HF Habs: 2025 NHL Draft: Part II

Looks good on those clips.
Limatov is my favorite Russian prospect this year. Forget your Ryabkin or Prokhorov, he is my guy. I believe if he was Canadian and playing in the CHL or NCAA he would be considered in the top 15. Very high potential.

Hard to imagine Mrtka will slip in any way, if anything, I'm expecting him to be moving up into the top 8. He could very well be the second dman to be picked. There's not much to dislike with him or make you think he won't reach his ceiling.
Yeah smooth skating 6’6 RD with offensive potential don’t tend to slip in the draft. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if someone takes him Top 5.
 
I don't think McQueen makes it to 16.
I don't see it too. Not this year. Not the type of player that will slide too much. He might....a little....but let just hope we have what teams will want if we want to move up.

I love moving up....at least during the draft. It kinda of reassures me that my team knows what they are doing...lol. And he gives the player you get a sense that we traded for you. Starts on a real high note.
 
There goes my interest in the kid I guess. Spending his D+1 season in the USHL and not focusing 100% on hockey post draft are two major negatives IMO.

Good draft to have two mid-1sts. The type of draft where there’s a possibility to get a Top 5 guy in re-drafts at that spot.
The rankings seems to be a bit all over the place, so something good should fall (or not climb) mid-round.

Have you ever watched him play?
Yes. Skilled but doesn’t play inside. Isn’t aggressive. Not good at board battles despite his size. Reluctant to initiate contact. There’s no urgency to his game. I don’t want inconsistent physical play from a 6’4 player.
