It's time to update my draft board for the 2025 NHL draft now that we're past the halfway point of the OHL season. Back in early November ( ...

Read this and it’s hard not to see Brady Martin being very high on the Wings draft list.

This is looking like a poor draft after 15, abd that the 2nd round is closer to an average draft’s 3rd round.

Hearing that guys going in the top 5 projecting as 2nd liners does not give me much confidence.

I remember the scouts quotes on Nolan Patrick when he was ranked #1 and how he was a 2nd liner and it was an indictment on the draft class.

Then you had Makar, Heiskanen, and Petterson become stars. Then some good players on the 10-20 range as well.

Why do we put any stock into this?

Yzerman been drafting more overages lately and this draft expect even more of them get drafted by Wings.
Start scout some 19-21 year olds

This is a good speculation topic. What good overagers are out there? I went through my mock draft and checked whom went undrafted.

- Aidan Park, my 4th round pick from last summer. Doing well in USHL, 2nd most points in the league and heading to University of Michigan next season. I'd pick him again this summer, fits in "Draperplan" very well.

- Daniel Shlaine, didn't make my final list but he was in the discussions. 10th in USHL scoring and Minnesota-Duluth is his next address.

- Carson Pilgrim, my 6th round pick from last summer. A bit behind of Mazur's pace but Mazur already had one season played in USHL before he was picked. Heading to North Dakota.

- Lee Parks, double overager like Becher. Parks was nearly my first 7th round pick last summer but i took Shahan instead. Seems like a decent start in UMass-Lowell.

- Kaden Shahan, my 7th round pick from last summer. 6 goals and 6th best goal scorer in the team but also worst +/-. Plays for Univ. of Connecticut.

- Hugo Lejon, i took James Reeder in the 5th round over Lejon. And im actually surprised he wasn't picked, what's wrong with him? High scoring player in the junior leagues and currently 7 goals in 11 games in Allsvenskan.

If we pick in the 18+ range how about the Chinese big kid ??? I dont know much about him and I'll have to look into it more but I seen him as a late 1st rounder possibility

Turns 18 only in the summer and says hes going to boston university with likely hutson,eiserman there

Its suppose to not be a deep draft so I wouldnt be against it unless someone intriguing drops when our turn comes

I mentioned him earlier in the thread. He screams red wings pick, depending where theyre picking
