Preliminary Top 50 OHL'ers for the 2025 NHL Draft
https://ohlprospects.blogspot.com/2024/11/preliminary-top-50-for-2025-nhl-draft.html 1. Michael Misa - Center - Saginaw Spirit As of writing this, Misa leads the OHL in both overall scoring and goal scoring. Simply put, he’s been the best player in the OHL this year, finally emerging as the...forums.hfboards.com
Certainly standing out with Misa 1OA in his list and Martone at 3 among OHLers. I appreciate his reasoning too.
I hope Buffalo has tape on this kid -
Some teams will likely have him as out-of-sight-out-of-mind, some very good stuff there in a big, rangy, rush defending RHD.

Carter Amico, D, USNTDP U18s (2025 NHL Draft)
Carter Amico won’t appear on any USHL forward’s “favourite defenceman to lead a rush against” list. At 6-foot-5, the right-shot blueliner covers a wide radius of defensive ice, and possesses a keen understanding of how to leverage his range and size to snuff out chances with pace and decisiveness. He’s among the premier rush defenders in the USHL this season.
While his in-motion defending is the most polished aspect of his game, he is exploring his on-puck and breakout capabilities. He’s a deft handler with an unlocked top hand and a reach that makes him unexpectedly difficult to dispossess. He likes to activate through the neutral zone in transition and on the cycle alike and has already shown flashes of puck-carrying skill and intelligence this season that weren’t apparent last year.
While the offensive production is unlikely to pop off the page this season – Amico is sitting at two assists through four games – the towering defenceman is showing his two-way ability and presenting the second-pairing NHL upside. While he won’t singlehandedly make the NTDP a difficult team to score against, you can be sure that teams will keenly attack the opposite flank when he’s on the ice.

NTDP over piano is certainly a choice!2025 NHL Draft prospect William Moore on picking NTDP over CHL and playing piano
A quick chat with the Under-18s leading scorer early in the season.
Will be interesting to see how the new NCAA eligibility rules affects decisions like this, and the future of the NTDP as a result. It'll survive for sure for now because of how good a devlopment path it has proven to be, but if players decide CHL --> NCAA is on par with NTDP --> NCAA, things could change.

It's gotta be true.
It's early but Martone is one of the many OHL guys worth getting a viewing on:

All things being equal, I really hope they can get a left shot center if they are once again in the top 5 of the draft and especially if they move up in the lottery for once.

Carter Bear. Smart, scrappy and fits the profile of what the Sabres need to a tee. If he was playing in Ontario he'd be getting a tonne more press.
Bear works his berries off.

Martone, Hagens, Schaefer, Misa are top-4 locks from what I've seen.

At the beginning of the year I was hoping that McQueen in the teens would be the pick. Now we are looking at picking well into the lottery.
Yeah, this thread will be jumping.
