2025 DRAFT Thread

Brady Martin was an animal in the u18 game quarterfinal game against the Czechs. I don't think he makes it to 15 with his combination of skill and physicality. Cootes and Reschny were excellent as well.

One of Martin, Cootes, Reschny, or Kindel and we can all be happy.

Hopefully somebody drops in the first round. That's what happened in 2022, which wasn't regarded as a strong draft either.

And Lekkerimaki dropped to the Canucks at #15 after being ranked much higher for most of the season. Teams were concerned about his size, mostly.

But I guess we'll find out where the Canucks draft in a hurry, as the lottery balls drop on May 5th. Canucks have about about 99 percent odds at sticking at #15, but does this mean they actually have 'a chance' to move up?

Cootes was invisible to me and almost cost them the game in ot. The first line created everything for Canada in that game. Martin hit the post twice, Katzin missed some glorious chances and Reschny missed a breakaway. Cootes wasn't good against Finland and now the Czechs but beating up on pewee competition needs to be taken into account. 8 points against Norway and Slovakia.

I have it Martin, Reschny, Kindell, Cootes. I don't think Martin is there at 15 he might go top 10. And Kindell I think he is a winger in the NHL.

He definitely wasn't as big a factor as Martin or Reschny in this one but I definitely noticed his speed and a few heady plays in the offensive zone. He had 4 shots and was 65% on the draw. I see so many traits that translate to the pros with him - would be shocked if he becomes anything less than a second line centre.

I do agree with your order though. I think after this tournament there’s basically no chance Martin slips to 15 and Reschny is making a top 10 case as well.
