2025 NHL DRAFT Thread

[Kegs]

True, I’ve always felt draft the BPA. I look at the 2018 draft, Owen Power was the consensus #1 pick. He’s good but is he better than everyone picked after him?

1. Power
2. Beniers
3. McTavish
4. L. Hughes
5. Johnston
6. Edvinsson
7. Eklund
8. Clarke
9. Guenther
10. Boucher

Is Schaefer considered generational? If not I’d go Misa or Martone

Call me crazy but I think this is the 2021 draft.

double crazy because I really like Guenther.

Typo! Yes 2021. And I’m not sure I’d trade Lohrei for Power right now. Although Schaefer allows you to consider moving Hampus (injury prone)

Boston got 1st overall on my 4th spin. 9th and 10th on the first 3.

I got the Bruins the 1st pick on my second try and stopped. My work here is done.

Move down, take Cootes

U guys are using up all the wins :p save some for the actual draft lottery.

If I won the draft I’d probably take Michael Misa.

jake o'brien is an interesting one. pretty young for this draft. very high IQ center that
makes plays. mom and dad both played at a high level. he's a rink rat and has 3 zone
proficiency. has a lot of room to grow, kind of slight right now. probably needs to pick
up another step (like bergeron did when he was drafted).

i'd love to hear @DominicT feedback on him - assume he's seen him a ton.

Do you have O"Brien ahead of Brady Martin, if so how wide is the gap between them?

First sim in several weeks using Tankathon's fun Mock Draft simulator.

As the kids might say, "Stop the count!"

I got 1st overall on my first try, deleted my browser history, and will never try again. It is set in stone.

Yes. As for the gap; I am one of the few that prefers to wait until after the playoffs. I think that has some weight.
