HF Habs: 2025 NHL Draft: Part II
- Thread starter MarkovsKnee
- Start date
Lundell because he can play 2C next year for only 5 millions! Joke appart, Desnoyers for me. No real injury past and a potential gritty two-way 2C
Neutral Zone scouting report on Milton Gastrin.
Milton Gastrin projects as a versatile, defensively responsible center with middle-six NHL potential. His leadership, compete level, and ability to thrive in all situations make him a coach's dream. While he may not be an elite offensive force, his consistent effort and hockey IQ provide significant value.

Hagens won't go 1 OA.
Schaefer will go and if it's not Schaefer, Misa is in the flagpole position at 2.
Hagens will go 3 or 4 depending on who is picking there.
I would think 0 chance he goes 1st OA but I'm not a huge fan.
Yup, really lowers his draft value. I seen a few games he was bounced between wing and center. He's much better player as winger I noticed.
I think Misa has a much better chance than Hagens. I'd take him over Schaefer as well. Going to watch him pot his 60th on Friday.
I tend to agree. It's a limited market but this isn't reflected in any odds yet.
Really appreciate all your clips this year.
I think there's a better chance he drops out of top 5 than going top 3 at this point.
HuGo…toss the fellow an invite. Or spend a late pick.
This kid has been grinding from Day 1 of his junior career. Was pumped to be a ninth-round take and has worked like a son of gun chasing the dream.
Now, this year, he has been cashing in his chances. Kid deserves a shot.
Would be nice addition to The Rocket and I’d bet the farm he would work his butt off, Xhekaj style.
Note: He’s big enough.

Overage junior though. Numbers look good must be his reaction time. Because he should be a beast playing against kids. He's 21 and 6'5, 225lbs.
I know Montreal likes to take players with a long development time or at least varied development times when drafting.
They should take Zachary Morin (Saint John Sea Dogs, QMJHL) with one of their 3rd round picks. We have three 3rd rounders.
He's committed to Boston University for 2026-2027, so it looks like the plan is to play 2 years Q then NCAA. That gives us like 4-5 years to evaluate. BU is a good program, too.
Button has him ranked #35, which is too high, imo. Bobby Mac has him #76, which is early 3rd round.
Currently, we have back-to-back picks in 3rd round #79 (our own) & #80 (Vancouver).

Smaller players, crushing the BCHL, could have a longer development time as he's scheduled to go to the NCAA in 26-27. Should be good to put up points and could be a nice addition later in the draft to be used as a trade piece, or potentially plays better than expected and becomes a potential future piece for the Habs.
Could be worth the gamble in the later rounds.

He should either start NCAA next year, or play in a better league either WHL or USHL. No point going back to BCHL when you're already at 2 ppg or close to it.

Could be a nice guess in the mid/late rounds but at 5'7 I hope his skating is at the very least 8/10. Anybody can comment on his skating?
Would still rather bet on him than some guy with a 4th line ceiling obviously.
Nesbitt has now 63 points in 63 games. He’s been very good.
This Bleacher Report Mock Draft is interesting.
They have Martone going 1st overall. Buffalo taking yet another puck moving LD at #3 (Jackson Smith), Misa at #5, Carbonneau #10 & Desnoyers #13.
They have Montreal taking Carter Bear at #16, which I'm good with despite his injury, and Kashawn Aitcheson at #18, which isn't awful but not who I'd want here.

I’d hate to pass on O’Brien with this pick if he’s still there at 18.
It would give me pause, that's for sure. It's a good gamble if he somehow slips out of the top 15/20, though.
How high could Ravensbergen go?
Maybe Columbus pulls the trigger in that 10-17 range?

Yes for me. We’ve had a history of players not being able to play for us due to injuries. Don’t think I draft him in the top 15. If we pick 16 to 32 I would consider him depending on who is available as this year’s draft is weak.i do expect someone to take the risk in the top 15 so I doubt he falls to the second half of the first round.
