The 2025 NHL Draft Thread

[Grand Moff Larkin]

I thought he only had one year left. He has two. I don’t think that’s a problem with Cossa. He’ll probably get spot call-ups when Gibson / Talbot are nursing injuries, then he’s the back-up / platoon in 26-27.

The Minnesota Wild have selected 18-year-old Orebro Jr. D Theodor Hallquisth with the 52nd pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Hallquisth trended up notably this year, becoming an important part of Sweden's U18 team and showing he could play at the SHL level too. He's a 6-foot-2 right-shot defenseman who can skate and plays hard, which is immediately attractive. He projects to make a lot of stops versus men. His offense is a minor question. At the World Jr. A Challenge, he displayed notable offense, but I don't think he's a super smart puck-mover overall. He does check enough boxes to have a chance to make it.
