23. New York Islanders

Top 5 Skater Prospects: Eiserman, Odelius, Bolduc, Bednarik and Dufour

Finally after years of drafting 'safe low ceiling players' and ultimately having on the of the worst prospect pools in the NHL, the Islanders took some swings on offensive potential at the 2024 draft and have climbed out of the prospect pool basement.

The addition of Eiserman especially (players that look like him almost never miss the NHL and often turn into stars) but also Bednarik and Pulkkinen at the 2024 draft, helped catapult the Islanders 8 spots. This is tied for the highest increase in the rankings (tied with only Calgary).

They also took two euro goalie prospects at the draft as well who don't profile extraordinary yet but could certainly grow into something bigger over the coming years if everything breaks right for them in the Euro pro leagues.

@AGHamilton29 Did they happen to win 4 straight Cups and 19 consecutive playoff series? No? Then they’re not the best NHL team ever assembled.

@oldhockeycards Gretzky, Orr, and Koufax (far right).

@EthanGSN Took me several looks to figure out they’re timers.

@oldhockeycards This was the exact moment I began to dislike Billy Harris. Game 7 of 1978 quarter finals. Had the game on his stick. Lanny M scored sometime later in OT. I think this may be the first time I’ve seen the replay since that night. @ehornick

I’m listening to some of the Joni Mitchell archives and just learned that Joni wrote Circle Game as a direct response to Neil Young’s Sugar Mountain. I did not know that.

A nest of baby woodpeckers fell into our neighbor’s yard. Western Nassau County. We’ve been trying to find a rescue organization for them, but no one has any capacity. Any suggestions? The mama is still around to check on them.

[Larry @mrlbem]

@PhishPhashion EZ Pass?

@MikeVacc There’s also another book titled “The City Game”, by Matthew Goodman, which chronicles the rise and fall of the City College basketball team from 49-50. That too is a must read.
