Prospect Info: 2025 Draft discussion

[Luigi Lemieux]

Hagens or Schaefer just got a lot more likely if we're tanking.

 

[The Old Master]

Do you want anyone with potential around Sullivan?

i stand corrected.

 

[SomeDude]

Can we start the 2027 Draft thread already?

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I'd be stoked with any player projected to go in the next 5 after Hagens except McQueen tbh.

Lol we're going to be so stocked up for a draft 2.5 years from now.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

Can we start the 2027 Draft thread already?

yes we should, Bob McKenzie's ranked players between 65 and 96!!!

The problem with Hagens is he is (apparently) playing for the "wrong" Boston team. The czar, I mean coach, is a Boston U alum. Hagens plays for BC.

BC product Kevin Hayes has been buried on the fourth line prior to his injury. Meanwhile, Boston U alum Matt Grzelcyk is a first-pairing, first-PP player for this team.

My lean RIGHT NOW is Michael Misa, followed closely by Hagens. But the WJC should be very telling.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I could see this team ending up in the 3-6 area, depending on who else they ship out throughout the season.

It'd be really hard to pass on a guy like Martone if he fell into this team's lap. I'd be extremely happy with Martone or Misa. Then whoever the consensus better pick is between Frondell and Schaefer.

Lotta season left and the WJC as well. Gonna be interesting to follow who ends up where in the rankings leading into the off-season.

 

[SEALBound]

Yeah we should have a bit clearer picture after the WJC. I doubt we get 1OV or even 2OV. At best, 3rd. At worst 6-7 which means a guy like Misa, Martone, Fondell, or McQueen should be available. Not the franchise guy but that top line piece.

 

[Jacob]

We’re getting Martone.

 

[3074326]

Imagine the main boards if the Pens get 1OA though. I'd almost be as excited for that as the pick.

Pens should draft this kid...

As a Penguins fan, never get excited about a player from a European country because you're just courting disappointment. The player will inevitably slide to the third round and we will pass over them for Grayson Krunt from Ass Horse, Manitoba.

Yeah, but they can make an exception for a kid named Gonchar.
