2025 DRAFT Discussion

Pronman sure has high hopes, Cootes over Eklund.... i don't believe in such luck. But i could see Smith in there instead of Cootes. Better not get my hopes up. What a steal it would be...

Smith was flat out bad in the U18s. I think he hurt his stock.

Pronman just did his post lottery mock..Eklund to Detroit. I'd love it.

Eklund at 13 means Pronman likes him less than most. WeAre talking about NHL ready prospect

Yup. He's definitely a faller. Two weeks ago I would have bet even money he'd go top 10. Now, he's likely going to be around at #13.

Pronman has him ranked #8. He likes him. He's just going along with the trend of teams prioritizing centers and D's over smallish wingers. It's like the 3rd or 4th mock I've seen with Eklund to the Wings.

This kid could be an interesting one for round 2-3. He scored 56 goals this year in 40 games at the HS/USHL level this season.

Park was my Wings mock draft 4th round pick last year. I'd take him again.

I have friends in the USHL world that speak highly of him
He is a good 2nd or 3rd round option, especially in this class
