We are approaching the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery in Chicago and it is a huge night for every team that still has a chance to get the No. 1 overall pick.

The New York Islanders will get their pick of the 2025 NHL draft. The Islanders jumped nine spots to claim the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft during Monday's draft lottery. The San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks both hold top-five picks for the third straight draft.

Universally the No. 1 pick is considered to be defenseman Matthew Schaefer. The 17-year-old already has NHL size at 6’2, 183 pounds — with room to add more bulk to his frame and potentially play around at around 200 pounds. He’s a smooth skating, instinctual defender with a hockey IQ way beyond his years on both ends of the ice.
