2025 NHL DRAFT Thread

[bwana63]

A part of me wants both Misa and Frondell to be there at 3, just to see the generational crash out from Musto when they pick Frondell.

that might garner 2 broken hands

and that's just Musto

Musto staring forlornly out his window at the desolate Alberta prairie, listening to The Smiths and contemplating the bleakness of human existence, is certainly a vibe.

Sounds like the beginning of an art house film.

If you’re not excited about Frondell give this video a watch. Forechecking, physical, inside all game but still being super supportive on pucks. Protecting pucks. If you want to see fancy dangles he’s not the guy for you. He’s a winning hockey player. This is what winning hockey looks like. Every time I stop listening to media scouts and actually sit and watch this kid I totally get this Misa Frondell argument that is semi-happening.

I am really starting to warm up to this guy. 35g with both wrists hurting. This guy has size, can play C or Wing, and has toughness. He also will have a letter on his chest.

I think Blackhawks are in good spot. If it´s Desnoyers, Frondell or Martone I´ll be happy about it. If Misa falls in Kyle´s lap I´m good with that also. Just hope they don´t trade the pick for Peterka etc. kind of player.

Correction:I had previously posted BobNcKenzie is releasing his Final NHL Draft 2025 Rankibgs at 11:59an this morning (Monday June 23rd)..but on X he posted it willbe out at 11:30am this Morning. ...Iso now tv broadcasting it on TSN4 in Canada at this time according to his alert onX..

Of course this does not guarantee a team will pick prospects in the order his poll of 10 different tean scouts rated thevprosoects for the draft.

Hexwill rank 80 players according to his poll of the 10 scouts plus 20 Honorable mentions.

If the Hawks draft Nestrasil at 25, we have the most mickey mouse leaks in the league. Last year the Boisvert pick got leaked along with the Levshunov pick.

Add Frondell too if he's the pick at 3.

Frank Seravall commented this morning that it's now 95% the Blackhawk's make the pick at #3.​

Good. Peterka isnt good enough defensively to move down a tier or 2 in prospects.

DK betting lines have more value than him making up random %’s.

If Friedman is picking this up this thing may actually have legs

Gonna get my hopes up, I am ready to be hurt!!

I have a feeling Sharks will grab Frondell and go hard after the younger Eklund with a trade up from #30 .

 

[Hawkaholic]

Still rather get Martone, even over Misa.

Why...? Not that I completely disagree.. It seems so up in the air with
who projects best...

I think Martones game is better fit for the Hawks, he'll go in the corners, go to the front of the net, stick up for teammates, and has the same high end skill Misa has. Misa is a better skater, although I wouldn't say it's miles better.

But I've always been a bit sour on Misa, dont think he's a big game player.
