Prospect Info: Draft 2025 - Everyone is trading up, but no one seems to be trading down edition

[T1K]

Knowing the Rangers, it'll be 6:59:59 and it'll either be Y or N.

Hopefully they forget and forfeit both picks to us (rule that I just made up)

 

[Ogelthorpe]

Whichever ORG's do that should be mired in futility for the ensuing 10 years.

I could see the Kraken do it. They got plenty of pieces upfront.

I’m not completely disagreeing. I just think that someone other than Seattle is going to have a big liking for either KA or JS.

If you want physicality and size, why would you want O'Brien? While he's tall, I'll grant you that, he seems like one of the softest players in the draft to me.. I honestly don't get the hype on O'Brien at all. He has good passing and vision, but other than that, what does he brings? Because he's not physical and not fast, so I have a really hard time seeing his game translate to the pros.

like most of the kids, he needs to fill out. can't be too physical till you get stronger.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

The rankings are never the draft order.

No, you're right. But this is McKenzie. The man who would tweet out the picks before they were actually happening a few years ago. He is more plugged in than everybody else.

I really hope there are massive surprises. That only helps us.

 

[LiffLaff]

like most of the kids, he needs to fill out. can't be too physical till you get stronger.

The thing is, he's still playing against the other kids though, and is still far less physical than most as far as I can tell. Now ofcourse he could develop a mean streak later on, but I would think you'd at least see hints of it now.

Philly is building a tik tok highlight team

I sincerely hope you are correct.

I think Hagens at #6 makes the most sense but I'm much less confident now than I was before the Zegras trade. Hagens at #6 and Martin falling to #8 definitely makes the top-10 seem pretty logical on paper.

I coach youth lacrosse- the kids call these types “edit merchants”

If the Pens end up with 11 and 12, I feel like Nesbitt is on their radar.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

It's fine I wanted Martone anyway.

 

[Jared Grayden]

If the Pens end up with 11 and 12, I feel like Nesbitt is on their radar.

I hope not. I really don't like him.

 

[Pancakes]

I bet the Rangers trade #12 and then we end up with their next year's pick.

Sully and Drury are gonna be in a hurry to win now.

Well, they have 48 hours and that’s still a possibility but time is ticking…

It's ok. They're gonna trade 12 to us as part of a package for Rust lol.

 

[Malkinstheman]

I think there's like a 95% that we're getting #12. There's alot of smoke around the Rangers offer sheeting Peterka or giving the impression they are, to force a trade

 

[Jesse]

I hope not. I really don't like him.

Certainly not at 11 or 12

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Wonder if Desnoyers somehow slips to us.

 

[The Old Master]

maybe.........................if we move up.

Honestly, what does happen if they don’t make a decision?

 

[Ryder71]

If Drury doesn't he'll very likely be fired! No question there's a huge sense of urgency there.

 

[Ryder71]

Well, they have 48 hours and that’s still a possibility but time is ticking…

It'd be funny if they traded 12th OA for Rakell and we'd have their picks for this year and next.

 

[Ryder71]

Honestly, what does happen if they don’t make a decision?

They'll make a decision. I'm sure they already know what that decision is.

 

[eXile3]

They'll make a decision. I'm sure they already know what that decision is.

Not if they’re shopping it. I don’t know why you would trade both your next 1st in their situation but it sounds like they’re listening.
