So much of Islanders' future hinges on Mathieu Darche nailing No. 1 pick
LOS ANGELES — Aside from June 25, 2021, when the Islanders lost Game 7 of the NHL semifinals to the Lightning, it's hard to come up with a bigger date for the franchise in recent memory than June 27, 2025. The 1-0 loss to Tampa Bay was the Islanders falling short in their best chance to win the Stanley Cup since the 1980s, and set in motion the four-year series of events that led to this offseason of incredible consequence, with Lou Lamoriello losing his job, the Islanders winning the lottery for the first time since 2009 and Mathieu Darche being installed as general manager. Advertisement Whatever follows will be traced back to the decisions the Islanders make Friday and perhaps in the few days that follow. That's not just surrounding the No. 1 pick, which is widely projected to be Erie defenseman Matthew Schaefer. It's about whether the Islanders trade back into the first round to draft James Hagens as well, whether they re-sign or trade Noah Dobson and any other decisions Darche makes that shape his first roster as general manager. In the main, however, it is the No. 1 pick that will hold deep and lasting consequences for the organization far beyond anything else Darche may or may not do over the next few days.

NHL Trade Rumors: Blues Interested In Sabres Star
After taking a nice step forward this season, the St. Louis Blues should be active this off-season. One area on their roster that could use a boost is their defensive group, and they have been connected to New York Islanders blueliner Noah Dobson because of it. However, based on a new report, Dobson is not the only notable defenseman who is rumored to be on the Blues' radar. Advertisement During the latest episode of TSN Insider Trading, NHL insider Darren Dreger reported that the Blues are one of the teams interested in Buffalo Sabres defenseman Bowen Byram. "I'm looking at LA, Vegas, St. Louis, Vancouver, Colorado, maybe longshot, the Toronto Maple Leafs as teams with interest in Bo Byram," Dreger said. Hearing that the Blues are among the teams are interested in Byram is not particularly surprising. The 24-year-old would be a significant addition to the Blues' roster, as he is a proven top-four defenseman who is solid defensively and chips in offensively. In addition, he can play the right side as a left-shot defenseman, which adds to his appeal. Advertisement When looking at the Blues' current roster, Byram could be a strong fit on their top pairing with Colton Parayko if acquired. However, he also could be an option for their second pairing on the right side, with Philip Broberg as his defensive partner. He is also capable of being used on the power play and penalty kill because of his two-way play, so he could help the Blues' in these areas, too. In 82 games this season with the Sabres, Byram recorded seven goals and set new career highs with 31 assists, 38 points, and a plus-11 rating. With numbers like these, Byram would be a very good pickup for a Blues club looking to get closer to being true contenders, especially when noting that he still may not have hit his ceiling yet. Let's see if their interest leads to them landing him from here.
