Matthew Schaefer is excited to get going with Isles after first-overall selection after putting up 22 points (7G, 15A) and a plus-21 rating for the Otters

High-scoring forward Michael Misa went second overall to the San Jose Sharks, and the Chicago Blackhawks took Swedish forward Anton Frondell third at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles.

New York surprises nobody by using its first No. 1 selection since 2009 on the 17-year-old Schaefer, a 6-foot-2 blue liner who spent the past two seasons with the OHL’s Erie Otters.
