2025 NHL Draft Thread

[MHO]

Are you referring to the 2026 draft or 2025 draft? 2025 the Blackhawks have 2 1sts, 2 2nds and 2 4ths
2026 the Hawks have a 1st and 3 2nds

For some reason, I thought they had 3 in 2025. But I'll bet they will before the season is over.

Hawks are now only 3rd worst in Points Percentage, and a Buffalo loss in regulation against the Leafs tomorrow would bump us up to 4th worst.

Time to start dreaming of Frondell, McQueen, Eklund.

Desnoyers?

Desnoyers?

Yeah, him too.

Desnoyers?

I would take him over any of those guys he mentioned. Love his game.

It would be Eklund/Desnoyers at 5/6 for me.

Fwiw I don’t think the hawks end up picking 5/6. This roster is still bad.

Denoyers is #10 on elite prospects .com...Playmaker/connector at C ,high octane,good size (once he filksvoutv6'2frame) 2 way hame...

But the hidden GaeM with hom is gaceoffs ...I could not find a qmjhl faceoff win % stat for hom...bit looking at game by game stats hexapoearscto be always getting hogh 60's and slnetones 70%+ on draws.. Maybe tge best prospect in the drFt combining scoribg 2 way play and faceoff dominance.

If Hawks do not get the #2or#2draft slots after lotto maybe they tradecdown a couple of spots and take this kid?

Then using an extra first for moving down a bit we combine tgat pick with ourKeafs pick and move up back into the mid teens to get a kid our vaunted scouting dept.t. Aided by our q2 staff anLytics team has identified as a target they realky want.

But shhhsh...do notvtekl anyone about the Denyoyers faceoff prowess....a very very valuable ability Hawks desperately need butcwith at leastc2C scoribg and defebsivecabulities to boot.And that highvoctate motor..
Reeks of very good pro material ..

I still think you cannot pass on Schaefer or Misa of course...but of we do notcsekectvtop two,I woukd consider dropping down a few spots and grabbing Denyoyers +a pick we coukd combine to movevup from that Leafs pick we own.
