2025 NHL Entry Draft

[SannywithoutCompy]

You are right about Perreault.

However Hagens is already 18...a hell o a player but if Shaeffer is one of the best d of Team Canada with Dickinson at barely 17 it would be amazing.

I like Schaefer a lot but I still have a lot of faith in Hagens. I think he's just gotten bad luck in the NCAA so far when it comes to his shooting, which is kind of absurd since he's also still at over an assist per game.

What does Hagens do that Misa can't?

What does Hagens do that Misa can't?

Not a whole lot separates them tool wise, a bit more vision and creativity/playmaking acumen in favor of Hagens, that's about it. Hagens is a true center and it's still up to debate with Misa, but that's less of a factor now.

His puck control and playmaking are certainly a level above.

Misa is a better finisher.

Would Hagens drop them with Martone?

Point taken

I was honestly just asking but I'll take that as a no

 

[KevSkillz4]

I hope the Laine return will not changing about the draft position.

I wanted to make playoffs this year, but at this moment I'm really focused about having a top 5 pick to select between Schaefer, Misa, Martone, Hagens and Desnoyers.

Same here, was excited for us to be competitive this year but now I want one of these top guys, especially Schaefer. Hopefully Laine makes the games more entertaining without affecting the standings

Yess. That will be very good to add a player like Schaefer, I think one of 5 I mentionned will change the team. Misa is my favorite, but Hagens and Martone are special talent aswell. Desnoyers have unreal potential, two-way guy who will be good in all areas of the game. He is literally the guy MTL miss at this point with all his qualities of compete and complete.

Misa and Schaefer are easily my top 2 at this moment in my draft ranking, I don't know who put #1 haha!

 

[Vachon23]

All though he’s not Celebrini/Bedard, I think Hagens have become underrated here. He would become our best player if he reach his potential

He is very good. But I think Misa have something more special in him. He is a 1st overall pick talent in my eyes.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Hagens isn't the fighting type, although he's from long island, so he might have some nasty in him. Who knows !

Desnoyers in top 5??

Frondell, Spence or McQueen should be well ahead IMHO

 

[WeThreeKings]

Desnoyers has definitely leaped Spence. Then how you feel about McQueens back and Frondell's multiple injuries.

Desnoyers certainly playing his way up in that next tier.

I respect your opinion but I disagree

Hagens can control the game in a way that Misa can’t in my perspective

Misa would be a perfect center for Demidov as a more shoot first guy down the middle.

Hagens would almost assuredly need to be paired with Caufield giving Demidov to Suzuki.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Desnoyers in top 5??

Frondell, Spence or McQueen should be well ahead IMHO

Frondell have injuries issues. Really good player though. I prefer the game of Desnoyers than McQueen in general. Spence should not be in that conversation to me. More likely in 8-12 range at this point.

Yeah, Spence is Calgary pick if he's still there. He might not be in our range unless Montreal falls back in draft with an improved 2nd half performance.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

They're not ahead... in their mastery of French.

Misa would be a perfect center for Demidov as a more shoot first guy down the middle.

Hagens would almost assuredly need to be paired with Caufield giving Demidov to Suzuki.

Also had a playmaking winger, Slaf, in the equation. A shoot first center will be needed if Demidov stays on the wing.

I understand what your saying, but I wouldn’t draft a 1st overall on who fit well on the team, I want to draft the guy who will be the motor of my offence.

I can see Hagens becoming that but not sure I see Misa becoming that all though I see him becoming a very good 1st line player

I'm not saying to draft a 1st overall based on fit, just saying how either would shape our line up.

Yes I know

The top 4 all bring something we really need

Hagens = Offensive dynamic #1 C
Sheafer = #1 Dmen
Martone = nasty power forward in the top 6
Misa = Scoring Center with Size

 

[skidcells]

One of the top 5: schaeffer, misa, hagens, martone, desnoyers and alongside with who ever falls in the 10-15 range (assuming that’s where cgy pick ends up) of Carter bear, frondell, McQueen, Eklund, Spence, Hensler would be a dream

Carter bear is becoming one of my favourites. My fearless prediction is he goes top 10 when all said and done

 

[Artaud]

Misa and Carbonneau in the first round would be my dream scenario at this point.
