2025 NHL Draft Thread

Canada is just dummying the Americans.

Americans look like they're being coached by Luke Richardson

Is he fired yet?

Nope

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Lots of overpassing. Misa and Martone look good together. Schaefer looks uncomfortable so far.

 

[Kevin Musto]

No overt standouts in the 1st, but I liked Martone. Big player, good puck protection, makes smart passes.

Murtagh felt like the only American who was able to create anything on his own. I'll keep an eye on him.

 

[WarriorofTime]

I’m a Porter Martone guy, maybe it’s wishful thinking because of how well he’d fit from a need perspective but I get the rose colored glasses every time I watch him and would love to have him on the Hawks.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Much better from Schaefer

 

[Kevin Musto]

Funny bounce there but overall a good shift from Martin

Aggresive forechecking

I could see the Hawks have a lot of interest in Lakovic with Toronto’s pick. He's a menace out there, plays the game the way Davidson likes.

An absolute beauty from Schaeffer

Holy f*** Schaefer

I see the vision, y'all

I’d be surprised if Lakovic is on the board when they make the Toronto pick

Could try a trade up too, we have picks to spare and as I’ve said, I’m not impressed with the depth of this draft.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Martone is fantastic

Certainly a possibility. They haven’t been shy about using the arsenal of picks to get up the board (Vanacker, tried with Moore and got him anyway).

That’s a big package you’d be looking at to get high enough for Lakovic. Especially since the Toronto pick figures to be a bit later than the ones we’ve gotten from Tampa

 

[TLEH]

I really like Schaefer and Misa. I think Schaefer is the best player in the draft at this point.

 

[Hawkaholic]

I didn't care for what I saw from Misa when I watched him a lot last year. I'll have to watch him closely again this year, but I think I'd prefer Schaefer with our pick if I had the choice as of right now.

I haven't seen much of Hagens or Martone yet, but I should probably start watching them the way our season is going.

Misa's been playing a much more complete game this year.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I’d be happy with any of these three Canadians this year.

Such as?

Just some bum on the broadcast saying he wasn't adjusting to the NHL

 

[Mrfenn92]

Really won’t mind anyone but my guy is martone personally

 

[MTU34]

Rocket from Murtagh. I like him quite a bit
