2025 NHL DRAFT Thread

[Kevin Musto]

Where is ur list

first or second week of June is usually when it goes up

I still have some defensemen I need to catch up on

 

[u2wojo]

Blackhawks land #1 and San Jose say falls to #3 what would you accept for pick swap? #3 and Eklund or Musty? #3, pick swap in 2026 option? like what would they have that they would give up to make it worthwhile knowing we also have no shot then to get 2026 #1ova because we moved up

To give up BOTH Schaefer AND Misa, it would have to be #3OA, Musty, a right to swap '26 1st (giving us a couple shots at McKenna) the Edmonton '26 1st for #1OA and '26 Toronto 2nd. In other words an NFL draft style trade that is not all that likely.

I like Chernyshov more than Musty. I think your deal is way too rich. SJ isn't giving up a clear best shot at McKenna (they suck) plus all that other stuff. They could be trading pick #1 for pick #4-10. That would be a disaster.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Dream:

Misa in 2025
McKenna in 2026

Cup in 2028

 

[Darkstar]

I posted last summer that I thought Misa would be the player KD would most covet and I still think that. I would like to move up into the 15-20 range and get Malcom Spence.

 

[eklund2chicago]

I couldn't tell you why Frondell got ahead of him, but Misa and Martone simply had better seasons.

For Misa he elevated even further in the second half.

I think Martone's production dipped slightly in the second half, but he still capped things off with a great showing in the playoffs.

All of that while Hagens stayed the same and didn't improve in any facet.

I understand you have Martone above Frondell but Martone did in no way have a better season than Anton Frondell.

 

[TLEH]

They had similar seasons imo.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I think Hagens is being slept on a bit. I've got him at 4.

Jeff Skinner

yeah that's about the right spot for him

but I find it interesting that his name has been omitted from the two times Powers has written about who the Hawks are watching

they seem to not like him

Who I like and who I think the Hawks take are two different things.

Jeff Skinner

Odd comp to me. Hagens is a way better playmaker and not the goal scorer Skinner was.

Yeah thats true. Just more soft, undersized wingers. I don't like Hagens. People like the Cooley comp but Cooley has a small amount of prick to him. Hagens has zero. He makes business decisions.

 

[MTU34]

Hagens is way too involved over 200 feet for Skinner to be a good comp imo. I see Robert Thomas with a less projectable frame.

I get not liking the fit for us though

I was being a bit facetious. I just don’t like Hagens.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

No chance Hawks are taking another small forward anyways

 

[Muffinalt]

Schaefer
Misa
Eklund
Martone
Hagens
McQueen
Desnoyers
Smith
Frondell
O'Brian

Is my top 10 right now.

As much as I love Eklund, staying in the top 2 tonight would make things so much easier.

 

[Kevin Musto]

That's a funny way to describe his game, but I agree.

Cooley experimented a lot. Which more often than not was to his detriment, but it allowed him to grow into the player he is today.

Hagens doesn't experiment or try anything new. I would bet that in practice he only works on the things he's already good at.

 

[MTU34]

I was being a bit facetious. I just don’t like Hagens.

I still do but I have a feeling you won’t need to worry about him being an option. He’s the one guy that hasn’t been mentioned by anyone as being on their radar.

Martone to Penn State looking very likely after Luke Misa (his linemate) committed this morning. Saw a tweet that said theres rumors of Penn State putting ~$250K on the table for him

 

[Putt Pirate]

I am with you here. But lose you in that I prefer Frondell over Martone.

Ha it means he's soft Musto.

Never thought I’d see a quarter million in NCAA hockey for one season .

 

[Kevin Musto]

Ha it means he's soft Musto.

is the insinuation that he protects his assets?

Islanders win the lottery for#1
