Draft 2025 NHL Draft Prospects & Undrafted Free Agents

[NYRFANMANI]

we are not drafting a european player in the 1st round.

who are the usndtp or ncaa guys - that's where we scout

We can go f*** ourselves.

I guess it was like 6 years ago, before the lottery at the start of the season, I wished for a Kaako, which we got later on.

Now my dream is gone, so I'm gonna wish for a new one. Anton Frondell. Watch out.

Schaefer's got a broken collarbone. Out for several months

So seems this thread should become more prominent for my viewing in the next 1/2 year (unfortunately lol).

Anyone is able to give a quick rundown of quality of the draft and depth at specific positions in top half of the first round and in general? Much appreciated in advance!

That's not good. Once they break they become much more suseptible to future breaks. It won't effect his draft status though. He still the best d.

Hagens to NYR please…..

 

[Mac n Gs]

Add another first rounder and take Braeden Cootes. Thank me later, Drury.

I'd still take him. That's not an injury that hampers someone over the course of a hockey career.

Oh, to be clear, I would too. I would take him at 1OA. I think there's a sizeable gap and the 2 D in this class.

....Theres a sizable gap between him and the top forwards in this class.

MSG is where top picks come to die

Yeah our track record for too 10 picks is horrendous. Our success has come later in the first round or other rounds

 

[surlysailor]

If nyr pick 7-10 is Roger McQueen a legit top 10 prospect in this draft or is he just another huge dude that will top out as a bottom 6 guy? I could def see dru being intrigued by him in the 7-10 range.

McKenzie in his last list had McQueen at 6. He's a big guy who moves pretty well and has both a skill and a physical game. A couple of the fights he had last year came because he flattened opponents. He's not the greatest fighter though. My guess is he won't be a top 5 pick...fairly good chance he'll be in the top 10 though.

 

[UnSandvich]

EP's December rankings had McQueen at 5
HockeyProspect's November rankings had him at 8

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I read up on McQueen because my first thoughts were he’s ranked that high bc of size but everyone seems to really like the hockey stuff.

He’s legit got injury issues though. Pass
On that alone.

Frondell has been dealing with injuries too. Desnoyers is gonna solidify himself as the #5 behind any combo of Hagens/Schaefer/Misa/Martone. Cootes is gonna be the next to climb.

Add more picks. Make it work, Drury.
