2025 NHL Draft Discussion

[thestonedkoala]

Can't wait for the video of you playing a full 90 minute soccer game, then giving an interview afterwards about what a sissy sport it is. It is one of the most grueling sports there is. They also play with little to no pads on, making any contact far more painful.

Have to interject here, I played soccer for a long time, I was one of the guys who treated it as a contact sport, but the only pain I ever experienced was when people would step on my feet with the spikes. It was a pretty easy going sport outside of the endurance it requires.

I played soccer and hockey both. I got harder contact in hockey, but more contact in soccer. I ran and skated as hard in both sports, the major difference is that in hockey you get to sit down to take your breaks while in soccer you get a small jog while the ball is upfield, but it comes out to mostly the same. I got a lot of bruises playing both, but got injured worse and more often playing soccer, notable since I played half as much soccer as hockey.

Soccer is more like an endurance sport where hockey is a speed sport. Talking down about soccer in favor of hockey is like saying a marathoner sucks at running because you have a sprinter in mind, and the sprinter is bigger and faster so they must be better, while ignoring the skillset difference.

Enough of that crappy sport talk. This is a hockey draft discussion!

Who are some early targets in our current pick range (25-32)? Fiddler? Martin? Mooney?

I’ll bang the drum for Troy Terry. Same age as Kaprizov. Right hand shot. Signed for 3 more years after this season.

More picks. And either another top 4 defenseman or a top 6 right winger
