2025 NHL Draft GDT

[seattleblue]

Here is a repost of MN's mock draft.

Notice how there are no caveats about if there are trades before the draft, what was he thinking?
Usually he expresses his qualifications, reservations and additionals so eloquently

Well, I did pretty well with the top-10 but throw the rest out the window I guess!

I feel pretty vindicated about my top 5. If only I had not moved Desnoyers up at the very end ...

HASHTAG TOP5

Looks like I missed a Francis Park above. What I did was I knew the draft would be tonight and it was already past seven so I figured that they would be late in the round. There was no pick at the time so I watched the bottom of the screen and they were scrolling the names of the players and they had as 17, Malcom’s Spence,LW, so I had to assumed the Blues had already picked.

For young kids, I’m surprised at the deep voices of the kids.

Man. This is slow.

Now that Ive been watching a few minutes. I guess they keep rearranging the players who are still left to show the highest ranked choices remaining.
Getting close I hope it’s before 9 o’clock

Frickin Detroit ... always drafting well

Everybody's gonna leave their seat in Detroit Rock City

[kimzey59]

I'm officially on Eklund watch.

They have a top rated system - they need to make it work.

[Lefley 25]

Frickin Detroit ... always drafting well

Agree
Need some more reaches

[seattleblue]

My top three forwards are Eklund, Carbonneau, Reschny
Top three defensemen are Aticheson, Smith, Brzustevich

Minimum one of those six will be available

[Jackie Chiles]

do these kids all look tall or is Gary Bettman really short?

I thought the same thing earlier when Bayley announced the Sharks pick.

[LuvthaBlues]

All day I’ve had the feeling Reschny Will be our guy.

[VonRye]

do these kids all look tall or is Gary Bettman really short?

Bettman is 5'7", so he's going to make everyone look tall.

This draft has made me cry a lot

[Younghopp1991]

I really hope we are flexible and not fixated on a specific person. One more reach and we get to pick from a couple guys we didnt think we would get the option to have

[STL fan in MN]

Eklund, Reschny and Aitcheson still out there!

This draft has made me cry a lot

You should schedule a session with a mental health professional.
