2025 NHL Entry Draft

[overlords]

 

[WeThreeKings]

Habs need Lauren Kelly.

 

[dauv]

I had his brother i think either 2 or 3 in his class. I would not hate adding Eklund.

would that be an E4 or E5
hihihi

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I wonder if Mrtka can sneak his way into the top-10, he's shown more offense since coming to the WHL

6"6 RHD

Maybe later in the season. Don't see it just yet but not writing it off

Hope not i want him with that Calgary pick

i see a lot more to like with him than with Tretheway or Hensler

 

[WeThreeKings]

Yes, he's a tier above Hensler and two tiers above Tretheway atm.

If we could get Frondell/Desnoyers and Mrtka, we'd be laughing.

I'm still holding onto hope for Hensler. Not fond of Trethwey right now

That would be an insane haul, depending on how the rest of the season goes might not even have to trade up to make it happen

Defenseman
June birthday

Scouts and GMs are probably having circlejerks about this guy already.

This year Silayev

 

[WeThreeKings]

This year Silayev

Mrtka at least is nasty.

 

[SlafySZN]

My player for this year other than the very top guys is Carter Bear.

Absolute stud.

 

[HuGort]

If we slip out of top 5 or so, would you draft Mrtks inside top 10? Defense men usually go higher than expected

I second this take. He’s in tier 2 for me.

A little too rich for me, I think.

Schaefer
Martone
Hagens
Misa
Frondell
Desnoyers
Smith
Eklund
McQueen
Spence

That's 10 guys I have clearly ahead. So at pick 11 I think you certainly could but not before that.

Mrtka is basically Dmitri Simashev 2.0, but with better offense, i am sure he is top10 pick by the end of season, maybe even earlier. Never seen anybody this big being so quick on his feet like fing ever.

Question kind sir: why do you prefer Frondell to Eklund?

I posted earlier in this thread that I thought he was a player to watch and is potentially a player for the Habs to pick. Every year there are some players that are ranked back half of the first round in December/January that fly up the rankings towards draft day. Common attributes are size and right handedness. I'm thinking guys like Reinbacher, Yakemchuk on defense or Sennecke on forward. Simashev is another but he was left handed.

Yup, but if we draft 10-12th he could be our pick.

 

[SlafySZN]

I see the vision with Frondell after watching him at the World Junior A challenge.

Some clips here

 

[WeThreeKings]

Center, great pro frame, his defensive details are already strong and he had a fierce left shot one timer.

Hes a prototypical hard match up 2C who could really complement Demidov.
