Will the New York Islanders win the 2025–2026 NHL Presidents' Trophy?

“The Islanders have been a middling team in recent years, lacking the roster depth to finish with the best record in the NHL. They are extremely unlikely to win the Presidents' Trophy.”

“The Islanders have not been a top regular-season team recently, and the Presidents' Trophy typically goes to a dominant regular-season powerhouse. Competition from teams like Colorado, Florida, Edmonton, or Dallas is much stronger.”

“The Presidents' Trophy is awarded to the team with the most points in the regular season. Given the competitive nature of the NHL and the Islanders' historical performance, it's unlikely they will win it this season.”
