Prospect Info: 2025 draft discussion

[newfy]

I like this guy a lot. Not huge at 6-1, 200...but hits like a truck...fights a ton...seems to be a great skater...really nice shot...seems to have good offensive skill. McKenzie has him ranked #18 ovr right now too, so right in our range.

Left-handed shot, so he could pair w Seider or ASP...make Johansson your utility man/5th D...able to step in for anyone and to play w anyone in the top-4 in case of injury.

I would say he's the toughest guy in the draft, and he'd definitely does fight a tonne for a current junior guy. Basically all his fights are because he absolutely crushed someone too. It really all depends where the wings are drafting, but they're back at a point where they're not really desperate for a certain position, but I would say LHD is higher on the needs list.

A player with his style of play would fit in really nice in Detroits defence in a few years

Should we get back on the Ryabkin wagon now that he has come over to NA and is playing well in the USHL?

He's certainly my "swing for the fences" pick. If he slips, I think he'd be a good pick. Though Yzerman is a big "character" guy and this kid seems to have issues in that department.
