I won’t I’ll say this. I would take Misa, but I’m not going to be upset if whatever new GM comes in and like trades down to get Hagens. That I will not get upset. I’ll be happy no matter what. To me, we win no matter what here. Even if we take Schaefer, I think is still a big win. Yeah, correct. Any any of those any of the three. I my pre personal preference would be I would go Misa Hagen’s Schaffefer, I think, in that order. But this this changes everything. This changes everything, Mitch. It It really It really does. Right. It comes back to what was it sloppy you said that or imagine I don’t know if it was just sloppy got sloppy there going you got first overall pick you got Callum Richie Co Eman now is he going to be like oh [ __ ] I can go play with the first overall pick you buy um Cole Eisermanman and then you’ve got Matthew Barzal Bo Horvat Noah Dobson Ilia Sroken like I’m honestly shaking I’m shaking right now I’m so goddamn happy I can’t believe it. Oh, Donald’s coming after you, but he chose Violence today. Yeah, they do. And good. I need one of my teams to be good. I I’m in year 15 of a playoff drought right now. I’ll take just the Islanders getting back on track. Yeah. Oh, Mike, it’s a [ __ ] miracle. It is, man. Oh my god. 3.5% chance. And they pulled it off. Oh, tattooed. There you go, Dave.

  1. I hope 🤞 we can finally get a player we can build a team with, who wants to be here. That being said I’m more nervous about getting the right GM and coach. I hated the way JT left us, but I didn’t blame him since the Islanders/Garth Snow did such a poor job building around him, with rookie coaches.

  2. About time Isles got a break. They've gotten screwed so many times in the lottery about time this happened. First number 1 pick in 16 years
