## Resource

Matthew Schaefer, the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, is already rewriting rookie records as a defenseman for the New York Islanders — tied with Hall of Famer Brian Leetch for most goals by a rookie blueliner, won the Calder Trophy unanimously, and landed in the elite 2A tier, putting him among the top 30 players in the league. With Peter DeBoer now running the full season, Schaefer’s breakout year is just the beginning — and he’s being compared to legends like Cale Makar.
