Matthew Schaefer a unanimous No. 1 in Bob McKenzie's Mid-season NHL Draft Ranking | TSN

"As far as I’m concerned,” one NHL head scout said, “[Matthew Schaefer] is No. 1 and he’s staying there - even if he never plays another game this season."

New Bob Mckenzie mid-season rankings dropped. Schaefer the UNANIMOUS #1 now.

1. Schaefer
2. Hagens
3. Misa
4. Martone
5. Frondell
6. Desnoyers
7. McQueen
8. Eklund
9. O'Brien
10. Smith

If we end up with one of Bear, Spence, O’Brien or Martin, we’re good.

Schmidt is really small tho

This guy is fast and elusive like Caufield and Hutson and can score goals.
Also is hockey IQ is one of the best in this year draft.
I would draft him around #22

 

[Nevins]

First two sure. O'Brien is a smaller, softer Dach and Martin doesn't do anything for me. There'll be many better options than both.

Justin Carbonneau is not bad at all. Quite big RW with a hell of a shot.

The 11-18 spots are a great place to pick in terms of value. I love it. Bear, Carbonneau, the likes… best of both worlds this season with the mix and the 2 spots in the area.

I actually forgot to name him but I agree with you. He could be a great pick.

Vaclav nestrasil it will be

 

[Hins77]

UNdersized player in the WHL like Jarvis/Benson. They put around 100 pts during their draft year. Cameron Schmidt need to be close to that if I would put a claim on him.

Sportsnet's 2025 NHL Draft Rankings: January Edition

For the first time on his list this season, Sam Cosentino has someone unseating James Hagens at No. 1. But at least four players are making a case for the top spot, while a few other players crack the top 32 for the first time.

Cosentino's lastest ranking. The top 20 is pretty much the same as Bobby Mac's, just reshuffled a little.

The one good thing so far from these lists is that Carter Bear should be available around where we pick. He would be a great consolation price. My preference is for HuGo to work some magic and trade up for Desnoyers.

 

[Boyon90]

Let's be realistic, these list are not really how things will go except for perhaps picks 1 to 4, outside that, and further more outside 10, I think ill just go take a shit and toss it at the wall and if I'm lucky ill see a name within the spatter and that will be who the habs will select

 

[Team_Spirit]

Weak year for the US?

Another name that I don't see mentioned is Blake Fiddler. I like his mobility and physicality for a guy his size. He won't be a top pairing but maybe develop into a similar player as Brandon Carlo.
