Craig Button Mock Draft 2025

[Seb]

After living through louis Leblanc and Nathan Beaulieu..... it's valid hahaha jk

FYI Nathan Beaulieu is not french canadian but his name definitely makes it confusing.

I like desonoyers better as a top 5 pick and frondell better than o'brien as well I see O'Brien as more of a 7-11 prospect than a top five

Whoever gets o brian wins the draft kids better then desnoyers frondell and haggens.

Unless he’s drafted in the late 1st, hard pass on that.

Wait for real? lmao

The idea Duthie threw out about the Islanders possibly picking Hagens is interesting.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Doubt Flyers draft Martin now that I’ve heard Overhardt is his agent. Overhardt also represents former Flyers like Cutter Gauthier, Ryan Johansen, Joel Farabee, and passed over prospect Buium.

Knowing the flyers FO and scouting ineptitude you could certainly be right. A player who can’t think the game or process it to play with Michkov, what could go wrong?

In fairness, the only player in this draft that could probably play with Michkov is Hagens and the lottery balls most likely killed that possibility for you. Potentially O'Brien as well but he doesn't have NHL level pace in his game right now and maybe never will. If you want to find that player today trading for Zegras is probably your best bet.

Regarding Martin, I'm surprised your fanbase is so down on him. He has more skill than you're giving him credit for and is a game changer with his physicality. Come playoff time, every team will wish they had drafted him. If he is available at 6OA, take him and run. Future captain and fan favorite.

Flyers should just take the leftover of Schaefer, Misa, Hagens, Martone, Frondell, and Desnoyers. After seeing that Kurt Overhardt is Martin’s agent, I’m confident he’s not an option at 6. Overhardt is Gauthier’s and Johansen’s agent, two players they’ve had drama with recently. Then they skipped on Buium, another Overhardt client. Then they traded Farabee, yet another Overhardt client. The Flyers and Overhardt seem to have a sour relationship

We hate him. He doesn't even look like a top 10 pick.

He doesn't play smart. Won't play smart off a genius IQ play in Michkov. He's skating is mediocre. He makes dumb decisions.

I'd take him in the teens without a doubt. Absolutely not at 6. I would much prefer Obrien, but even then I still want the Hagens/desnoyers MAYBE Frundell over him.

If i’m the Islanders i might trade down a bit and try to get another high end pick either this year or next year . trade down 4th get hagens and get another high end pick .
