Now that the 2024-25 hockey season is well underway, it’s time for my first NHL draft board of the campaign.
Prospects from all over the globe have been playing with their club teams. Some players have played in international events or showcase games already, and the World Junior Championship is right around the corner.
As a general overview, the 2025 NHL draft class is a bit different than recent years. There is no clear-cut No. 1 at the moment as there is in most years. The top end features five players who each make an interesting case for first overall. None of them are quite at the level of Auston Matthews or Connor Bedard as prospects, but they are all very good players in their own right.
The depth of the 2025 NHL draft class isn’t quite as good as it’s been in recent years. The U.S. crop of players is a bit underwhelming. Finland lacks top-end talent in this age group. The Russian draft-eligibles are long shots in most cases. The OHL, WHL and Sweden are the strong groups in the draft class, which is reflected in the ranking.
Method To The Madness
These rankings are my opinions based on my views on each one of these players. If I have not seen a player, I will not rank them.
While size on the extreme ends matters, it is not a deciding factor for me on a player. If an undersized player doesn’t let his size hinder him, I believe the tools and skills will work out. Additionally, if a player is 6-foot-6 but can’t skate, I am less inclined to value that player because height doesn’t equal talent. Big isn’t always good.
As for traits that I value, intelligence, mobility, skill and the ability to chain plays together are what I look for. Physicality is valuable but often overrated because hitting everything that moves is usually a bad decision. Functional physicality is the name of the game. You can hit another player all you want, but if it’s two seconds after a pass or you are just hitting a guy with no intention of recovering the puck, it’s useless and often takes you out of the play.
With all that out of the way, thank you for following along for yet another draft year. I am always open to discussion on these rankings and would love to hear your feedback, so reach out to me on X (formerly Twitter).
Without further ado, let’s get to the 2025 NHL draft board.
Top 64 NHL Draft Prospects
1. Michael Misa, C/LW, Saginaw Spirit (OHL), 6-foot-1, 174 pounds
When you’re elite at doing the little things, you can often chain them together to excel overall. Michael Misa is the ‘King of the Little Things’ in this NHL draft class. Usually, the player who excels across the board has a hard time because they get labelled with the ‘jack of all trades, master of none’ tag. With Misa, he is a master of many. That’s what sets him apart in this draft class. He carries a high floor and a high ceiling.
Although Team Canada snubbed him for the world juniors, Misa has been among the best players in the CHL. He currently leads the CHL in goals, and he sits behind just Gavin McKenna in scoring. As Misa dominates the OHL, he’s become a lethal scoring threat as a shooter and passer. When you combine his high pace with a detail-oriented game and give that player scoring ability that Misa has, he deserves the top spot on the draft board.

2. James Hagens, C, Boston College (NCAA), 5-foot-10, 168 pounds
Consider this 1B rather than a true No. 2. Hagens has been the top name on most lists, and it’s well-deserved because there may not be a more dynamic playmaker and shifty skater in the draft class. The way he sees the ice and elevates his teammates is incredible. He’s been the driving force on his teams for years now as the youngest player on the team most of the time.
Playing with Boston College, Hagens has stepped right into the spot left vacant by San Jose Sharks rookie Will Smith on the team’s top line. Playing with Ryan Leonard (WSH) and Gabe Perreault (NYR), Hagens has been finding his groove lately. The production has always been there, but over the last month, we’ve seen Hagens begin to dictate play a bit more.
Hagens is a manipulative puck-mover, and his ability to dazzle is what makes him special. His goal-scoring has started to come along after just one goal in his first dozen games, putting up four in his last four games. There is a very good chance that Hagens will ultimately be the most productive player in this draft class.
3. Matthew Schaefer, D, Erie Otters (OHL), 6-foot-1, 161 pounds
The conversation coming into the year was whether Schaefer could assert himself as the No. 1 defenseman on the board. But his play early in the season has not only done that, but it’s also put him squarely in the race for first overall. The cerebral defender has been fantastic this season, playing big minutes, filling up highlight reels and doing everything Erie has asked of him.
Schaefer’s ability to rise to the moment – whether at an international event, the CHL USA Prospects Challenge or even an OHL game in overtime – is uncanny. Schaefer has consistently left a positive impression on the game’s biggest stage. He’s so fluid in his movement, and his ability to read the ice on and off the puck gives him an edge.
Offensively, Schaefer puts his foot on the gas and enters attack mode. He has the skill to embarrass defenders and the vision to exploit lanes as a passer and shooter. Defensively, Schaefer leverages his mobility to kill play and turn things back up ice. He needs to get stronger and become less reliant on using his skating to make up for mistakes at times, but those will hopefully come with time.
Matthew Schaefer Has Put His Stake In The Ground For No. 1 Overall In The 2025 NHL Draft
4. Porter Martone, RW, Brampton Steelheads (OHL), 6-foot-3, 170 pounds
Another player that seems to universally be in the conversation for first overall, Martone is the epitome of highly skilled power forwards. His ability to blend power and skill has made for a number of highly entertaining moments this season when watching him play. Dangling a goalie with a defender draped all over his back or spinning off a hit to send a perfect feed across the slot, Martone might be one of the hardest players to handle in the draft from the dots down in the offensive zone.
The biggest issue with Martone’s game is that he sometimes lacks pace. He’s not a bad skater, and it’s not as if he is slow, but he just plays a little more methodically and tactically than the other players at the top of the class. It’s not uncommon with bigger, more physical players to play at a lower pace, but with Martone, you can see he has more pace in him at times, so it’s about being able to get there more often.
Martone’s goal-scoring gets plenty of love, but his advancements as a playmaker this season have inserted him in the first overall conversation. On pace to nearly double his production from last season, playing at a nearly 60-goal, 140-point pace, Martone has been wreaking havoc on defenders in the OHL. A big performance on the biggest stage with Canada’s world juniors squad would only boost his stock.
Porter Martone Earned His Spot At Canada’s World Junior Camp
5. Victor Eklund, LW, Djurgarden (Swe.2), 5-foot-11, 161 pounds
The dark horse of the first overall pick conversation, Eklund has been one of the most entertaining players in the draft class, and his production at the Swedish second level has been quite strong thus far. The younger brother of San Jose Sharks forward William Eklund is currently on pace to produce at a level similar to David Pastrnak in his draft year, and he is set to blow recent top 15 draft picks Michael Brandsegg-Nygard (DET) and Dalibor Dvorsky (STL) out of the water statistically.
Eklund plays with NHL pace already, constantly looking to amp up the game’s speed with his skating and passing in transition. He plays with some jam, throwing hits and mixing it up after the whistle. In general, he’s got that dawg in him. Eklund has leaned on his shot a bit more this year, but make no mistake, his playmaking drives his offensive game. He’s had some outstanding passes that wound up dying on a teammate’s stick in the offensive zone. All signs point to his luck turning around. If it does, challenging William Nylander or even Elias Pettersson’s Allsvenskan draft-year production isn’t out of the question.
Eklund isn’t widely regarded as one of the names in the conversation for the first overall pick, but he should be. If he has a strong world juniors with Sweden, there is a chance that Eklund’s name begins to get mentioned with the top names more consistently in the New Year.
2025 NHL Draft Notebook: Highly Rated Hagens, Misa And Eklund Star Early
6. Anton Frondell, C, Djurgarden Jr. (Swe.), Six-foot, 196 pounds
Injuries have been a massive issue for Frondell over the last couple of years, but Frondell seems to be fully healthy, and he’s starting to excel once again. He is a physical beast, and he has legitimate dual-threat scoring ability. Frondell’s shooting talent is impressive, with a heavy release and the ability to shoot from various puck positions.
Frondell’s health will continue to be worth watching. When he initially came back from a knee injury in October, Frondell looked a bit slow, and he was playing with trepidation. After a handful of games, he looked to be playing with more power and using his skill to get back to form. He’s been quite good since the Five Nations tournament he played in around mid-November. Although his stock has started to drop, a strong second half should vault him back up most boards.
7. Jackson Smith, D, Tri-City Americans (WHL), 6-foot-3, 190 pounds
Leading the debate for who the second-best defender in the draft class, the incredibly toolsy Jackson Smith has been one of the more interesting evaluations in this draft class. A big defender who moves at a high level, Smith’s game has evolved into becoming a more two-way defenseman. He’s using his skating and skill offensively and in transition as he has always done, but he’s learning to leverage his physicality and mobility in the defensive end more effectively.
There are still some moments in which Smith’s game can get chaotic in his own end but it’s slowly becoming less of a consistent issue. The 6-foot-3 blueliner has begun to round out his overall game. If he continues to do so, the package that Smith possesses could be tantalizing for NHL scouts.
8. Carter Bear, C/LW, Everett Silvertips (WHL), Six-foot, 172 pounds
There aren’t many players in the draft class who are quite as electric and creative as Carter Bear in the 2025 NHL draft. On pace for more than 110 points in the WHL, Bear has been a driving force for Everett. He’s not collecting points on the back of a strong linemate. He’s an absolute menace for defenders to handle because of his speed and puck skill.
Bear is always looking to push the pace in the game. Whether he has the puck or not, he is looking to force opposing players into making mistakes by suffocating them with pressure. He will attack a defender head-on with the puck, looking to exploit them with quick cuts and drives to the middle. Off the puck, he hunts it down and plays through the hands of the puck carrier to take the puck off of them. He is going to rise up draft boards all year.
9. Cameron Schmidt, RW, Vancouver Giants (WHL), 5-foot-7, 158 pounds
Run and gun, grip it and rip it. That’s how most people summarize Cameron Schmidt’s game, and while it’s certainly not wrong, there is so much more to him. Despite being undersized, Schmidt is a nuisance on the forecheck and is willing to throw his body around. He’s happy to mix it up after the whistle and doesn’t shy away when a bigger player gets in his face, smirking the entire time.
With all of that said, his shot is as dangerous as it comes in the draft class. As a volume shooter, Schmidt always seeks to use his best weapon. He can fly out in transition as well. His speed and shooting talent make Schmidt one of the most dangerous offensive threats in the draft. With some sneaky good passing and an incredible effort level when hunting down pucks in the offensive zone, Schmidt isn’t a one-trick pony. The diminutive scorer will be fun to watch for the rest of the season.
NHL Draft: Three Stars Of Game 1 Of CHL USA Prospects Challenge
10. Lynden Lakovic, LW, Moose Jaw Warriors (WHL), 6-foot-4, 190 pounds
As the season has gone on, Lakovic has become more comfortable with using his size, and that has allowed him to become more effective. He remains a bit of a raw player but the skill has been there this season. Lakovic has a ton of potential.
Lakovic flashes parts of his game all of the time, whether it’s his speed, strength, puck skill, or offensive creation, but when he can put it all together, he looks brilliant.
His ultimate upside will be determined based on how consistently he can pull all of his tools together at once. As he fills out and gets stronger, he should be able to impose himself even more physically, but as of now, he uses his reach and length to protect the puck en route to making a good play.
11. Cullen Potter, C/LW, Arizona State Univ. (NCAA), 5-foot-9, 161 pounds
The undersized forward is the second youngest player in college hockey and could have been playing for the USA Hockey National Team Development Program’s U-18 squad this year. Opting to go to college early was a controversial decision to some, but Potter has begun to adjust to the level, and he is taking over more and more as the season goes on.
Potter is a superb transition presence, moving the puck up ice with excellent crossovers and puck handling as he weaves through traffic. His processing of what is happening on the ice when the puck is on his stick is ahead of most players at his age, and he can exploit passing and shooting lanes with precision. There may not be a player in this draft class who has been more snake-bitten by his teammates than Cullen Potter. From pucks bouncing off their sticks or being shot wide when they have an awning cage, these kinds of things won’t happen forever, and Potter will be the beneficiary.
12. Eric Nilson, C, Djurgarden Jr. (Swe.), Six-foot, 154 pounds
Having Nilson this high is a bit of an outlier but the Swedish center has been nothing short of fantastic to start the season. His intelligence and awareness are as good as just about anyone in the class, and he pairs them with his skill as a playmaker. Nilson brings a dynamic element to the game of a methodical center. His biggest knock is that he needs to fill out and get a bit stronger, but he problem-solves at the junior level and works hard enough to get by at the Swedish second level against men.
Nilson has played quite a bit of this season with Arvid Drott for Djurgarden, and when the duo is together, the intuitive play of Nilson perfectly meshes with the straightforward attacking game that Drott plays. Nilson may not be a top-of-the-lineup center, but he could drive a middle pair from the pivot position.
13. Radim Mrtka, D, Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL), 6-foot-6, 198 pounds
Coming over from Czechia where he played pro, Mrtka has adapted to the North American game quite well. The hulking right-shot defender is quite mobile for his size, and he uses that to impact the game at both ends of the ice. In his own end, he will finish his checks along the wall and use his length to dislodge puck possession.
Mrtka showed some solid footwork and passing ability at the offensive blueline in the Czech league, but he never really found his footing, putting up just one assist. Now facing WHL competition, he has found the back of the net a couple of times, and he’s continuing to show off that passing ability that was so intriguing for a player his size.
14. Malcolm Spence, LW, Erie Otters (OHL), 6-foot-2, 192 pounds
A physical, do-it-all forward who always seems to know what to do. His understanding of how to positively impact the game in various ways allows him to have a good game even when his A-game isn’t present. Spence plays an intelligent two-way game, going hard after opposing puck carriers and using his strength to pull the puck from them. He makes good, simple reads defensively and acts quickly.
Offensively, Spence is an interesting player because while his playmaking has driven his production the last one-and-a-half years, his shot might be the better trait. Spence plays an unselfish brand of hockey, but when he fires the puck, he is a sneaky good scorer. Spence has some skill, and he plays a straightforward game, which should help him translate to the pro level. The question will be where he fits into the lineup.
15. Arvid Drott, RW, Djurgarden Jr. (Swe.), 6-foot-1, 187 pounds
Good things come in twos, and Drott joins his frequent linemate Nilson in the top 15. Drott is a great skater who can wheel around the ice. He also has a lethal shot, which makes him an excellent complement to Nilson’s tactical approach. Drott has some nifty puck skill as well from time to time, evading defenders in transition to find open ice. He’s a solid off-puck attacker who takes advantage of any space given to him.
When he is in his own end, Drott makes an honest effort and uses his speed to pressure puck carriers. He isn’t always the most refined player, but he has the tools to put together some impressive performances. He will probably go later than this in the draft unless the hype train starts to build, which means some team will get a very good complementary player on Day 2.
16. Roger McQueen, C, Brandon Wheat Kings (WHL), 6-foot-5, 190 pounds
Starting the season with a four-goal game will surely get the hype train rolling, especially when you’re a 6-foot-5 center. Unfortunately for McQueen, he was injured just eight games into the year, and there’s been a bit of mystery around his injury to this point. He is expected back sometime in 2025, but whether that’s January or March is unclear.
McQueen has a size and skill combination that is incredibly attractive, but his pace is quite low, and his skating needs quite a bit of work. There are a number of times throughout the early season in which McQueen worked the puck up ice by dangling defenders and using his reach and hands to evade pressure, but his feet were generally stationary or not building speed throughout the process. He must build his overall mobility because if he does, there could be a very intriguing player here. The mystery of his game remains one of the biggest questions in the draft. If you remove the four-goal game, he’s a point-per-game player, which is good, but combined with the mobility issues, a top-five ranking is tough to swallow.
2025 NHL Draft: Biggest Standouts In Central Scouting’s Watch List
17. Caleb Desnoyers, C, Moncton Wildcats (QMJHL), 6-foot-1, 163 pounds
Although we may not be seeing the true return of the QMJHL as a whole, Desnoyers has looked quite solid this season. He’s asked to do a lot in Moncton, and he’s found a way to be a capable driver of play. He is at his best when playing with higher-end players and showcasing his ability to be a play connector and complementary asset to the line. Whether it was at the Hlinka-Gretzky, the World Men’s Under-18s or even the CHL USA Prospects Challenge, when Desnoyers can take a step back from being ‘The Guy,’ he becomes an incredibly solid playmaker with some two-way value.
NHL Draft: Three Stars Of Game 2 Of CHL USA Prospects Challenge
18. Braeden Cootes, C, Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL), Six-foot, 183 pounds
If you like players who play with pace and intensity, Cootes is your guy. He plays a strong 200-foot game because of his motor, allowing him to play up and down the lineup on any team he’s been a part of. On the underwhelming Thunderbirds, Cootes hasn’t been putting up eye-popping totals, but whenever you watch the team, you instantly know who their best player is. Cootes will improve as the team surrounds him with talent, but that just won’t be this year.
19. Blake Fiddler, D, Edmonton Oil Kings (WHL), 6-foot-3, 194 pounds
A big, right-shot defender who doesn’t try to be something that he’s not. Fiddler understands the nuances of the defensive game, and he blends his physicality with intelligent reads and quality stick work. There isn’t much flash or fancy play in his game, but Fiddler is the perfect safety blanket. Seeing him paired with Schaefer at the CHL USA Prospects Challenge gave a glimpse into what he could be as the defensive conscious on a pairing while still maintaining the ability to escape pressure and move the puck on the breakout.
The CHL USA Prospects Challenge Was Lopsided – But Totally Worth It
20. Melvin Novotny, LW/C, Leksand Jr. (Swe.), 6-foot-1, 187 pounds
There aren’t many viewings of Novotny where I’ve come away with a negative feeling about his game. He’s an excellent support player, and he never cheats his team for effort. Novotny has plenty of versatility because he can fit in with teammates of various skill sets, understands his role on a line and fills in the gaps. He can be a bit physical when on the forecheck, taking excellent routes and understanding where his outlets are. He uses his speed to pressure players defensively, and he does an excellent job of turning play around. He has a solid shot, and he connects on passes all over the offensive zone. Novotny isn’t some dynamo offensively, but he sure does find a way to make good things happen whenever he’s on the ice.
21. Cameron Reid, D, Kitchener Rangers (OHL), Six-foot, 174 pounds
One of the most interesting risers in the draft class, Reid has been one of the most improved players since the start of the season. His mobility and passing ability have always been strengths, but he’s learned to use them to his advantage in all three zones. Defensively, he’s become much quicker to close his gaps down and his fluidity in changing direction and getting to loose pucks is a major advantage he has. Reid is an excellent transition passer, patiently drawing in opposing players before zipping a pass right by them. Offensively, Reid has begun to move around more often and use his feet to capitalize on vacant space. He’s become the kind of player you can rely on in almost any situation.
22. Zeb Lindgren, D, Skelleftea Jr. (Swe.), 6-foot-2, 192 pounds
Unranked in many places, Zeb Lindgren is a relative unknown to many, but the Swedish defender brings an intriguing package of size, skating, and two-way instincts that could make him a sneaky good pick. Lindgren’s biggest issue currently is he isn’t aggressive enough offensively, even though he flashes the ability to make some high-level plays with the puck. His defensive game has some hiccups from time to time playing against men, but it’s usually due to a lost physical battle, which shouldn’t be the case as he develops physically. Lindgren could get way more run in the second half of the season.
23. Milton Gastrin, C/LW, Modo Jr. (Swe.), 6-foot-2, 179 pounds
The two-way play that Gastrin offers, combined with a growing offensive game, is something that NHL scouts value highly. Gastrin has never been the most purely skilled player, but he chains together solid play after solid play. He brings some dual-threat offensive ability, but he’s excelled as a passer when playing in the SHL. He’s been out of the lineup with a hand injury since mid-October, but with a return right around the corner, we should start to see his stock rise again.
24. Jake O’Brien, C, Brantford Bulldogs (OHL), 6-foot-2, 170 pounds
O’Brien took some time for me to come around on, but the playmaking that he brings to the game is just so dangerous. He can shred a defense in the offensive zone with his passing. He’s growing as a shooter, and his physical strength has become a factor as well. He’s learning to play through contact and throw a hit when the opportunity presents itself. He needs to get a bit more dynamic on his feet to take advantage of his puck skills, but there is a future where he is an important piece of an NHL power play and a solid middle-six forward.
25. Cole Reschny, C/RW, Victoria Royals (WHL), 5-foot-9, 161 pounds
There is so much to like about Reschny’s game. He is a silky smooth passer. He’s got a snappy wrister that pops off his stick at times. And he shows intuitive off-puck play as well. He’s a sneaky puck hound who pickpockets opponents as they try to break the puck out of their zone or up ice. Reschny’s biggest issue is that for a 5-foot-9 forward, he isn’t a dynamic skater, which is an important skill for players his size. If Reschny can amp up his skating, he could be a solid offensive-leaning middle-six forward with some positional versatility.
26. William Moore, C, U.S. NTDP (USHL), 6-foot-2, 161 pounds
At one point, Moore and Misa applied for exceptional status in the OHL. When Moore didn’t get it, he decided to go to the NTDP as a dual citizen. Moore has not had a great season so far, but he’s playing with an NTDP group that is as weak as it’s been in years. He is a very simple, dish-and-dash kind of player. Moore is at his best when working give-and-go’s or identifying passing lanes and hitting teammates streaking to the net. He moves well enough, but skating isn’t a strength. Moore is a bit of a project with the hope that in college, he will improve his mobility and take over games more often.
27. Adam Benak, C, Youngstown Phantoms (USHL), 5-foot-7, 157 pounds
Size is going to be the clear question with Benak, but the skill and passing are unreal at times. There are moments on offense when Benak can leave you in awe because of the way he sees the ice and the touch he has on his passing. He can feather the puck through traffic in a way that very few players can. When he is driving the middle of the ice, playing within the chaos of the slot and looking to get into high-danger situations off the puck, he can be a lethal player. There’s been some undesirable perimeter play in his game this year, though, and I’d love to see him correct that.
Humble NHL Draft Prospect Adam Benak Breaks Hlinka Gretzky Cup Record, Wins Second Silver
28. Bill Zonnon, LW, Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (QMJHL), 6-foot-2, 179 pounds
Zonnon plays a high-effort, high-physicality game that needs some refining in his skill, but he has a baseline that gives you the belief he can make strides. The way that Zonnon can pick up bad passes off his skates or get to the net and find pucks in a mess is impressive. His 1-on-1 skill offensively is where he needs improvement, but he always has his physicality and power to lean back on when needed. Zonnon isn’t likely won’t be a top-of-the-lineup player in the NHL, but as a complementary, physical forechecker who can keep up with higher-skill players, Zonnon could excel.
29. L.J. Mooney, RW, U.S. NTDP (USHL), 5-foot-6, 146 pounds
Although he was rushed back from an injury after missing almost two months, Mooney still deserves a mention in the top 32. His recent game action has shown some fairly uninspired perimeter playmaking, which isn’t what we’ve come to know Mooney for. Mooney’s size will be a question for every team in the NHL, but the dog-on-a-bone, attack-the-inside mindset he played with alleviated those concerns in many ways. Mooney excelled at being crafty on the cycle and as a net-driving presence earlier this season and last year, even at the U-18s, where he was the only U-17 player on the U.S. squad. If he can get back to his game, Mooney will be one of the more interesting draft eligibles this season.
30. Shane Vansaghi, C, Michigan State Univ. (NCAA), 6-foot-2, 207 pounds
After a bit of a slow start to his college career, Vansaghi has begun to hit his stride in the last month or so. His skating and pace are sometimes an issue, but neither is so bad that they are a major concern. Vansaghi’s game is built on working the cycle, winning puck battles, giving a relentless effort and making plays in traffic. His passing out of a scrum has been particularly notable as he gets into a board battle, wins the puck, holds off the defender and finds a teammate once they come free. Vansaghi plays simple – sometimes boring hockey – but that is what NHL teams want from their bottom six, and that’s where Vansaghi projects to go.
31. Viktor Klingsell, LW, Skelleftea Jr. (Swe.), 5-foot-10, 170 pounds
The flashes of high-end playmaking, manipulation and buttery smooth passing have made Klingsell one of my favorite players in the draft class. While his club production with Skelleftea has been good but not great, whenever Klingsell pulls on the Tre Kronor, he is a monster. His ability to slip pressure, work off teammates, fire pucks through defenders and set up plays in the slot in motion have all been impressive. There is a cerebral offensive element to his game that not many players possess. He needs to get a bit bigger and stronger, but his slippery game is predicated on him being agile and smooth on his feet.
32. Benjamin Kindel, RW, Calgary Hitmen (WHL), 5-foot-10, 176 pounds
Kindel has some of the most interesting passing ability in the draft, and his defensive game is positionally strong. He lacks physical strength, which affects his ability along the boards at times, specifically in the defensive zone, but there is a lot to like about his game on the rush and in the offensive zone. Kindel plays a simple north-south game, looking to create off the rush. Kindel has shown a bit more of a shooter mindset this year, surpassing his goal total from last year in about a third of the games. The biggest question about Kindel will be whether his physical tools will hold up moving forward.
