Islanders 2025-26 NHL Projected Roster
On Tuesday, posted Stefen Rosner's New York Islanders team reset piece. Included in that story was his projected lineup for the 2025-26 season: Islanders head coach Patrick Roy shared with us that Jonathan Drouin, who signed a two-year deal worth $4 million annually, will start alongside Bo Horvat, with Mathew Barzal going back to center. Outside of that news, the rest of the forward makeup is a bit of a question mark in terms of how players line up. Simon Holmstrom proved last season that he's ready to be a regular in the top six, but likely isn't someone who can be a top liner. That's not a knock on the 24-year-old, as it's a win for the organization if he can prove to be a consistent producer playing second-line minutes. If Anthony Duclair is healthy enough, his speed will be a need, but will he earn second-line minutes, or will Anders Lee, coming off a tremendous season, get the opportunity to keep his job as a top-sixer? The Islanders have a good problem when it comes to their wingers, especially with a few being versaitle enough to play either side. The defense is more concrete, with everyone back from last season, minus Mike Reilly. The only thing that would impact the defense woud be No. 1 overall pick Matthew Schaefer making the team, as we project to be the case. What are your thoughts on those projections?

NHL Draft: The best (but mostly the worst) draft moves by the Canucks
Article content Right-winger Brock Boeser was a 2015 pick and he finished second in Calder Trophy voting and struck for a career-high 40 goals in 2023-24. Bo Horvat became the 2013 pick and the dependable two-way centre became captain. Goalie Cory Schneider was the 2013 selection and shared the Jennings Trophy with Roberto Luongo. And Ryan Kesler was the 2003 selection who played hard and hurt and turned a 41-goal 2010-11 season into a Selke Trophy and Stanley Cup-playoffs dominance. Now, the bad news. They have also swung and missed. A lot. The Canucks have historically struggled the past two decades to draft and develop players who amass 200 NHL games, which is the measuring stick of selection success. According to NHL prospect scout Shane Malloy, statistics show how the Canucks have struggled to get a consistent leg up on the process. 'They still haven't fixed their drafting and developing,' Malloy argued Wednesday. 'Since 2006, they're one of the worst. From 2016 to 2020, the Canucks are going to get four (NHL) players and they might get six. In a 15-year period, it could be as bad as 15 players.'
