Prospect Info: 2025 NHL Entry Draft

[WhatTheDuck]

Let me preface by saying this thread is not born out of any sense of doom and gloom stemming from the lack of activity yesterday. We have a draft thread each and every season, so that draft nerds like myself have a thread in which to nerd out over the draft.

Pronman released his early 2025 first round ranking. Led by James Hagens and Porter Martone, a couple of very talented F prospects who have put themselves at the forefront early in the process.

A lot can change in the next 12 months, but with the 2024 NHL Draft in the books, let's turn the page to the 2025 group.

Strong group of forwards coming up. Feels like our D is the most lacking at this stage so it will be interesting to see what we end up doing.

I expect another lottery pick, is Hagens the clear cut 1st overall?

He should be the clear cut guy.

Sadly, most of the guys I am excited for are forwards.

Beyond Hagens , all these players looked real promising and potential top picks :

RHD Annborn
RHS C/RW McQueen
LHS C Ryabkin

Hensler/Martone are also good fits if we’re picking high again

He should be the clear cut guy.

Sadly, most of the guys I am excited for are forwards.

Kashawn Aitcheson - Looks like a Trouba/Bieksa type. Physically very developed already.
Carter Amico - Brandon Carlo RHD type.

Both are interesting but project to be outside the top 5 where we will be drafting so I expect another forward.

Would be pretty funny if THIS was the year we ended up winning the first overall pick. What do you even do with all of Zegras, McTavish, Gauthier, Carlsson, Sennecke, and Hagens?

Misa's stock has tailed off a bit, eh? Wasn't he right up there in contention for #1 in this class before this year?
