D Charlie Trethewey - Detroit Little Ceasers, U15 AAA (2025 Draft)

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
He's starting to move down in my estimation.

The points people notice are not a product of elite offense. He's effective offensively. He has a chance to be PP2 in the NHL, but I don't think thats a certainty. He lacks high-end anything other than potentially decision-making. He's the guy thats been given PP1 time for the NTDP, so thats going to come with big point totals. I've seen enough to know that he's not creating a lot per game offensively.

He doesn't take over enough shifts. He's an effective hockey player without a doubt. He's not going to make many errors, but I have real questions if he has top pair potential. I think he'll be a first rounder, probably mid/late, because you have a pretty certain NHL defenseman with him, but whether thats a 3-6, I think he'll have to prove that he can elevate once the competition gets better. He doesn't elevate against juniors.

I know it’s a long shot with the college commit but with the way Saginaw is pumping out offensive dmen the last while, would love to see how Charlie would look in Lazs system.
 
6'1 190 to 6'2 196 in the NTDP preseason measurements. Going to be interesting to see which of him, Hensler, or Amico is picked first amongst the NTDP right-shots eligible for 2025.

Neutral Zone:
Charlie Trethewey projects as a potential top-five selection in the 2025 NHL Draft due to his well-rounded skill set, physical tools, and high hockey IQ. He plays a strong two-way game, leveraging his size, mobility, and advanced puck-moving abilities to excel both defensively and offensively. Trethewey has demonstrated significant maturity in his game, particularly in his defensive reads, positioning, and decision-making under pressure. His combination of physicality, puck skills, and hockey sense makes him one of the top defensemen in his draft class.

I see a lot of Fortescue when I watch this most recent video. Solid in all zones but no wow factor. His speed and agility seem to have gotten worse. Either he has an injury or his man body is just not built to play with that dynamic style we all crave.

He might make the NHL but I see a very effective D1 player that has a short lifespan in the show.

I strongly disagree. Sky high potential.

You could argue fortescue or Minnetian were better there draft year they both went i think 3-4 th round . hes solid but once hear “ puck decisions “ thats a big red flag .

Only thing going for him for the first round is extremely weak draft , especially at defense .
 
He obviously has some okay tools for the NHL, but he's a weird player in that he's very tentative and doesn't consistently apply his talent and his talent is closer to "B" level than anything too special. I could see someone gambling on him in the late first. I think it's theoretically possible you could get a 3 or 4 because there's two-way potential with no big flaw in the skillset, but he hasn't really had a good year or shown much improvement from last season and I don't know that he's so enticing that you are swinging on a potential 1D if he hits on his potential.

Not slated for BU until 2026/27. Wonder if a year in Saginaw would be a good idea before he heads to the NCAA? Lazary seems to do well with getting the most out of talented defenseman.

I mean, it would be a choice between Saginaw and a USHL team if that's the case, no?
