2025 NHL Draft Rankings - Top 16 November

[@doom1354]

Carter Bear cracking the top 10 come draft day bet the house. 20 goals 41 points in 23 WHL games so far this season.

[@cranehook4715]

For me, McQueen is a wild card. Yes, he's averaging a goal per game at the time of his injury, HOWEVER, half of those came on opening night. Once he returns, hopefully he can show consistency and not be a streaky scorer.

[@nhldraftpros]

Exactly! We will have to see how he finishes out the season.

[@Newwavehockey]

Really nice list there! Sad to see my boys Justin Carbonneau & Milton Gästrin aren’t on it but I really love your takes on Desnoyers and Eklund. Hoping Hagens turns things around and goes #1

[@nhldraftpros]

Gonna be a fun draft come June! So many possibilities!

[@justinshields3819]

NHL 2025 top 5 mock draft 1. Michael Misa 2. Mathew Schaefer 3. James Hagens 4. Porter Martone 5. Roger McQueen

[@nhldraftpros]

Very similar! And top 4 will move around all season.

[@aaroncosta905]

Would LOVE my Sharks to snag Porter Martone

[@scottduncan5244]

Schaefer would be better for sharks but I’d take Martone after him

[@BradleyDDY]

@@scottduncan5244we have Dickinson, Cagnoni, mukmadullin, pohlkamp, Walman, etc we have a lot of d prospects I feel like we need another winger but if we end up getting Schaefer I wouldn’t be mad haha. Good problems to have but I would prefer martone rn

[@Stoney037]

The top 4 in this class are top notch. Then I find it takes a big drop and its not as deep as last year. I think a lot of people in like the mid first to early 2nd are all similar in skill, really just hairs at that point. Also the drop off from Schaeffer to the whoever you consider the next defenseman is HUGE imo. Schaeffer is tiers above most of them. He looks like he is gonna be a stud

[@nhldraftpros]

So fun to watch! Especially at the CHL USA Prospects Challenge...love to watch him play really well with/against the Top Prospects of this draft...or most of them. lol

[@Marzoff]

You're sleeping a little bit on Victor Eklund imo, but overall really solid list! :) Keep up the videos and good work bud.

[@nhldraftpros]

Thanks! It's early....this list is gonna change daily probably lol

[@Marzoff]

@ Yea especially with WJC coming up :D

[@nhldraftpros]

@@Marzoff True!

[@27metro34]

No Carter Bear in the top 16? I have a feeling that kid goes high. He’s like a bat out of hell on the forecheck and his intensity is unmatched. I think scouts are gonna love him on draft day. Defence is an issue but he will develop.

[@KanadianGOOSE8]

I love these videos keep it up

[@nhldraftpros]

Thanks for watching!

[@ChaseRiessen]

Schaefer to SJ 🎉

[@qc_mercier_4939]

Commun 😂😂 sj would be way to strong 😭

[@BradleyDDY]

Not sure if I want em, we have such a good d core I would rather a forward but hey good problems to have haha. Kinda wanted martone👀

[@mederecord7991]

MTL need Schaefer !! I would also be happy if we end up with Hagens or Misa.

[@pmonty420]

I would rather the habs get Martone . He checks all the boxes of what habs need to keep the rebuild moving . Size , speed , good hands and IQ . Him , Hage and Demidov on the same line would be insane in a couple of years .

[@mederecord7991]

@ hmm for me with Demidov, Slaf and Caufield the habs need a center or a D!

[@LaurierGagnon]

@@pmonty420 I think what we really need to be competitive is a number one center right now we have enough d's and wingers I can bet you 100 that the habs are gonna target a center especially since dach is not playing well

[@pmonty420]

@ I tend to agree with that but I would still try to get Martone since the top ranked centers a fairly small in the upcoming draft . Hage might become our first line center . Fingers crossed lol

[@pmonty420]

@@LaurierGagnon There are no big physical centers worthy of a top 5 pick in the upcoming draft . Micheal Hage could become that big #1 center in 2 years .

[@Healthy_Tanks49]

Caleb Desnoyer Reminds me of Berkeley Catton whoever gets him is gonna have a stud.

[@Nai911]

Misa #1

[@Funkshway]

Blackhawks should have taken a forward at 2 last year and taken B. Fiddler this year for this draft. Also in the hopes we would have another high draft pick top 5 maybe for this year. I still think Levshunov is going to be a bust

[@tomslick2058]

Watching tape on Levshunov. And he is mediocre. Don't see what the scouts were thinking. Slow. Bad awareness. Jumping in and getting burned is not a offensive Defenceman. 13:18

[@Funkshway]

@ I’ve been saying this. The man wants to be the 4th forward and completely disregards his responsibility. Makar jumps in when he knows it’s a good time. If they think Levshunov is going to be a Makar he is far from it. Man will be a 40 point a season guy maybe. Hes a defense liability and is getting torched by AHL players. I don’t have high hopes or expectations from him. Considering we’re the worst 5 on 5 offensive team in the league I thought our choice would be to draft high offensive talent to put alongside bedard. Guess not. Hope we have a high draft pick this year so we can get someone to help.

[@ztobro]

Let’s hope Flyers can get close to that top 5🤪

[@natehyland836]

We need a video on Cole Reschny

[@nhldraftpros]

On the list!

[@meatrider4995]

Really hope Chicago trades into the top 16 with leafs pick come draft day. It seems that you can get good value in the top 20 this year. Regardless of what else happens, we need to leave the draft with Martone or maybe Misa

[@nhldraftpros]

Maybe Hawks get lucky and land the 1st overall again!

[@Al_Andaloussi85]

Waw.... insane rankings ! Even if I disagree about a bunch of your takes I highly respect your convictions about those kids. I had few chokes like Martone out of top 3, Shaefer 1st overall, Hensler top 10 and Frondell over Eklund but still love you're express your truly own rankings.

[@nhldraftpros]

Thanks! These will change all season long. It's a tough draft to formulate...especially this early. Need more live viewings. I'm going to CHL/USA prospect game tomorrow so probably will have a different opinion after game lol

[@Al_Andaloussi85]

@nhldraftpros ahah probably !

[@matthewcolitti8456]

Martone at 4 is wild

[@nhldraftpros]

It's early....gonna change a lot throughout the year!

[@AdenMisch-j8x]

Ryabkin is like the eiserman of thus draft

[@Lebowski55]

Is it accurate to say that guys in the 6 - 16 range are almost interchangeable? Theres a clear top 4 prospects in this draft, then the next 12 guys are in the same tier.

[@nhldraftpros]

I'd say so! I think the Top 4 are definitely a tier of their own, and then tiers below them. There may be some lines drawn along that 5-16 range, but they are close for sure.

[@elvisisalive2716]

It’s criminal to leave Joshua Ravensbergen off the top 15. 6’5 stud in the net from the Cougars.

[@Jmulk96]

It really isn’t at all

[@killerpodcasts]

That's really high for fiddler

[@CarbonaraKing]

Is this Biz?🤔

[@jdiabo16]

Damn bud.. why are you so low on Jake O’Brein ? And I have Matthew Schaefer going first to the Habs 💪🏻💪🏻

[@powers1500]

I like Schaefer, Misa and Hagens but unless Montreal wins the lottery, we will not see anyone of them in Montreal. Montreal will likely finish 5th to 7th. The 5 teams to pick first at the 2025 draft might be in the same order as the 2024 draft...time will tell !!!

[@mederecord7991]

@@powers1500 I would not be so sure, MTL is currently 31st, I don’t see 6 teams being worse then them !

[@powers1500]

@mederecord7991 San Jose Chicago, Anaheim and Columbus will be there again top4. Lets not forget that teams like Pittsburg, Calgary, St-Louis, Nashville and Philadelphia could possibly sink very quickly in the standings right after the trade deadline. So it is still very possible that Montreal ends up 7th at the draft...time will tell !!! deadline.

[@TheFlizash]

Martone=Blackhawks.

[@vincentjolicoeur]

Hagens is no-brainer for me. Hockey IQ is through to roof, he's already showing signs of an elite two-way forward and that's not mentionning the best skating technique i've seen in a prospect. WE NEED HAGENS

[@Bridgywood]

I’ve seen him 3 times in person, hasn’t looked like a #1 pick yet. Unreal skating, heads on a swivel, but a lot of his shifts you barely notice him out there

[@tomslick2058]

Right handed D is over rated. You get fooled into taking a dogg like Levshunov. Guy is horid. Maybe a 3rd pair.

[@nhldraftpros]

The NHL love R handed D tho!

[@stevenbauer4799]

a d man is not going first. and misa has way more g's than hagens so stop with the hagens love. misa has picked it up being the guy now with nhl drafted guys gone. misa should be no. one.

[@nhldraftpros]

Top 4 could go first overall...just depends what a team is looking for come draft day!
