NHL Entry Draft: 2025 Draft Pick Watch

[LeetchisGod]

They're not the nyr. No one is lol

The Islanders have also botched many top ten picks.

 

[Guyute]

Hey, maybe Steve McQueen drops to 12, his health issues turnout to be nothing, and we get a homegrown top6 center for 15 years

 

[will1066]

Look at the bright side, we can win next year's lottery

 

[mike14]

Or Dylan mcirlrath

or trade down to 19 and draft Kreider...

 

[markymarc1215]

This lottery system must have been designed by James Dolan. It made as much sense as his personnel decisions

 

[Kocur Dill]

Silver lining.

We drafted Staal #12 in 2005.

Recency bias, and posters who belive all 6 D should be Norris winners or they suck.

OV and Sid woulda had waaaaay more points if they didnt have to face Staal and G$ for the first half of their careers.

#12 Aint a death nail.

 

[AirGut]

I feel sick

 

[Guyute]

People like Peterka because he’s young, he actually scores and forechecks, and he isn’t slow as molasses like the rest of this team

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Silver lining.

#12 Aint a death nail.

It’s a weak draft that severely drops off in talent at 11. Those drafts were deep and we can find a player there.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Kopitar was taken at 11 right before. And is still playing at a high level today.

As long as they don't select the next Hugh Jessiman or Dylan McIlrath

I don't know who he is but his parents have great taste!

 

[80s Kid]

It's 2025. Why can't the ball bouncing machine just spit out a ball when the clock reaches zero? Instead, you got a guy calling Draw, and a guy stopping the machine manually upon hearing Draw

Yolanda Vega is warming up in the bullpen

He plays with an edge too, has size and skilled. I wouldn't mind him at 12. You mean Roger McQueen?

[Filip Chytil]

Can we hire that guy whose job was to say "Draw!" as our GM?

 

[mike14]

It’s a weak draft that severely drops off in talent at 11. Those drafts were deep and we can find a player there.

2017 was a 'weak' draft with all the talent dropping after pick 6 (and us having pick 7), but if we had pick 12 in taht draft we could have taken wither Necas or Suzuki...

You aren't getting a game breaking talent in any draft at 12 except by sheer luck, but you can pick up a very useful player

 

[TGWL]

We joked that our end of season beating on the Islanders would give them the #1 pick. ...jokes on us.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Really wish the trade had just been top 10 protected so it was out of Drury's hands.

 

[Homelander]

Give the pick to Pittsburgh

 

[I Eat Crow]

Gross.

Give Pittsburgh the pick.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He’s still keeping the pick, not sure why anyone thinks he’s not.

Someone in the top 10 drop to 12. Will Drury donthe right thing and draft him is the question.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Gross.

Give Pittsburgh the pick.

Maybe we should ask Pitt what they want us to do and try to negotiate some sort of compensation for doing what they prefer?

I don't see that as silver lining. The guy I wanted went right before that. I was so stoked cause I thought for sure we had him. f***ing LA Kings. f***ing Anze Kopitar.

 

[JimmyG89]

Send the pick out. Don't play with fire. I'd rather have the 2026 1st for whatever next season brings

 

[AirGut]

Send the pick? And what if this team actually is that much better next season? Then we just pissed away a #12 to a rival?
It's over. I'm done. Drury, just f***ing do whatever you want at this point.

He did with GP I guess. Question is whether we will ever see GP get serious playing time like on a pp1? Probably not so give up the 12th overall pick and all future first rounder picks for players over 30 years old.
