Official 2025 NHL DRAFT Thread

Logan Hensler is a good sized RHD at the University of Wisconsin who is probably going to go middle of the first round. Before this season some scouts had him going much earlier. However he’s had a mediocre year playing on a bad team. Could be a bargain.
 
Interesting to see where Nicolas Sykora goes...

I think he is one of those guys who even with the famous father might get overlooked.

Has the skill-set to be a good pro one day but numbers were suppressed by playing for Omaha to start the season. (out of position and without great minutes and with very poor linemates) And now on Sioux City he is playing behind their top line which is all 20 year olds basically.
 
Looking back at last year and what my "personal" draft would have been given where Flyers picked, and trying not to use hindsight...

#12: Buium
#51: Stiga (but would have tried hard as hell to move up for Artamonov once he got past 40, as he was in my top 12 guys)
#59: Mews
#107: Kiviharju
#148: Misa
#173: Galvas
#205: Krutov

I might be slightly wrong on 1-2... as my old PC went kaput last month and getting memory off it soon (and had my top 100 list in tiers on it from pre-draft).... but pretty sure on most of them.

also given who went undrafted I would have for sure tried to get a couple of late 7ths at the last minute to snag some of Hynninen, Ustinkov and Rimpinen... Hynninen was in my own personal top 50, and all 3 were top 100 on my list.

Just saw this dude on the main boards : Mason West - Stats, Contract, Salary & More. The Flyers' wet dream of a draft pick.

From Minnesota, huge (6'5" 210), questionnable talent relative to where he's likely to be picked, he's going to annihilate the combine, and there's a chance he doesn't even pick Hockey as his sport in college since he's also a QB prospect. Flahr is gonna fall in love. I predict one of our 2nd round picks is going to be spent on him.
