Some interesting insight into the CHL Import Draft this year (tomorrow starting at 11am). Good read as written by Bee Leeson of the Sudbury Star:

Peterborough's approach to the CHL Import Draft is very much hands on. I'd like to know more about how MM and the Rangers approach it. Article by Mike Davies, Peterborough Examiner:

A very early draft ranking for the 2025 draft (Tankathon) has 10 D ranked to go in the 1st round. 2 from the OHL and neither are named Cameron Reid. (Schaefer. Aitcheson.)

I have never heard of this site. It appears to be a 'simulator' that updates rankings after every game, which is not how actual scouts do things (nor does it look like they have a person actually putting eyes on these players). It's just an algorithm that names and numbers are put and spit out.A very early draft ranking for the 2025 draft (Tankathon) has 10 D ranked to go in the 1st round. 2 from the OHL and neither are named Cameron Reid.

It’s a draft lottery simulator website but their rankings, I believe, come from eliteprospects.
Reid is ranked at #44 on her diet.

Not sure which one you are looking at but I don't see an official Elite Propsects ranking of the 2025 class, just a handful of user submitted (ie. anyone with a subscription) rankings but not the one with Reid at 44.
Either way, rankings a year ahead change wildly...Aaron Kiviharju was a top 5-top 10 pick this time last year, now he's a 4th round drafted player.

2025 NHL Draft Prospect Rankings | Tankathon
Prospect rankings for the top college, junior, and international players in the 2025 NHL Draft.
I thought we released Kiviharju when Mesar was sent back for his second season here.

I’d say it’s way too early to trust any list.
But there’s not a whole lot to talk about

Recent article from the Seattle times on šalé
If he surprises us and makes the big team, great. If not, then we can look at Coachella Valley as an option for him,” Francis said.
We can look at putting him [back] in junior hockey. We can even look at letting him stay another year back home in Czechia so he gets a year under his belt with family and friends in a good environment there, too.”

Good for Motew, it will be interesting to see where he ends up next in his hockey career.
Expectation is Kitchener will be making two picks tomorrow if that hasn’t been mentioned already

If they’re making two picks, that has to mean they are releasing Pobezal’s rights?
Nope, they still have his rights along with Mesar and Sale heading into the draft
He was one of my favourite players but I hate to say this but Motew is not a Ranger. He was an OA last year. Great to see him get an NHL tryout but I thought I would clarify. The article makes it sound like this years team will be missing 11 players due to camp but Motew ain't coming back no matter what.Rangers send 11 players to NHL Development Camps - Kitchener Rangers

So the Rangers will hold the rights to five imports players, post import draft?
Mesar - OA import rule.
Sale - NHL draft rule
Pobezal.
Two draft picks.
The only way I can see this happening is if one of their picks is already NHL drafted?
