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

[KrisLeturnover]

Considering ChatGPT has been documented as completely making things up, I'm surprised it didn't give you a fake player.

I've asked it for mock drafts 4 times in the past month. The first three times, I had to outright correct it and asked it to report the ongoing issues to the devs.

It was certain that Parekh and Dickinson were in this draft class. I told it generate a new mock without these players. Surprise, surprise Parekh and Dickinson were in the top 10.

Then it was deadset on Utah having the first overall. Wouldn't budge. Maybe ChatGPT is a Mammoth fan deep down.

I suppose this is welcome news overall. AI ain't taking over anytime soon

My final order is:
Schaeffer
Misa
Frondell
Martone
Hagens
Desnoyers
Martin
Mrtka
O'Brien
Eklund
McQueen
Smith

I really struggled at 12. I could have gone Bear, Carbonneau, or Aitchenson as well.

Someone mentioned Cerrato as a possible option for a later round pick and he sounds and looks pretty good. Kind of Rust-like in the clips I saw. PSU watchers in the prospects forum tended to agree he’s a 4th liner at worst. While that might sound safe and unspectacular you can still find some untapped upside in such players, just like Rust.

Also for whatever it’s worth I asked Grok to do a top 15 mock and it had us taking Eklund and Aitcheson. But it also thinks Martin falls to 13 which doesn’t seem likely.

Even if you think Aitch is a big reach or sucks balls the good news is we’ll be adding a lot more talent to our weak prospect pool this weekend and this draft won’t make or break us- we’re going to suck for a while. And we’re likely to have a couple 1sts next year too.

I sincerely hope you're wrong. That would be a disaster! If you could go with both Bear and Carbonneau that would have been ok. Two pretty high end wings.

My view on McQueen has really softened after the combine. While he's not my first choice, we need a center in a bad way. I'm willing to accept him.

Look at his production from last season to this season, there was no appreciable jump in his progression. That should be concerning. You wanna see a pretty decided uptick. In his case it was minimal. That's not the only variable but it is important. He's also one of the older players in the draft. No thanks!

I wonder if the Peterka trade causes a shift in either teams draft prospects going into Friday night.

The future is so f***ing lame.

I like our options but it will hurt watching the Flyers and Bruins get Hagens and Martone.

The future is so f***ing lame.

Erm, uh, more like epic!

 

[Mr. T]

I used the Twitter AI and it just kept telling me the Pens had the 14th and 88th picks in the draft

 

[DesertPenguin]

I really wish that could be true but...

JOB and EK would be a dream! I can't imagine JOB lasting that long.

It only takes a few teams reaching on defensemen. Could happen

It would take a lot of reaching for that to happen.
