2025 NHL Draft Discussion

[57special]

Because of the good handling of the draft(keeping our picks, some luck, and timely action(Wallstedt, Buium)), we are once again in a position to pick BPA. We could use a depth Dman with size- especially a RHD. Not feeling real great about what we have down in the farm. It sure is nice to have two young top 2D players/prospects in Buium and Faber already, and allows us to not reach for a D prospect. Since both Buium and Faber are vg with the puck, we don't want to go for an average sized PMD, either. More of a bruiser with size, like that Vlasic in CHI. Bogo and Middleton won't last forever, though there is still a lot of tread left on Middleton's tires.

I would also be fine with a C, or a scoring wing.

Unless the guy he mentioned starts putting up offense, I'd be surprised if that matters. 32nd out of all OHL players probably puts him in the 3rd-4th round.

*edit* Wait, I assumed you were responding to DANOZ28, maybe you weren't. In which case I will respond with: I could see it! They might need a top-6 player to contend.
