2025 NHL Draft Thread

[GIADF]

Leafs first + 2026 first + one of our good prospects I’m thinking, if that were the route he were to take.

Was just about to reply back with the same idea. I'm not an expert on this draft class, but it looks like there might be a drop off in talent when you get to pick number 8.

I think right now it's only a given that the Sharks are worse than us. Who knows what happens there between Chicago, Columbus, Anaheim, Montreal, and Calgary.

If we get a top 3 pick of our own, I think this would be the year to pull the trigger on trying to get back into the top 10 with our 2026 pick and the pick from Toronto.

Unpopular opinion but do that and go sign Marner if he hits the market. Rantanen would be even better, but I don't think Colorado lets him walk but I think there is a decent chance Marner does walk if Toronto has another typical playoff run.

Strong college debut, probably good to keep an eye on for the Toronto or early 2nd round pick

I can easily see us getting 75 points or so (If most things go as planned) Just not sure how many Teams will be under that . We dont wanna draft past 8 , seems like a drop off . We should be picking somewhere between 5th to 10th overall .

KD tried to get aggressive by acquiring 3rd overall to get Demidov

I think he'll try again

Get another top 5 pick, in addition to the Hawk's own

Double up on elite forwards
