Prospect Info: 2025 draft discussion

[Frk It]

I am not there just yet, but I agree that Suzuki is a strong example. We do have a lot of flexibility from a draft perspective. I am also guessing that whoever we take this year is as likely to be traded as he is to play for the Wings at this point. Around 15 I might start thinking about him, but not around 10. Ask me after the U18s and my answer may change. I do think this class gets pretty bland in the middle of the first round.

That's fair. Again, I just wanted to put Reschny's name out there.

I think at this early stage my preference would be Eklund if we are drafting 5-9 and Carbonneau if we are drafting 10-15.

Will be curious to see where everyone is at on Bob's mid-season list, I am guessing that is coming out soon. It usually comes out after the WJC.

Desnoyers: First center in Montreal in 2-3 years if he is drafted by the Canadiens (according to the Snake) - Dose.ca

With just a few months left until the 2025 NHL Draft, there is one player in particular who stands out in the QMJHL. I’m talking about Caleb Desnoyers, who plays for the Moncton Wildcats. At the age of 17, Desnoyers is not just good: he is one of the best players in the league, currently […]

I actually like him a lot. I have not had much of a chance to watch the players in this class, but from the little I have seen combined with what I have read/heard from others on him, I would be really excited if we had the opportunity to pick him.

I have also been following Carbonneau since his -1 season and think pretty highly of him as well.

I do not believe they are related. I was trying to find some info to share and I saw someone comp him to Brock Boeser, and I think that works pretty well.

I think that general quality of player. Stylistically I think he plays with more pace and is a much better skater. Maybe that makes him a little less cerebral than Boeser?

Ya checked hes not guys kid lol ... he looks good. McKenzie didnt have him ranked? Didnt see it on eliteprospects

Always weary of players coming from quebec juniors cause the competition isn't as good. If that can make a possible steal around 10 I'd be up for it

Gonna have to look up these 2 more

Yes, i have heard of him and disscussed a bit too. And i have seen him play, i've seen him LIVE twice at the U18 Worlds last spring. Went through my phone and found couple pics of him, number 25 in the distance


between #12 and goalie.

I didn't find him in any action shots. Unfortunately.

Like i said earlier Desnoyers sure has Red Wings written all over him but Wings would need the pick be around 6-8OA to get him. Few reports from Q that i read, left a imagine that Desnoyer could be leading scorer in the league but he is defensively so responsible that it won't happen. Very intriguing prospect, first Q prospect in years that is this intriguing.

Think he goes that high ??? Usually Quebec junior kids dont and I seen him higher on some lists. Gonna have to look into him and others more

Hopefully one of these kids with top 6 upside will be there for us
