My thoughts on the New York Islanders winning the 2025 NHL Draft Lottery, their first number one pick since drafting John Tavares in that spot 16 years ago.

There's no doubt that this will be a day changing the trajectory of the Islanders franchise, with a future very uncertain as Hockey Hall of Famer Lou Lamoriello was let go from his duties as President of Hockey Ops/General Manager just weeks ago. It becomes all the more brighter as the countdown now begins for the 2025 NHL Draft in Los Angeles. And to think I was setting the stage for this on Pags' Perspective earlier today! You can't make this story up.
