[@nhldraftpros]

Is there a prospect missing from the 2025 NHL Draft Rankings list? Let me know! #nhldraft

[@y3ee3e]

appreciate your videos an effort to make these..ill keep my eye out on these player through the next several months.

[@nhldraftpros]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate all the support! Cheers

[@saltywingsandavsfan]

Based off of the WHC-17 we’re getting a lot of small skilled forwards and a stacked year for the USNTDP and Swedes

[@saltywingsandavsfan]

One player I really like is Billy Zonnon. He’s a very aggressive skater from Rouyn-Noranda. I’ve liked his compete and off puck play so far. Hopefully he can be a late to mid first rounder.

[@stevenbauer4799]

2:25. That goal was sick. Those are two vet o s 20 year old d man misa undresses for that goal. Not playing third line minutes next season will see misa's numbers go up. And misa's vision to find the open man is sick too. His shot-exceptional. And misa beat la second round pick c.george in net.

[@ryanbowlby859]

Hensler to sharks. Need that RHD prospect

[@benpezzot8805]

Frondell is my number 2 and the only reason sweden didnt get farther in the u18 tournament was beacause he was injured if he wasnt injured he would have beenn the top scorer on sweden and i dont think it would be close

[@jett27j30]

That is a stacked top 10. I do agree mostly with that list for top 10. Before this year, I would've had misa #1, but those numbers from Hagens are something else.

[@Whatdoingdog44]

Have you watched a single one of these kids play? I love when people watch a KZbin video and just glaze all over prospects like bruh this top ten is not as deep as last year🤣🤣🤣

[@jett27j30]

@@Whatdoingdog44 last year as in bedard or celebrini? Bedard top 10, pribably even middle ten is better than next year, but next year easily crushes celebrini top 10

[@Whatdoingdog44]

@@jett27j30 The draft we just had. The top talent in this previous draft out shines the talent in this current top ten. The 2024 draft is not as flashy but the talent overall is better and the top tier of the forward group in 2024 draft is a lot more talented than the 2025 group. Celebrini Demidov Lindstrom, Catton, Iginla. Beats out Hagans, Frondell, Martone,McQueen or Misa. And the D prospects are not even close so thats not even a discussion. 2024 had the best crop of defensive prospects in a long time.

Great video! Who is the best Finnish prospect in this draft class. Is it Jesper Kotajärvi?

[@nhldraftpros]

I'd say Jesper for sure at this point!

[@carl-johanfougstedt199]

@@nhldraftpros As a Finnish hockey fan I really hope that he will be a first rounder. Max Westergård is another Finnish prospect who could probably be a first round pick too. He´s one of the youngest draft eligible players for the 2025 draft and he´s in one of the best player development systems in the world when he´s playing in Frölunda U20 in Sweden.

[@nhldraftpros]

@@carl-johanfougstedt199 Oh wow...will have to keep an eye on Westergard! Thanks for input!

[@cranehook4715]

Won't be a top draft pick but Im excited to see where Josh Ravensbergen ends up going. His play in for Prince George was lights out as a rookie, looking forward to seeing continued development this season.

[@ChristianYogendran]

i think hes top 15, could go 10-15 at this point

[@user-ed6nt1ml6p]

Seems that it could be a very stacked draft class what do you think about it ?

[@nhldraftpros]

Looking good so far based on D-1 play. Let's keep an eye on their progression and see if we have some gems in this draft class.

[@Michael-vo5nj]

What do you think of Jordan Gavin?

[@peterolbrisch8970]

Hopefully there's a right shot defenseman that Chicago can draft.

[@sylvanmw]

I'm interested in seeing how Desnoyers and Carbonneau develop. It's been a while since the Q has had any notable prospects.

[@nhldraftpros]

Nice to see some Q kids in the conversation for sure!

[@JeanJames-ff3wx]

wow since demidov has one more year with khl why not tank again for another 5th overall pick for the last time then in 2026 we going be serious team 😈but i hope st lous coachs them well tho

[@Jake23115]

My gut feeling is that the Habs (my team) will probably be another bottom 10 team again. I have absolutely no issue with it either, I think we're missing one more piece.

[@JeanJames-ff3wx]

I want Martone on Bedard's wing so bad

[@nhldraftpros]

Would be sick!

[@gunnarburigsay6408]

@@nhldraftpros Celebrini's wing***

[@jack9548]

I wonder if Martone could be a centre at the next level. He has the build and skills to do so. I’m just not sure if he ever has played centre for a duration of time.

[@woodstocknun]

ihs wozniak, i think(!), was hurt against canada in the first prelim game.. and played reserved minutes after that.

[@woodstocknun]

im looking forward to the ivan hlinka, high probability of a canada - sweden final.

[@nhldraftpros]

YES! Hlinka is always a nice start to a draft season. Can't wait!

[@pellegebing9805]

Victor eklund should be before hensler and schaefer he can literally do absolute anything and probably top 3 skating in the whole draft

[@flyersfan0287]

Ryabkin 58 in 44, Matvei 51 in 28. Slight difference although Matvei was slightly older (December vs April).

[@nhldraftpros]

Yeah if you look at their ages when they did it.

[@bapjap]

Still really early to tell. It’s crazy though. Been hearing about Martone and Misa for some time now.. Think when it’s all said and done Misa could be at that number 1, but again too early!

[@lauig]

Wow wasting no time ! Love it ! Now, where's that pop corn ?

[@nhldraftpros]

HAHAH...enjoy!

[@ren2871]

I think Ryabkin and Frondell overtake Martone and McQueen. This draft has a lot of older prospects born in September- November. Martone is an October birthday and McQueen missed the cut off for the 2024 draft by a few weeks. Their numbers relative to the 2024 class were a bit weaker. I think Frondell shows more upside and Ryabkin being a center with a 2 way game and actual elite skill puts him ahead

[@DonatoWilliams]

McKenna is a 26 draft choice, probably the no1.

[@timmytimmy803]

Tretheway should have got an HM:

[@yogibearstie]

Ducks fans will be well represented in your audience. 🥺

[@Tdesparza]

Sharks are going to end up trading down and landing Hensler plus another 1st in 2026.

[@ryderholloway8982]

If available, the Flames will 1000% take Roger McQueen.

[@gregorymann3431]

:)

[@iouz88]

Seeing how many of the top 10 on this list are forwards makes me think maybe my Blackhawks can end up with a talented winger line mate to Bedard after all. Maybe soften the blow of them choosing Levshunov over Demidov haha. I do really want the Hawks to draft Sascha Boumedienne though. Also, look out for Victor Eklund (younger brother of William Eklund of the San Jose Sharks), he’s going to be a big riser on most boards as the year goes on.

[@nathanadrian7797]

I'll bet a Canadian goes 1st , and 3 or 4 more Canadians are taken in the top ten.

[@frequentsee3815]

Hagens already reminds me of Fantilli

[@davecartwright4610]

Stylistically they arent even close. Fantilli is a big powerful 2 way well rounded center who plays a straight line game. Hagens is a smaller faster shiftier playmaker offensive dynamo. If both players reach max potential think fantilli akin to anze kopitar and hagens akin to jack hughes. Both supreme talents but their games are very different.

[@N1xon45]

The Flames need to finally stop being terrible at winning as well as terrible at losing. So tired of watching them draft ~10 to 20. It does very little to improve the team and just keeps them in the most mediocre franchise in NHL history realm. A title they've earned many times over. The tank has commenced, and they need to be drafting top 3 minimum.
