The 2025 Stanley Cup Final concluded Tuesday with the Florida Panthers beating the Edmonton Oilers in Game 6 to secure their second straight championship.

And now the offseason has officially begun.

The most notable event on the calendar is the 2025 NHL Draft, which starts in eight days. This year's draft class is impressive, especially at the center position. That's good news for the Boston Bruins, who will pick No. 7 overall after failing to make the playoffs for the first time since 2016.

19. St. Louis Blues: Braedon Cootes, C, Seattle (WHL)

Cootes led Seattle in scoring with 63 points in 60 games, nearly doubling his offensive output from the previous season. He also has strong leadership skills and captained Canada to a gold medal at the 2025 U-18 World Championship. His play style is actually pretty similar to Blues captain Brayden Schenn.
