Official 2025 NHL Draft Thread

That's it for the first two rounds, unless a winger is clearly BPA, it's centers and D-men all the way down.

Flyers have 6 young wings on the big team, plus some more in the system.
They have goalies galore, though probably take one every year in 3rd to 5th rounds.

Flyers draft for need over bpa

A lot of teenage centers end up on the wing anyway. Just draft good players. The rest will sort itself out.

Wasn’t giroux a rw in juniors.

Giroux played both wings in Jr, and Gagne played C in Jr and then became an elite winger. Draft the BPA, regardless of position, should be the rule. Although it looks like we're good for RWs and Gs at the moment...

Set to wear the ‘C’ for Team CHL at the CHL USA Prospects Challenge, it’s no surprise Porter Martone’s ability to set the tone earned him the captaincy and the No. 1 spot in Craig Button’s latest draft ranking.

My comment was more you never know where a player will end up. But the high iq players are more likely to be successful or over achieve

NHL Network? No football? I'm ready to make kneejerk decisions and pretend I'm informed.

Yerp, at 7pm. Things are super wide open this year so I don't think your kneejerk reactions will even be hot takey.

Bodies dropping all over the ice.

Carter Bear was a late scratch for some reason

 

[CutOnDime97]

Have the DVR set for both games. I'll use these as an excuse to start making some rankings next week

Fold the team. Doesn't look like a great year to have this for the US.

Who are you liking on Canada?

The usual names but honestly I was trying to get my Apple Play to work for a half hour so got distracted.

This USA team doesn't belong on the same ice.

They’ve been booty all year. Missing Hagens, Hensler and Potter is really hurting them. Gotta watch some more of Lakovic though, he looks great this game.

Murtagh looks decent.

Murtagh looks decent.

I’ve bounced him around the late teens/mid 20s. He’s ok but not my type.

Murtagh seems to have some fight in him. Schaefer is very good.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Schaefer is that dude I’d love to see him in orange and black.
