Official 2025 NHL DRAFT Thread

Not a striker though.

I think it might make more sense to drop a bag on an elite LW since the ST market sucks. Pretty sure he played ST at Lille too so why not try it out.

Not a finisher. I love Leao but Milan has been looking for a proper striker for years now and they don't even think enough to give him run there. Not sure he even wants to. He prefers to slow things down and take fullbacks on 1v1 which won't work in the middle. #NotaSoccerGuyTho

No one even wants to talk prospects in a draft we have the 6th overall and three 1sts.

I respect that.

Is there a website that shows the 2025 draft slots? It seems like CapWages only goes up to 2024.

This is basic, but does the job

Full 2025 NHL Draft Order

Pro Hockey Rumors has the details on which teams own which of the 224 picks in the 2025 NHL draft.

40. Philadelphia Flyers
45. Philadelphia Flyers

There should absolutely be opportunity in this draft. You really should be able to hit with 5 picks from 30-48.

Back to the Draft, WHL game is on, this Bryce Pickford looks like a pretty good Dman. Has scored a bunch of goals for MedHat.

Maybe Ireland or maybe even the US next! Lot of plates in the air. But I love Portugal. Would live here forever. They just need a permanent ice rink...

Don't be afraid to move to Vegas. Permanent Ice Rinks and 47 degrees Celsius for 3-4 months out of the year. The dream

He's not the cure to what ails you, Toe. I think Gyokeres is probably the right answer for you, but you're right - this striker market is shit outside of Ekitike.

I hope so, Capo. I'm tired of 2nd place.

Yeah, he’s milquetoast Mel Kiper. We get it. Can we get back on topic and talk about Portugal?

Sure, go watch Gyokeres and bring me back a detailed scouting report.

12th amongst Russians?

That seems about right... lmao

Joking ofc. He has something about him aside from just the size. But yeh... 12 is wild.

 

[Magua]

Did Brady Martin get 70 grade skating and IQ?

 

[Nabrules]

Pronman has Hagens at 11 lol

Tbf he was doing an exercise where his rankings were "if you only account playoffs" becuase that's an exercise nhl teams so apparently.

It wasn't his actual list - but yea still too low. He mentioned teams are worried Hagens doesn't play in the inside as much as they want and his compete isn't always consistent

 

[Nabrules]

Much watch video on O'Brien who is quickly becoming one of my preferred choices at 6.

The discourse on him within this thread on him surprised me. We all complain how we never take the purely skilled guy and always go for the two way lopsided type. O'Brien is one of the most purely skilled players in the draft, one of the best playmakers in the past couple drafts - high upside player.

I know a lot of his production came on the power play but it's still production. He's nowhere near a perfect prospect but he has high potential

He’s still outside of the tier we will be drafting at right. Maybe trade back but he seems to be a reach at 6. Someone decent should be there.

(This is nothing against you at all. I just can’t believe how hockey teams are run.)

Actually no - Pronman, Wheeler, Peters and Robinson all saying the same thing, there's a clear top 7 (right now) with Schafer, Misa, Hagens, Desnoyers, Martone, O'Brien and Frondell!

They all keep saying teams have 3-7 is different orders (assuming they mean Schaefer and Misa as 1-2)

They also saying the 2 wildcards are McQueen and Martin (lol)

 

[renberg]

Pronman has Hagens at 11 lol

If Hagens is there at six and the Flyers pass on him it will be a failure on the same magnitude as passing on Buium last year.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Martin and O’Brien are a bit like ying and yang in a bunch of ways. I wonder what the odds are that either ends of as a C in the NHL

 

[phil168810]

Wonder if we try an trade up to 7 or 8...if we could draft Martone/Desnoyers at 6 and one of O Brien/Martin would be really interesting... so much draft capital and some expendable players (York/Drysdale) could make it interesting
