2025 NHL Draft Thread

[Castle8130]

Desnoyers is on my do not draft list. It’s probably not accurate, but Q players scare the hell out of me. It’s such an easy league to dominate, that the high end players never seem to pan out like they should.

I'm still a huge advocate for Desnoyers. He has a good frame, great two-way game, 60%+ on the faceoff dot, and has a lot more offensive upside than people give him credit for.

He leads his team in scoring by a significant gap. I don't really understand the Danault comparisons outside of being a strong two-way player. Danault has not once been close to leading his team in scoring and doesn't think the same way as Desnoyers

Our Leafs ouckbsits currently at #30.



I can see KD packaging that puck and our own 1st selection in round 2(currently #34) to move up to late teens/army 20s if there is a target Hawks brass wants who will not last to#30or latex20s if Leafs falter a bit down the home stretch.

I like Desnoyers, but I question his offensive upside compared to Misa and Martone.

Desnoyers would be insane at 6, and will likely drop like a rock over the course of the year.

I don’t know how some people can be so envious of the Sharks rebuild.

That defense is a complete disaster and Askarov looks like hot garbage. There’s no chance we can out tank them, especially if we finally bench Brodie.

So wrong about Askarov

Askarov had a .912 save % coming into this game. I find it funny you are judging him after this game, especially playing with a tire fire defense in front of him. It would be like us judging Commesso with our shit defense last year.

And I will continue to do so. He swims a lot, and I can’t stand that in a goalie. So his highs will be high but his lows will be god awful.

Askarov's good.

That defense on the otherhand...

Not interested in Desnoyers at all.

Not interested in Desnoyers at all.

What is your argument behind this?

"Desnoyers was ranked as high as No. 5 by one scout and no lower than No. 10. He’s viewed as a safe and secure pick. If you believe his offence will pop at the pro level, he’s a top five consideration."

That doesn´t sound that bad if Hawks pick around 6-8 which they likely won´t.
