My Top 15 #Isles Prospect Rankings - May 2026

1. Victor Eklund

Eklund is my #1 Islanders prospect, and for good reason.

Some players on this list have individual traits that really stand out. But Eklund has the best blend of translatable hockey habits in the system.

What makes Eklund stand out is how complete his game already feels. He can attack off the rush, create through motion, and stay involved even when he’s not putting up points.

His game has energy without being reckless. He can make plays without drifting and is always crashing the net. He has enough skill to create offense, but enough detail to keep coaches trusting his game.

Eklund may not have the single most explosive trait in the pool, but he has the best chance to become a true impact forward. He looks like a player who can fit in a top-six role, help drive play, and bring more pace to a team that desperately needs it.

2. Kashawn Aitcheson

Kashawn Aitcheson is already a fan favorite without having to play a single professional game. That really says a lot about the 19 year old who plays with bite and a big personality.

He isn’t just a physical defenseman, Aitcheson brings some legitimate offense to every game.

His production has been ridiculous. Add in his physicality, competitive fire, and ability to drag opponents into uncomfortable games, and you have one of the most entertaining prospects in the system.

You never have to look for him in a game. He makes himself noticeable, whether it’s with a hit, a battle, or some post whistle chaos. He plays like someone who wants to impose himself on the game.

There is still risk. His defensive reads need to keep improving, and he’ll have to prove that his aggressive style can work without finding himself out of position. But that’s part of the package with Aitcheson. You need to take the famine with the feast because the upside is worth it.

@NYRLouie Linus Loob Trygg is an all time great prospect name
