@@CraigMcKee there is some videos online about some of the guys we drafted legorocks makes some he is not a scout or anything but they are decent for info

[@GravitehHockey]

Sorry to hear that Craig, I tried to limit myself to talking about guys who I thought had NHL potential as to not overwork myself, but I can give some more thoughts here. Ben Sawyer: Didn't see much of him, but like Vanacker, great on the rush, consistent give and go game and could be a major transition asset. Owen Protz: That kid will hit anything that moves, but his hands are unreliable in the OFF zone and his skating isn't impressive at this point. Major WIP. Tyler Thorpe: Even as an overager he's incredibly raw, but his shot and frame are his biggest assets and he understandably relies on them a lot. Outside of those two things, not a whole lot there IMO. Only other one in this class I've paid attention to is Ben Merrill, the shot is incredible and he loves to release it anywhere in the OFF zone. Good physical traits (even if his hitting can leave him out of position sometimes), the big weaknesses to me are the skating and decision making. The skating is just awful at this stage, it's clunky, and it takes him a long time to gather motion and get going up the ice. Add to that a player who struggles to make reads quickly, and I really don't see an NHLer there. Should be solid in college though with Harvard.

[@zachhaist6426]

Maple leafs passed up on Solberg, exactly what they needed lol

[@Ok0707]

Clearly not familiar with Danford. Great defensive player, great skater, mean and has untapped offensive potential.

Could probably have added a pick in the 35-40 range plus something else AND still gotten Sennecke.

Martin Madden and Pat Verbeek know how to draft especially when you see how they valued Carlsson, Mintyukov and McTavish. Obviously we won’t know in a couple of years, but we can imagine that Sennecke fits the mold the ducks want and are willing to use the top 3 pick for, the ducks also have gauthier, Carlsson, McTavish, Zegras, Terry and new up and comers this season who are NHL ready. Is Sennecke at 3 a reach? Sure, but Verbeek and Madden know what they are doing and will make sure Sennecke pays off.

For Yakemchuk, I think he knows the needs of the Sens and he admits that Yakemchuk is a great RHD. But, the fact is that the Sens passed on many more valuable players, such as Parekh, Buium (who can play on the right side) and Dickinson (even if he’s lefty). There was also forwards that are way better than Yakemchuk, like Catton. At the 7th overall, I think you should draft the best player available, and this wasn’t Yakemchuk (even if he’s a great player). The value that you get can be traded after!!

With such shake ups in the end result of the first round this year perhaps there’s more at play than outsiders realize. I find it surprising that some players dropped as much as they did. Not really surprised by the rising of some guys as the far drop of others. Time will tell but an example for the Leafs and Sens would be Zibanejad and Reilly. Both fan bases LOST it when they were drafted. Turned out to be good picks. As a Sharks fan I can’t be happier with how this year went. Dickinson was a steal at 11, Chernyshov at 33 is fantastic as well. Should surgery, moved up to KHL, all dropped his stock but his ceiling is so much higher than 33rd overall.

Now you add in Buium, plus Lambos, Peart, Specek, Hunt and the Wild will have assets to also dangle in free agency next summer as there is only so much room in St.Paul. Need to get bigger and the trade with Boston for Lauko shows Guerin will retool the bottom 6. With that trade they also moved up to 122 to take a flyer on Kiviharju - great trade. Future is bright, one more year of cap hell👍….

Great review. You clearly know hockey. Just one suggestion. Please, PLEASE, PLEASE, put time stamps so people can more easily navigate to their favorite team if they want to. Thanks so much. And again, great content and analysis.

[@strifelord5239]

Graviteh grading the Sens a D makes me feel way better about the Sens' draft

[@Charbo84]

Please do a compare/ contrast between Dadonov and Mitchkov

[@aaronst.pierre3080]

I loved your draft table and analysis. My only issue is in your perception being that you said you love Cole Caufield. I don't see a guy there that is going to win personally, no forechecking potential or ability to win board battles and shoots way under league averages for top 6 guys.

[@samgardner4667]

I would’ve liked to of seen St. Louis package up one of their extra 2nds and one of their extra 3rds to move up to 12 to grab Buium

[@andrewptob]

I’m trusting Danny Brière as a Flyers fan. They liked Luchanko more than Helenius and even Eiserman and I think that’s okay. They tried to be aggressive and move up, but it didn’t work out. So, they’re now stocked up for next year’s deeper draft and took some nice low risk guys this year. I get why they didn’t get a high grade and that’s okay

[@ren2871]

What makes you say it's a deeper class next year? After Hagens, Martone, Frondell and Rybakin, the guys projected to go top 10-15 are quite a bit older (Sept-Oct-Nov birthday) and had worse stats than most of the top 20 guys had

[@andrewptob]

@@ren2871 That’s what I’ve heard draft experts say for the past few years. Time will tell of course.

[@Mcbikey24]

Very good draft for Washington, especially considering how great the Logan Thompson trade is for them, and even though Parascak and Hutson both have a lot work to do they do have very high upside.

[@user-ed6nt1ml6p]

Parascak at 17 is a little bit Wild honestly even more considering who was still available with less flaws in their game to me not a good pick up at 17 but we'll see of course

[@gabrielrockman]

I liked the Washington Capitals draft, but I don't like the Parascak pick. I would have preferred Solberg, Hage, or Chernyshov. But I like a lot of the picks they made on day two.

[@Mcbikey24]

@@gabrielrockman I don’t love the Parascak pick either but I see where they are coming from, his upside is very high he just needs to work on that skating and get stronger, because his shot, hands and passing are at a very high level and he’s also very smart and hard working, I just think if they liked him so much they still could’ve traded 5 to 10 spots back and take him + pick up maybe a 2nd round pick or something

[@MaximillianVII]

To sum up this draft: 6'3

[@Drewster6]

Calgary at 28:30

[@eleanorcat9982]

What is so funny is back in 2017 everyone said the Red Wings got an A+ because of Zadina and Veleno. In reality, it’s more like a D as Zadina was one of the biggest busts in Red Wings history and Veleno, a solid grinder type player.

[@eliaminator2313]

Avs went crazy picking goalies I believe they got 3 whichnis crazy like the Nabokov pick for them could see himnbeing NHL ready in a couple years

[@djyanno]

About Michael Hage, Scott Wheeler has him as one of the best skaters in the draft and you say he lacks speed. As a profane it's hard to follow sometimes, did you make a mistake and did Scott Wheeler?

[@timburton1141]

Good job. I have a few suggestions to optimize your delivery. I'm a Communication Coach so I naturally see things. Would be fun to chat! I'm a big fan of the game and the strategic side of how to build a winner. Tim

[@RyanM0526]

I thought Sweeney did a good job with limited picks Dean Letourneau is a stud, Groenewold is a lot like Carlo, and I’m very exited about Morello being a middle 6 Swiss Army knife

[@strangesightsinthesky]

i totally agree&they needed it!

[@poemarnan5498]

Blues D Prospect pool was really down before this draft. Looks like they wanted to do a refresh on that this draft.

[@Cook8999]

Montreal did real nice this year

[@miketru7703]

As a philly fan to me there 1st rnd pick sucked to what they could have gotten 🤬 the rest of there picks were ok

[@iem123]

As a leafs fan, Danford seems like the defenseman version of Cowan. Everyone was hating on the Cowan pick at the time and one year later it’s looking great. Not worried, I’m content to let Wes (Wes Clark, the leafs head of Amateur scouting) cook and wait to judge the picks until a couple of years.

[@ryanwasiak7050]

As a hawks fan I was really down on our draft but after taking a few days bc the players I liked didn’t get picked I think they had a solid draft. Besides Levshunov and Boisvert I think a lot of our guys are high floor guys but they have a lot of speed and physicality. As long as our first rounders turn out to be roughly what they are supposed to be he will be sitting pretty.

[@peterdemint7195]

sennecke is a major high risk high reward gamble but verbeeks other questionable picks were macT and leo so here's hoping

[@MatthewKniesEnjoyer89]

mac swanson might be the steal of the draft. saw so many fargo force games this past szn and he was so much to watch. always in the right position and set up his teammates so so well.

[@gioknows]

Ouch. Cheers from Ottawa🍁

[@BloodandSoilNS]

The Sens did alright, man. The kid is good.

[@Dcheen]

It’s funny that you comment on Hague’s lack of speed when the scouting reports I’ve read discuss speed being a strength of his and that he’s a fantastic skater. Odd.

[@tomslick2058]

Hawkes handed Montreal A +

[@TheMTHSYoshi]

Devil's getting anything for Holtz is fine.. he got passed up by his own country for 3 non NHL players and was relegated to the 4th line. Marino was eh but Pesce is all but confirmed for NJ so they had to move him... If you think about it as Marino for Pesce + 2 2nds you take that every day of the year and leap day

[@pattremblay1551]

I have montreal 2nd and minessota 5th. SJ is first for sure

[@johnwhiteman8716]

Blues just spammed Czech players jeez

[@urban_89]

A+ and #1 woooooo judd bracket and his team are insane.

[@Friarfan4life]

I think you’re sleeping a bit on Logan sawyer for mtl

[@Burnzie8818]

you should put time stamps in, but i enjoyed the video

[@brandona9326]

I felt the way after Ducks took Leo over Fantilli but they knew what they were doing. Leo is sick. They must have seen something in this draft to let Demidov go by.

[@efrainrodarte5266]

I’m a ducks fan myself I’m confused but I’m not the GM so hopefully he knows what’s up

[@urban_89]

Need a video on the difference an owner makes, arizona / utah. Same gm management team. Owner chg and the team has made splashes. The difference is insane and im so happy for utah. And makes me so heartbroken for arizona fans. But hopefully a new ownership group incl. Shane doan and ive seen ppl reaching out to J.J.WATT to maybe get involved amongst others that could give them hope in the near future

[@nikholuaseckert1770]

Same people saying Cowan was a reach

[@danielflynn8530]

I’m here to see if Nathan agrees with me on St, Louis being a C- as my grade but I’ll see if we both agree.

[@danclark4416]

5:16 as a Flyers fan i think you graded us poorly when you look at us before the draft and after we stocked the shelves eith decent picks in a shallow draft. Its something that we have known for a while. 2024 draft class not predicted to be super impressive. But the 2025 class looks a whole lot better. And Briere walks away with 3picks in the first and 3 in the second. In a supposedly very deep draft . . . Excuse me? No GM move can be looked at in a vacuum. And we you realize how bare the flyers cupboards are Flyers should get a B or B- at least

[@user-tb8nc5yd9n]

Nabokov 🏔️🏔️🏔️

[@Mr.Tophat-106]

Can someone tell Me why my blackhawkes didnt draft DIMI???? I mean unless connor said i dont want him I have no clue why they didnt draft him

[@BigEGoPro]

@graviteh once you got to Vegas it's like someone got after you for being too loud! You were so subdued for that second half

[@Buckwilder-ws1hq]

Not 1 American in the top 10 and only one in the top 16. Do we need to have a talk about the the development of American players?

[@893263007]

Sweden also had a weak draft. And the province of Quebec.

[@gabrielrockman]

As a Capitals fan, I'm hoping that Ryan Leonard represents the USA well. He looks like he could be really good.
