“Islanders Sign No. 1 Draft Pick Matthew Schaefer”
The New York Islanders have officially inked defenseman Matthew Schaefer—the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft—to a three-year, entry-level contract Announced at Citi Field just before Schaefer threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Mets game, the moment was both symbolic and memorable
At just 17, Schaefer posted an impressive 22 points (7 goals, 15 assists) in 17 OHL games with the Erie Otters before a collarbone injury cut his season short during the 2025 World Junior Championship His junior career includes 39 points in 73 games and key international success—like a gold medal for Canada at the U18 World Championship and leading Canada’s team at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup
While the Islanders are clearly excited about his potential, GM Mathieu Darche emphasized that Schaefer’s NHL debut hinges entirely on his performance at training camp. If not ready, he could return to Erie, delaying the start of his contract until the 2026–27 season
He explained how well he will succeed in using diplomacy instead of Bush’s warmongering, strengthen old alliances and, all in all, spruce up US international image to a better one. He said: “living our values doesn’t make us weaker, it makes us safer and it makes us stronger.”
For me personally, 7 years later, all these is just a short summary of all the promises Mr. Obama failed to deliver to America’s doorstep. Roy Fowler
Even GOPers were approving of the path POTUS has undertaken then…at least of the rhetorics style, which he so Hollywood-esquely told it in.
Structured Analysis of the Situation
All the great plans that could have made him a truly Reforming President, were not completed and so the 44th President of US will most likely remain an “intermediate” part of American history. That is confirmed by President himself, as he now constantly compares himself (unfavorably) to truly great US leaders, like Lincoln or Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

And I have to agree with him. And the funniest thing is probably that Obama still managed to accomplish pretty big steps during his Presidency. Such as the “Affordable Care Act” (Obamacare), or achieving some kind of ease of US image overseas. Anyways, the way those great Presidents Obama mentions himself has changed the country is a great comparison.
