all it takes is for one team to love Brady Martin or Eklund to have Desnoyers fall to the B`s

I think its gonna be a crazy top 6 picks in terms of who is supposed to be picked. Watch martin get nabbed at 6 or mrtka in top 5 maybe o brian at 4. I cant wait.
It certainly could happen. To my untalented evaluation, Schaefer, Misa, Hagens, and Martone are above rest and I would be surprised if they don't go in the four. Hagens could fall to Nashville at 5.
Next, I see a number of players of nearly equal status, although they have different skill set, and teams may draft based on the match. So, I expect Desnoyers, O'Brien, Frondell, and Martin to go next in some order, and then Eklund and Mrtka slightly below them. However, teams may draft on need and that may slightly change how they view the BPA.
I would be happy with any one of Desnoyers, O'Brien, Frondell, Martin, or Eklund. I really wanted Misa, but that's not happening.
How many of the above, other than Desnoyers, are playing the Memorial Cup?

When we come back in 5 years to look at where players were selected, we will understand how much of this is a crapshoot and how hard it is to predict the future

Panthers Win; Bruins Gain a First Round Pick – Almost

We often hear about conditions on trades of course but i don't think they are usually so convoluted.
Is this one as odd as it seems?

Avoid the risk of McQueen at 7 and trade up in 2nd to get Matthew Gard instead.

Jeff Kealty is their GM and he’s from here (B.U, via Newton and I’m not sure but I think his family home is still somewhere off 128 Westwood ? Maybe??)
He was a first round pick by Quebec but blew out knee or something ~ I gotta laugh I remember him he was at BU and had a great flow ~ he’s super bald now. I don’t want a bald GM or coach. I’ll ask my BU buddy former player he knows him and will get the skinny
He’s always liked Boston area guys so Hagens makes sense even though he’s a BC guy
I just looked him up and he’s GM of US men’s team in Sweden at Worlds
Kealty Named General Manager of 2025 U.S. Men's National Team
U.S. to play in 2025 IIHF Men's Worlds, May 9-25, in Denmark and Sweden

My 5 weeks away draft top 7
1. Islanders- Schaefer
2. Sharks - Misa
3. Chicago - Desnoyers
4. Utah -Martone
5. Nashville - Hagens
6. Philadelphia- O’Brien
7. Bruins - Frondell/Eklund
Eklund continues to outplay him and show higher hockey sense but Fribdell a C with size and skills ~ he doesn’t yet show the 6th sense that leads to big production. We will see I can be talked into him by people I respect and know more about him
Right now I take Eklund ~ his size & position down play his draft spot
But in the end you need 4 high end skilled wingers and the Bruins only have Pastrnak and possibly Geekie
Eklund adds the third guy and gives you a potential dynamic 1-2 RW punch
He’s got
Speed
Feistiness
Playmaking ability
Scorer
He is compared to Bratt & his brother

Interesting you think Philly would take O’Brien over Frondell
Could work out massively for the B’s

O’Brien looks like a superior playmaker and can score
Philly fab 4 wingers I see
Mitchkov
Konecny
Foerster
Tippett
They drafted Jett last year round 1 a C
To me they could go Flyers guy like Martin but a guy like O’Brien who compliments those wingers
Ideally they get Desnoyers or Hagens but they gone
The draft lottery F’d up everything
SJ Schaefer
Chic - Misa
Nash - Hagens
Philly - Desnoyers
Boston- Martone

Eklund would be a good pick too, but something tells me Frondell with his rocket of a shot and in an environment where he has nhl guys and nhl trainers, his skating will take a leap and he’ll get better at using his stick work around his shot to also dish to nhl talent
If Eklund has the pedigree to grow into a bowling ball though he’s also a great pick
I’m looking forward to it either way, definitely would have preferred to somehow stay at 4 and grab deysnoyers or Martone but I won’t cry over slid draft picks

I would be excited for Frondell (in full disclosure I probably was throwing shit when they drafted some guy named Patrice Bergeron-Cleary) but Eklund just seems like a near sure thing at a position Fabian Lysell is listed as RW2
Eklund brother went 7 and is going be a point per game guy with SJ ~ I’ve read Viktor is better
They have a zillion centers and Lindholm is a top 6 easy and Zacha is solid 2C or super 3C
They got Mitts, Poitras, Minton, Letourneau, Locmelis etc…..
If they are sold on Frondell take him I just see Eklund continuing to outplay him on game video

it's not a bad idea, I think there's a concern Frondell could be another Laine, where he peaks too early and peters out
He does have more points than Nylander and Pasta in the same league, but one could also argue he's peaking too early and has question marks in his game where as Bruins really need guys that can wheel and hunt pucks and create plays. Those are the guys you win cups with
