I know I have Misa and Hensler above them, but I can understand the interest for both. A very interesting draft, yet again, and a shitload of picks for us, yet again.

Was watching some highlights and complete games of his, and hes such a f***ing stud holy f*** man. Hes basically Slaf but RHD and with even better hands. Hes a lock for top 5 and will challenge Hagens for 1st I bet

God, he would be a dream. Damn.... imagine a top 6 of Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky then Demidov-Dach-Martone. OMG.

Really surprise to see Carbonneau before Desnoyers
Agreed. Also my fearless summer hot take is that Desnoyers ends up being a top 5 pick by next summer.

McQueen is great but he hasn`t shown me first line IQ yet.
I'm quite high on Carbonneau as well but he's too high. These are the July lists, always filled with "names" for views.

I like Carbonneau too do get me wrong but I’m talking Desnoyers before him without hesitation as now
Not sure he will be a top 5 but he could finish close to the top 10

Hagens among top prospects expected to be available for 2025 NHL Draft | NHL.com

A small writeup by Morreale on a few of the top names.
NHL Draft 2025 Way Too Early Top 10 Prospect List Led By James Hagens - FloHockey
James Hagens and Anton Frondell lead the way-too-early Top 10 for the 2025 NHL Draft from FloHockey Draft Analyst Chris Peters.

Demidov is a HAB
Spence is around the 6ft2, 200 mark right now. He's a big boy too, he just looks small standing next to McQueen and MartoneThese two are freaking enormous.
I was thinking he was closer to 6'1" but that makes sense haha.

He's such a good skater that it weirdly makes him seem smaller than he is.

Alex Huang is a name i would keep an eye on for next draft.
Very talented RD.

The athletic package is great, I don't think the IQ is there to be a top producer but I think he could be a bigger Dustin Brown who was a very valuable and integral part to the Kings wins.
I don't have any worry on the D unless the development curves go away. It's more of the Canes model where no one is a true 1 but you have people who are 1s on the defensive end and on the offensive end. Our advantage will also be that we can play our 3rd pair way more than other teams, keeping our best players fresh and able to execute at their optimal level deeper into games/series'.

Oh yeah, big time natural athlete. I fully expect him to dominate the combine a la Struble next summer. Super mature kid as well, excellent academically, already focused and professional. There's a ton to like about him as a person outside of the rink. You can bet we're going to hear about him a lot as the draft draws near.

4 teams we likely outrank next year have taken a D last Friday:
CHI with Levshunov
CGY with Parekh
SJS with Dickinson
ANA with Solberg
...and the first 3 teams are far from a finished product on the back end.
I will start deluding myself some big Ds are gonna make a push for the top 8 and one of the mammoths fall to us incidentally.
Sure worked this year
Feel free to join me!

Luka Radivojevič is a great D as well. Already at the level of Cole Hutson- size and quality. He already played at WJC (he was better that Nemec or Cernak at same age) and was U18 All Star. Already 6 games in SHL, even if he is still small, he competes hard and can handle bigger players along the boards. If he can grow couple inches he will be top 10.
How's next year top players compared to this year ? Any elite/superstars like Bedard, Celibrini, Carlsson, Demidov, Fantili and Michkov ?

Oh yeah, the top of this class is exciting. Hagens is a beauty, but Martone is too. 6'4, crazy skilled.
Hagens, Martone & Frondell have the potential to be top line / franchise players. It's a deeper draft comparable to 2023 where there was a fab 4 and still a whole bunch of potential top 6 forwards after them.
A lot of centers in top 16, too. 7 of first 10 picks could be centers.
