Would not mind Pyotr Andreyanov (MHL) or Jack Ivankovic (OHL, Brampton Steelheads), need a higher end goalie prospect. Keeping my eye on Cameron Reid (LHD), Luca Romano (RW), and Tanner Lam (RW), all 3 Kitchener Rangers who are flying a bit under the radar right now. Would expect them all to climb up the board though.

Ben Kevan (RW/C) of the Des Moines Buccaneers (Arizona State commit) would be a solid 2nd round option if he's available. Will do more deep diving once the calendar year turns.

Semyon Frolov (MHL) looks like another good goalie option with the stats he's putting up

Jason Bukala releases his Top 40 sandwiched right between the CHL-USA Prospect Challenge and the upcoming World Juniors



40 is right around were Utah's 2nd round pick could land for us.

I am pretty sure they gave us Toronto's 2nd rd pick

You are correct. The Hockey News specifies it's Utah's pick, while the NHL, TSN, ESPN, and others just say a 2nd rounder, but it is Toronto's pick



This is the site I usually use to keep track of draft picks, and they have it wrong as well

I think this is the year to go after a high end goalie prospect. Ravensbergen should be the target and he should be there in the late first. I'd trade up with our two 2nds if possible. The timeline lines up, he should be NHL ready in about 4 years when Vasi (sadly) is just about done.

Pyotr Andreyanov is better

An unranked, 6'0 goalie playing in a russian junior league? It's a matter of opinion, but I disagree.

.945 SV% in the MHL. FC Hockey has him ranked #48. European Pro route >>>>>>>>>>> CHL route for goalies. We'll see if Ravensbergen goes to the NCAA under the new rules, but that's my reasoning.

Craig Button is basically Dave Meltzer for me. Old, senile and completely out of touch who presents his biases as fact.

Nicholas Sykora is from New Jersey, which makes sense considering how many years his dad Petr played for the Devils, but he lists Boca Raton as his hometown.

Found this old article from 2016 that says that Petr Sykora was living in Parkland, and founded the South Florida Hockey Academy in Coral Springs with Olli Jokinen, Tomas Vokoun, and Radek Dvorak

Chiclets U did a feature on Michigan State, including a cameo from Howard. But their captain Red Savage spoke pretty highly of Shane Vansaghi who I think is projected as a late 1st or early 2nd. He's intriguing.

Like pretty much every year, the scouts are enamored of the 2025 crop of talent available in the top 10. Actually, make that the top 15. Beyond that, though, the consensus seems to be that the class of 2025 lacks depth of talent.

One scout went so far as to say a lot of the players who will be drafted in the bottom half of the first round would in prior years be better suited to being second-round picks.

“It’s all relative of course,” the scout said, “but I’d say the second rounders this year would be third rounders in previous years where there was greater depth.”

Vansaghi is an intriguing power forward project. Could really pop off at State after Howard & Stramel are gone.
