2025 NHL Draft Thread
- Thread starter clydesdale line
- Start date
Weak birth year. Doesn’t help that the top late birthday US players aren’t available (Hagens, Hensler) while the CHL ones are (Martone, Spence)
Well Canada did not have Roger McQueen or Ethan Bear for this game ..so they still doninated this USA squad..
MISA had 2A but Martone had no pints...Yet I was very impressed with Martone who pkayex Wing on the line centered by MISA..
There were 2 jaw driving pkayscin this game...1 end to end rish solo effort by Dman Mathew Schaefer who finished it at the net..Highlight reel.
Thevother did not result in a goal...Martone steals puck while checking a dman trying to exit...he then passes to himself as he dekes without the puck past the dman abd gets the pass he tipped to himself then he senses Denoyers streaking to join him as he takes puck towards the net...sends a back pass to Denoyers who was stopped on his shot by the American goalie..
I counted 3 other tines Martone stripped pucks and turned play to attack transition..
Tonight he playedxwibgerxas I said but I can see him using that stripping talent at Center and generating scoring chances off that ability...
He akso kept s kotvofvpkayscgoung longer I thebozone by getting to lose pucks on the boards and then dishing back to tean-mates..
Tonight he did notvscore goalsvor assists but he generated scoribg chances BY GETTING PUCKS from USA pkayers..
He moved puckscwell when dmen sent pucks up the boardsxto hom then he hit teanatesxadvancibg pucks into thevo-zobe..
So he was doing a lot of things very well.
However..he did not shoot much tonight..was deferring to try setting gbuo tomatoes.
He setvup Denoyers twice with good scoring chances at the netcand the same for setting up Misa twice with scoring chances.. nonebofvthese wre finished.
So I can say that Martone is going gvto transition well to the pros because his game often starts without the puck...he gets the puck and then creates off that.Maybebon another night he will shoot instead of deferring forcset-ups.
Itvisx1 thing to chase when you do not have the puck. And fail to get it back...but he gets it back and goes fro there.
The kind of player you want.....therexwax 1 shift he got a pass with his back to the boards at his own bkuekunec...lostvthebouck but then immediately stole it back...shows string hands..thevpintbis...he getscthatvpuck back then can go right into attacking.
But I want to see hom be more selfish and shoot hinself rather than trying to be set-uo guy.as he tried tonight.

So happy people got to watch Schaefer. That kid is the goods. I said Dickinson will end up being the best defenseman in the 2024 draft class. Schaefer will end up being the best PLAYER in the 2025 draft class.
Scheaffer is the best player in the class.
Any of the 3 kids from the O would make me happy. I do think Scheaffer is a sure fire number one D. Haven’t seen Hagens play.
I wanted Lev last year and would have no issue doubling down on D. Kid is a stud.

Let´s wait and see. Too early to tell. Just like someone said here there will be risers and fallers. Really curios to when McQueen comes back how he will respond.
