The 2025 Draft Thread

From what I gather the top 4-5 guys are interchangeable and projected to top out at "Hall Of Very Good" (nowhere close to franchise caliber) and the rest is nothing at all to write home about. Is that a fair assessment?

It's still early. Often in seasons like this, some players will wind up as big risers and the media space scouts will claim to have a better feel for how these guys will work out. I think Martone could be special in terms of how he has size and sand and skill to his game. He's not Corey Perry dink level but his game other than the dinkness has some comps. He's a big player who plays up to his size and has amazing skills.

And his dad was a former Sabres draft pick

If this is the truth and we have a top 3 pick ..it should be traded

Not disagreeing with you. We need veteran help, now.

But iirc the last top-10 pick traded for a veteran player was Corey Schneider going from Vancouver to NJD for 9OA in 2013. It almost never happens.

I would expect Hagens, Martone and Shaefer to go 1-2-3 at this point and we pick 5-7
