2025 NHL Entry Draft

[General Fanager]

As good as Shaeffer is or can become, I think they need a guy like Misa more. Id love to see him at centre though.....

I really dont see Laine re-signing given his injury proneness. Hes obviously going to want 7 years, and as a UFA he wont be cheap (unless hes injured again into next season).

Hughes is going to have enough big RFA contracts to worry about in the next 4 years (Hutson, Demidov, 2025 pick, Dach, Mailloux, Reinbacher, etc). Adding an expensive UFA will just cause massive cap problems long term again. Better to spend on a decent UFA WHEN they are acutal contenders.

If you think we will re-sign Laine, that Newhook is a top 6 player in a good team and that Dach is a bonafide top 6 player long term already, thank god YOU are not the GM.

Far too soon to say what they will do with Laine. If he plays well this year an next there are many options. Starting with re-signing him. If he wants too much then he is a UFA trade rental to the highest bidder.

If he is injured or doesn't play well then let him walk....

I don’t believe we can go wrong with Schaefer, Martone or Misa. I voted Schaefer but I definitely see the interest in Martone and Misa. Personally I would avoid Hagens unless it was a Caufield situation where he is free falling because of his size. Then it becomes a no brainer to use the Calgary pick for him.

Whether it’s Hagens, Schaefer, Martone or Misa, everyone of them fills a need for us. Top 6 Cs, no.1 D, big talented winger with size and grit.

I don’t think we can go wrong drafting in the top 4.

Yep, just go up and pick whoever you think is BPA and call it a day.
