2025 DRAFT Discussion


Next Draper pick ?

"I've seen a lot of this kid...."
More like just a Horcoff pick,

Bigger guy so it does usually come along slower, but William Horcoff has significant skating issues to this point. He was a prolific U15 scorer that slowed down once the kids caught up somewhat size wise. If they project his skating fixing he is intriguing, just doesn’t feel like he is going to be an early to mid round pick at this point.

His skating is a real issue.

Have not seen him play at all, good to know.
 
This kid looks really impressive on paper. Has been great in international tournaments. Any idea why he isn't regarded higher?

From what I've read, size and skating.
 
Bump.

Gustav Hillstrom?

Also, I think everyone should start looking at the 2025 NHL draft.
I feel like it's a big waste of time. I've been watching those picks for so long. I know more about them than actual NHL players. We are not going to be bottom 5 , so it's too early. Also we don't have idea if we have any draft picks in the first or we have couple of them.
 
I think the Wings finish closer to 8th next year. Not great lotto odds but maybe we get lucky?

So the proper way to express pessimism about the current roster is to show optimism about the draft position?

Copp doesn't suck, he's getting us better picks! Am I doing it right now?
