2025 NHL Draft Thread

[Drumman44]

I'd be fine with Misa over Schaefer honestly.

I think both are pretty much can't miss picks.

I think Misa could easily carry his own line, but he would also be lights out with Bedard.

Misa with Nazar would be sick too

 

[Toews2Bickell]

is Misa NHL ready or does he end up back in junior?

I’m kind of just hoping for Misa. Schaefer is probably going to be better but we aren’t going to finish last and I don’t want to win the lottery for him over misa. I’d rather have lottery odds next year and misa. I might be wrong but I don’t think you get value for value in a trade of an d man for a forward unless you are lucky when you trade from a position of strength. Anyway that’s how I feel.

I’ll change my mind if we don’t win the lottery and get Matty ice.

Those Nashville teams were pretty good and always in the playoffs. Becasue they couldn't get through the Hawks or Kings who were both better in that time frame is like saying the Hawks of the 80's were not a really good team because they sooner or later ran into the Gretzky/Messier Oilers.

Times Nashville faced La in the Playoffs: 0

Times Nashville faced Chicago in the playoffs 2010, 15, 17*

So what happened the other years from 06-16 then where they were this supposed elite team constantly getting eliminated in round 1?

Looks as if that O'brien kid from the Brantford bulldogs
(Lardis and Vanacker) projects to go mid-first round in
this draft. Will not be there with the Leafs pick...

I don´t care who the pick is just wish they make home run with it. You can look back past drafts and see that picking order does not become final rank order. Just look at the 2016 draft for example.

I don´t know but I have doubts. It seems that NCAA prepares you better for pro hockey than CHL.

It doesn't matter at all for the top-end guys. Getting an extra year or two our of amateur hockey will certainly help late-bloomers though.
