2025 NHL Draft Shockers: Islanders’ Surprising No. 1 Pick Matthew Schaefer Sparks Debate and Drama
8. Seattle Kraken — Jake O’Brien, C, Brantford (OHL)
At 6-foot-2, O’Brien brings a little length down the middle, and he has shown great playmaking ability. O’Brien’s awareness and vision is exceptional, and his 66 assists were seventh in the OHL last season. Of course, he has some scoring touch too, tallying 32 goals in addition to all those helpers. O’Brien clocked in at just 172 pounds, so he will need to fill out that long frame, but the Kraken just added an exciting center to their prospect pool.
