NHL 2025 DRAFT - Bruins pick 7th IV

[The don godfather]

I remember the rags getting 1st overall and 2nd overall picks and fans saying they will be set for years. Look how that turned out. If there is a solid trade to make with the pick go for it.

 

[Bruin4]

Curious on where McKenzie will have Martin and McQueen on his list when it comes out later today.

Will one of them or perhaps both jump in front of one of the big 6 in Schaefer,Misa, Frondell, Desnoyers, Hagens, and Martone.

They didn’t want either of those players it’s been said.

Reading AND listening to the Athletic & Chris Peters they feel talking to scouts/teams Martin has crashed the party - O’Brien is highly regarded but the 8th guy but going in top 7 not an issue

McQueen seemed 95% out of top 7 in the 10ish area +/- 1 but they are the Bruins

very much looking forward to Bobby Mac list and article accompanying with explanations

 

[Patdud]

If Dobson didn’t want double digits on his next deal I’d do the 7 for him as part of a multi player package for sure. I don’t see the isles doing it unless hagens is there at 7.

Dobson + Pageau + for Mittlestadt + 7th OVA +?

Are the isles committed to the rebuild? Is Poitras included with others to trade for Horvat or Barzal as well?

Horvat essentially could have been had for a late first+ Debrusk+ a couple years ago so he’s not the target for trading no7 otherwise that’s just more bullshit.

I can’t believe the Jimmy Murphy “report” still has legs a week later in here lol.

 

[McBrom7]

This is gonna be a long week...

Stick and pick. And when you do, go with a consensus guy please.

Do that and I'll be happy. Can get cute on day 2.

Who is the consensus guy?

 

[JCRO]

Per EF on 32 Thoughts podcast today-

There are rumors Frondell COULD go 2nd overall to SJ.

Rumor that Hagens goes to Philly at 6 if there.

Also stock is rising on Martin (duh) and Desnoyers.

I don't think that's the big 6. Teams are down on Hagens... many don't think he's a C in the NHL and there are questions about his overall game. He'll be there at 6. Martin won't.

McQueen will absolutely drop.

Who are the NHL comps for Martin & Desnoyers?

 

[McBrom7]

Who is the consensus guy?

McQueen, Martin, O'Brien, Eklund... One of the projected top 6 that may fall.

I don't really care or have a strong preference at this point. They all offer something different and all have strengths/weaknesses in certain areas. At this point I just care that they don't go off the board and surprise everyone.

Eklund really isn’t consensus for the top 7 though. Neither is McQueen.

 

[The don godfather]

McQueen is growing on me he could be the best of the bunch kid has oodles of talent that was hidden because of serious injury.

JOB
McQueen
Martin
Eklund

If any of those guys are available at 7 that’s how I would personally rank them

You've named about ten guys you want so you should be happy Friday

 

[BruinDust]

Who are the NHL comps for Martin & Desnoyers?

I've only seen one comp for each player. These are not my opinions, only what I have read.

Martin -> Sam Bennett

Desnoyers -> Phillipe Danault

McQueen is growing on me he could be the best of the bunch kid has oodles of talent that was hidden because of serious injury.

It’s because of this I think Sweeney should be willing to package a first and someone like Poitras or Lysell to move up and take McQueen

And I like the two B’s I mentioned in that move

 

[LJReborn]

Already preparing myself for Hagens to be there at 7 and watching the Bruins pass him for size. If I think the worst, I can't be disappointed if something else happens.

I select the one player remaining when we pick at 7:
Schaefer, Frondell, Misa, Desnoyers, Martin, Hagens, Martone

If Sweeney and the org are in love with McQueen and take him then I'd be happy with a bold decision from the front office.

 

[ODAAT]

Who are the NHL comps for Martin & Desnoyers?

I see Martin as a skilled version of Jordin Tootoo with skill and Desnoyers as Trent Whitfield Ok I kid, I have seen Desnoyers play all of 5-7 games so I can`t judge, kid does play a well beyond his years mature game though

 

[McBrom7]

I would credit Sweeney for being aggressive in getting his guy, but moving up for McQueen would be a super risky move.

Packaging assets for a player that will likely be there at 7 anyway would feel a bit silly. Especially given that McQueen has substantial bust potential and the other options that should be on the board at 7 are also solid picks.

 

[McBrom7]

JOB
McQueen
Martin
Eklund

If any of those guys are available at 7 that’s how I would personally rank them

I like your list. I think I would rank them exactly the same way.

I would be very happy with JOB or McQueen. Both have great skill sets as well as size.

McQueen will be around at pick 7, no need to trade.
Hope we pass on him.
One of JOB / Eklund is fine for me, we will be very happy.
The only player I see perhaps falling is Martone, depends on what the Hawks do.
