Prospect Info: 2025 NHL Entry Draft

[Hockey Duckie]

Always has been very intriguing to me, not surprising to see this late breakout. His skating is high end and just needed development time physically.

Posting because we always seem to target these guys year after year, and it's an interesting thread regardless.

At the moment, we don't have a 2nd round pick. If this left shot, OFD continues this pace, then we probably don't have any darts to take a shot at him as he could be a 2nd round talent.

He's in his third year of eligibility, so I'm thinking that may push him more into the mid rounds but it's too early to be certain. This draft doesn't seem deep so maybe he is a top 2 rounder

Have they said how elligability works with players drafted out of the CHL who go to the NCAA?

Do they still get the NCAA UFA rules?

Now that's an interesting question I hadn't considered. The entire Canadian junior hockey scene has kind of been flipped on it's head, pretty crazy times.

Mrtka had his first three WHL points (1G 2A) last night, sounds like he's been seeing the heaviest minutes on the team since day one.

No Mrtka at the WJC, Badinka is a bit of a surprising omission as well

Has he bumped up to first overall yet….

This draft kinda seems like it depends on who is drafting first

Many are ranking him first now, I have a hard time disagreeing. In that recent prospect showcase, he was on his own level in terms of standing out among his peers.
