Islanders stud Mathew Barzal is the best player in New York

Over the last few seasons, the New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders and New York Rangers have all taken their turns at being in the lower part of the standings. One thing that guarantees is the ability to draft a solid player. Matthew Barzal, Nico Hischier and Filip Chytil are the results of draft picks happening low, middle and high in the first round.

However, the best out of all of them is Barzal.

The Calder-trophy winner led the Islanders in points, collecting 85 in 82 games last season.
