2025 DRAFT Discussion

Potter will be available at 13, probably has higher upside than Martin, you could even trade down for him

 

[Bob Probert Owns You]

I hate myself for thinking this year would be different. f*** this.

Bleacher Report has Frondell falling to 13. Are the odds better than 8.9% that actually happens?

Anyone know much of jack murtagh??? Been reading up on him and hes apparently a fast skater slotted later in the 1st round but hes already 6'1 200 and this what caught my eye only turns 18 in august

Hes basically a year younger than most these guys so could be more upside there... apparently he needs to work on his defensive game but yzermans drafted those guys in abundance

I'd have to check into him more but hes caught my eye

Come on Grier you said you'd be open to trading, you owe us future considerations and you scooped a first for walman

I'm really liking the tape I've seen of Bear. It sure seems like he has a lot of the qualities that Detroit values, too. I'm not sure we'd even have a shot at him if he hadn't gotten hurt.

I think we definitely WOULDN’T have a shot at him if he didnt get hurt. He wouldve likely been sniffing top 5. Im all for taking him if his injury recovery is progressing well.

Well shit. Brady Martin probably goes 5-7 after his performance this tourney. The kid was noticeable every shift.

I think Mrtka is a guy who can munch some minutes on the right side.

But, why do we think we need that?

ASP has done nothing but impress us since drafting him. I’ve always projected him to be a guy like Vatanen during his Anaheim days. Really good 2nd pair guy who makes a living on the power play.

If Mrtka had some dynamic quality other than size, sure. But from what I saw he is pretty vanilla. Moreso than I was expecting based on his production and ranking at least.

I do think he could help with the PK, but if we are drafting a guy to do that I would much prefer taking Aitcheson who plays the left side and plays with a ton more bite.
