Prospect Info: 2025 NHL Entry Draft

[tomd]

Teams value players differently.

RIght...and the Ducks are the smartest guys in the room. Got it.

Martin in a nutshell. Scoring chance, finishes hit, finishes bigger hit to cause turnover, goes to net front, scores

 

[Hockey Duckie]

My NHL Draft has Martin projected 10th overall. Tankathon has him at 14th.

Jake O'Brien might be the GOAT, but that is one boring name. And because of that—and that alone—he's on my "do not draft" list.

Talking about O'Brien, I watched one scouting video on youtube where the commentator said that O'Brien's vision and passing reminded him so much of Zegras. Oh... and O'Brien shoots right.

Maybe if we give him a nickname like Jake "the snake" O'Brien? Although, it seems like every Jake seems to have that same nickname of "the snake". Hmmm... so Radim Mrtka it is!

A lot of videos I watch on Jake give a Robert Thomas comparable.

I personally wouldn’t trade our 1st unless it’s for an elite player

There’s just too much risk trading a top 10 pick even in a “weak draft”.

Yes, the cap is going to rise but it’s still a hard cap league and we’re still going to need guys on ELC’s who can help us win games 3 years from now

Pens SHOULD pass us in the standings. They're only 2 back with 2 games against the Hawks and 1 against the Bruins. Philly is 3 points back with their easiest games being Isles, Jackets, and Sabers... possible but doubtful. Buffalo has a game in hand and their easiest games are Bruins, Jackets, and Flyers and are 4 back.

8th is a realistic spot to draft, 9th and 10th are probably the next most possible.

This is why I don't think we take O'Brien

Things are getting tighter and interesting around the Ducks to close out the season. In bolded and gold highlights are weak teams or teams that have been on a downward spiral in their last 10 games.

Anaheim's final games: Edmonton*, Calgary, LA, Colorado, Minny, Winnipeg
.... * = we are 2-1-0 vs Edmonton

NYI's final games: Washington, NYR, Philly, NJ, Washington, Columbus
Pitt's final games: Chicago x2 (back to back), NJ, Boston, and Washington
Buffalo's final games: Boston, Carolina, Columbus, Florida, TB, Toronto, and Philly

Flyers are also a chance to pass us.

Its going to get tight in the stretch home but I see us dropping 1-2 spots. Hopefully we get a pick that can get one of the C in the top 8.

But the last time the Ducks drafted an O'Brien(Shane in 03) they eventually traded him in their cup winning year in 2007. So if the Ducks draft Jake O'Brien and trade him in 4 years maybe they'll win the cup in 2029 ?
