Prospect Info: 2025 Draft discussion

[Le Magnifique 66]

Alright so who are we drafting at 14 and who are we drafting at 15 this year?

Hopefully we don't f*** up like the bruins did in 2015

I'm hoping the Ranger's pick slides to next year too. Even if they end up picking in the late 20s next year, by all accounts that's a better draft anyway.

I think this mindset is a mistake. All of these draft picks are pure crapshoots, no matter what the experts say about the quality of the draft. I think they're better off getting a 1st earlier than waiting a year just because the draft is perceived to be "better" next year.

If you compare the weakest cap era draft of 2012 versus the strongest cap era draft of 2015, moving back from selections #14-16 into selections #20+ is not beneficial. The value in holding the New York Rangers 1st for next year is that they are terrible and it becomes a very early pick. The pick would have to stay in a similar range for the draft strength to make a difference.

I keep forgetting Potter is an ‘07. Really puts his season in a different perspective. He’ll be going to the U18s too. ASU loaded up on transfers that are graduating too so his role on the team will grow significantly. I just watched a shift-by-shift of his first NCAA game and he seemed pretty mature on the details- seemed good on faceoffs and was a regular PKer. Kind of in a weird spot on the PP though.

None of us have the power to trade the 1st rounder, so your used car salesman schtick of trying to convince us that it's better to trade back is weird.

The team's keeping the pick unless they get an absolute stud young player who can be an impact guy for this team for a decade plus. /shrug

He’s super interesting to me

I could easily see him going like top 3 in a redraft and being a dynamic goal scoring C

Could easily see him being mini Grabner as like a speedy lower line goal scorer who’s maybe not the smartest.
