Prospect Info: 2025 Draft: We are #1….1

[Jag68Sid87]

I wonder if Mario Lemieux's back issues is a factor for this organization to pull the trigger on McQueen.

One way or the other.

Schaefer
Misa
Frondell
Desnoyers
Hagens
O’Brien
McQueen
Martone
Martin
Eklund

Bear at 11 for us

I’d prefer Mrtka in this scenario (I find it hard to believe he’ll be there).

I think McQueen going 7th was interesting.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Tbh Eklund doesn't feel like an Anaheim pick, but I think Bear at #11 is a pretty reasonable guess.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

I'm perfectly fine with Bear at 11. If both he and Eklund were to be available in that slot I'd still prefer him.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I like Bear. I actually think he’s talented. I still struggle to rate what his upside could be. I think he could be similar to Trevor Moore? Both in style and role/scoring ability.

Pronman's pro comparable for Bear is Troy Terry, who I honestly really like so I'd be really happy with that outcome.

I feel like that’s a weird comp style wise. Not sure I see it? Terry is really skilled and can dangle and it took time for him to not be a perimeter player /puck hog.

this is about what i think will happen, but I'm hoping a few teams will want a d-man. ......and we move up.

They didn’t even add commentary. Lame.

They didn’t even add commentary. Lame.

Also couldn’t wait like 4 days for the updated draft order lmao

 

[Freeptop]

They didn’t even add commentary. Lame.

If you click on the chevron at the lower right of the box for each pick, there's commentary. For example, here's the text on picking Bear for the Pens:

It's tempting to add a center or defenseman here for the Penguins, but Bear's high-end skill and tenacity will be highly appealing, especially since he's a late birthday who can be on the team potentially in a year or two to play alongside their aging star centers. — Pronman

 

[Jacob]

Any commentary should just be "X believes Y is the best player available at this pick" anyway.

So we’re probably going to end up with two 1st, three 2nd, and two 3rd rounders in June of 26?

That’s kind of exciting though seems far away.
