2025 NHL Entry Draft

[NotProkofievian]

Couple Big boys off to fast starts in J20.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Bobby Mac's pre season top ranking should be out this Thursday. It's usually 12 players and a few honourable mentions, so we should get an idea of the lay of the land as it is going into the season.

 

[Slew Foots]

Duh you are right, I lost my mind somewhere in France lol

We're all distracted in the summer - it's especially understandable when you're in a beautiful place like France.

But the season is about to start - so get your head back in the game sir!

Maybe, I'm now in Naples, Italy.
It's my honeymoon until December 1st. Going to Turkey next.

I'll be sober again before Christmas, then maybe mid January, wait that's my birthday.
Bah just need to be ready for the draft.

McCagg saying on Sick Podcast this draft is shaping up. Top ten are front line players. Only two of which are D-men he said. He expects it to jump to 15 or so. During the season a few will move up

Those two D are definitely Logan Hensler and Matthew Schaefer

Habs should be drafting around 15. Like get front line player. Have Calgary option could trade up. But doubt we take D. Likely need first pairing D but probably go veteran still in prime years. A lot of youth on D now, you want a mix better for development of youth

Swedish picks never work for us and he’s made of glass? Looks like I already have my first player on my Do Not Draft list.

DND list so far :

1. Anton Frondell

Knee injuries are more a gamble

The Boston College freshman centre is the near-unanimous choice for No. 1 on Bob McKenzie's annual Pre-Season Ranking for the 2025 draft.

This is the starting point. Now let's see how the season plays out for all those kids.

Frondell also having knee surgery.

This is gonna be a first round all over the place, I think.

Great for us, we're most likely picking around 10, there's usually good talent at that spot, but there might be a chance to get a special player this year, like when we got sergachev at 9

 

[Habs]

I’ll be shocked if Joshua Ravensbergen out of the PG Cougats doesn’t go top 10. Kid has franchise goalie written all over him.

I'd be shocked. Only Askarov has gone top 10 recently and his track record was a lot deeper, longer and ability better.

And even he didn't go top 10

 

[SlafySZN]

Roger McQueen vs. Lynden Lakovic in 5 minutes. First game of the season!

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I think the Habs should buy EliteProspects and HockeyDB like how the Caps bought CapFriendly so other teams can't stat watch

Each have a goal so far

Anyone else get the feeling that when all things are said and done, that somehow Henry Brzustewicz is going to climb up the standings into the late 1st / early 2nd round? There's just something about the Hunters and London that have the gift of how to develop NHL caliber dmen...

There's a decent chance he will IMO. Playing with the Knights alone will get a prospect drafted higher than he would be playing any place else, they definitely have a positive bias effect.

Why? What are his top attributes?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Brandon 1st game tonight - McQueen 3, Moose Jaw 2 middle of the 3rd.
Lakovic 1g and almost had a 2nd just now.
McQueen with an empty net goal. A 2nd empty net goal gives Brandon a 5-2 win. 4 goals for McQueen.

 

[Habs]

6’5 and nerves of steel , moves like a young Price. Kid is a beast

 

[G0bias]

Desnoyers is looking nice.
Dare i say it? is this the year i finally root for us to pick a Q player with our 1st?

 

[NotProkofievian]

I'd be shocked. Only Askarov has gone top 10 recently and his track record was a lot deeper, longer and ability better.

And he still wasn't a good pick.
