About this episode
It's a Quick Fix featuring Joe Buono (@IslesFix), joined by senior prospects writer for The Athletic , Corey Pronman (@coreypronman), to break down the top prospects in the 2025 NHL Draft Class and what the Islanders should do with the No. 1 overall pick. Corey explains why James Hagens dropped from being his top prospect last year after his freshman year at Boston College. Is there any argument for the Islanders to take him with the first pick? Plus, how did Mathew Schaefer rise to the consensus top overall pick after only 17 OHL games this season, and did Michael Misa’s massive goal-scoring season make him the top forward in the class? We also spend time on Cole Eiserman , Cal Ritchie , and other Islanders prospects that have the Islanders prospect rankings rising for the first time in years.
