2025 NHL Draft Thread

[RedSlider]

I think Desnoyers & Frondell are my top two choices based on where we are most likely picking. Going to be strange to circle the draft lottery date on my calendar.

now picking in 2nd round, who ya`ll got?

He play here in my city
Great hockey sense and so nice person , very calm humble and mature

If they can get Zonnon in the 2nd rd or if they get another late 1st, he would be a good choice, I saw him play against Moncton and he was one of the best players on the ice.

 

[ODAAT]

we actually have picks this year and possibly a helluva pick if the first rounder is a lottery pick and glancing at who this time will be icing the remainder of the season.....might just happen

I'm getting very excited about the draft. A top10 pick, another at 45, then again at 55.

I wonder if Will Moore will be there at 45.

So since I dont know diddley about these kids but am in full tank mode now. What does say picking 5 thru 9 possibly get you?

Looking around where we'd be picking today I really like Carter Bear. Helps that his name fits the team well, but he seems like a player that competes hard and produces offensively.

After all these young forwards just got acquired i wonder if they go defense with the pick. They need centers for sure but their defensive prospects are kind of non existent. At least at forward theres a ton of lottery tickets. Maybe jackson smith kid or radim mrtka?

Also theres this huge kid who missed a bunch of time this year still projected top 7 but maybe hes slips with the lack of games played this year, roger mcqueen

I think the Bruins have always been good at identifying D in later rounds or through free agency/trades. I think the 1st needs to be used on pure offensive ability. This system needs scoring way more than anything else, and I don't think the couple prospects they brought in yesterday move the needle that much.

Thats what they did when they drafted lysell. I liked it at the time but now i just want them to not miss. I want an impact player at a position. No more projected bottom 6 forwards, no more bust top 6 projected forwards. Someone who is good that becomes good.

If they draft a forward ill be fine, i just want the best player available (besides goalie.)

You could be looking at solid picks like Frondell, Desnoyers and O'Brien, all would be great adds. Desnoyers reminds me of a young Bergeron.

Definitely not the time to get cute and pick positionally. They better spend a couple years taking the best guy on the board. All set on Sweeney overthinking things, thanks.
