2025 NHL DRAFT Prospects Undrafted Free Agents

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

They have a few young forwards that could be really good but really only one on their NHL roster Simon Holmstrom. Cole Eiserman had a big freshman year with Boston U. Danny Nelson was very good at the WJC's. Calum Ritchie captained Canada at the WJC's and should be a really good player. After that it's pretty much pot luck---maybe a couple guys that could be bottom 6'ers which is pretty much Vermeyev's upside.

Yes there are a few players who are very promising who have not yet signed contracts. But the Islanders AHL team, is not only the worst team in the AHL, the team only has 33 points and is 26 points behind the Wolf Pack, the team Bridgeport trails. The team is dreadful with little talent. Any free agent coming in will have an opportunity for major minutes as soon as the players shows up.

Not a lot of production until this year. Was it his decision not to sign with Carolina? Rangers are going after bigger fish -- Luke Haymes of Dartmouth.

It's Lamoriello. He use to hold his ground on upcoming free agents back in the day when the Devils were a contender.......since moving on from there he's locked up every free agent he can with long term contracts and his NHL rosters are always old. If he's smart Barzal will play his final year next year and move on to another team.

That said at least in Eiserman and Ritchie's cases I think both of them have a shot at making the NHL without playing in Bridgeport for very long or at all. Both could potentially be first line players for them within a couple years. When that happens it should change the dynamic of that team at least a bit. Nelson looks more to me like a middle 6 guy.

The Rangers might have to be ready to burn a year of his ELC and maybe even give him a few NHL games. There are enticements and I wouldn't see an issue with using them if you really really want the player. As far as this year's playoffs our chances seem remote to me anyway.

I was thinking about Denver U. senior goalie Matt Davis today. He was a big reason why his team went all the way last year through the NCAA tournament which culminated in him shutting out Boston College in the NCAA championship game....BC a team that had the most lethal offense in college hockey last year and he made one huge save after another. A very good year this year too. He's undrafted too. Have to think some team is going to be after him.
