The 2025 NHL Draft Thread

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Bill Zonnon seems like he could be a good third liner, but not more than that

The broadcast is praising how he adds something to their team that they don’t currently have, but it’s not like most of those guys will be around when Zonnon or Kindel is ready.

Tom Green announcing the SNES pick, Logan Hensler

Solid defenseman, definitely in the third tier of them in this draft. Don’t know if it’s fair but he feels like a Nick Jensen type

I mean, his name sounds like he’s a third liner from the 89-90 Penguins

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Kings trade 24 to the PNES for 31 and 59

I don’t think they’re taking a goalie, maybe Lakovic

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I guess they haven’t taken a defenseman yet

[Grand Moff Larkin]

They pick Shawn Horcoff’s son William

Big boy, center, wouldn’t have minded him in the 2nd round but I didn’t think he’d last that long

[Grand Moff Larkin]

“His favorite food is pizza”

NO WAY

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Blackhawks take Vaclav Nestrasil, younger brother of former Wing Andrej

Wings have the lesser of the two brothers yet again! Retroactively! Bad!

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I want more goalies off the board since the Wings almost certainly won’t take one

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Shreds take Ryker Lee, another guy I thought would go in the second

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Caps took Lakovic, even though they already know Mantha

JERTS pick D Sascha Boumedienne, good value at this point of the draft

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Cullen Potter feels like the obvious Canes pick

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Canes trade 29 to Chicago for 34, 62, and a 2027 5th

[Grand Moff Larkin]

30% of Wings fans are losing their shit about Yzerman not swinging for the fences (Jackson Smith) and taking another Marco Kasper type

Marco Kasper rules! Give me all of the Marco Kaspers you got!

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Chicago takes Mason West

Hopefully he chooses to be a college QB

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Did not anticipate the Sharks taking Ravensbergen after getting Askarov last year

[nick]

I like the sound of Sascha Boumedienne, especially at 28.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

Flames take Cullen Potter with the last pick in the first round

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I like the sound of Sascha Boumedienne, especially at 28.

I feel like a few teams (Pittsburgh, Chicago) got too cute with taking third-line forwards in the 20s of this draft

[practice]

wasn't Eklund talking about like a top 5 pick in mock drafts etc?
