The New York Islanders selected Cole Eiserman, a record-setting goal-scorer from the USHL, as their 20th overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. This move, led by Islanders captain Anders Lee, is part of General Manager Lou Lamoriello's plan to strengthen the team's future. Additionally, the Islanders made several other picks: Jesse Pulkkinen, a defenseman from Liiga, at No. 54; Kamil Bednarik, a forward from the USHL, at No. 61; Dmitry Gamzin, a goaltender from the KHL, at No. 115; Macfus Gidlof, a goaltender from SWE JR, at No. 147; and Xavier Veilleux, a defenseman from the USHL, at No. 179.
