Top 15 Defensemen for the 2025 NHL Draft

[STL fan in MN]

I'm sticking with Brzustevich. Kid is going to have a monster D+1 year with Bonk and Dickinson graduating out of London and that pick will look great. London is an exceptional junior hockey program, they all have to earn their ice time. He is being groomed for the pros, and I like his offensive instincts more than Hensler, though I will say I have him and Hensler back to back. (I worked on my list yesterday quite a bit.) What I saw in the Memorial Cup I can envision this player doing on the Blues, at RD.

I’d be thrilled with the pick. Been a fan of Brzustewicz for a few months now. Just don’t see why he’s ranked more in the 25-35 range. He’s easily in the same caliber as Hensler IMO.

I’d also be very happy with Reschny or Bear.

There are probably 6 other teams ahead of the Blues that will be happy with Reschny...I just can't see him falling to 19.

I think Reschny is unlikely to last to 19 too. But I don’t think the chances are zero..

Who is your main want and then also, who do you see the Blues picking. Just two names....you already know mine.

Looking forward to answering both questions. who the blues picking is a guess but I am getting the list ready. I'll have the 13 names I think won't be available and in the order I would want them to luckily fall to the Blues. Then from 14-X is how deep I want the list to go. Obviously the six players that I list 14-19 would be my top choices. I'll give you a teaser it's a LW then a RW then a C then two RDs then a LW
