2025 NHL Mock Draft: Shocking Sleeper Picks and the Bruins’ Jaw-Dropping No. 7 Surprise Revealed
9. Buffalo Sabres: Porter Martone, RW, Brampton (OHL)
The Sabres could opt to take the best center available here, but with so many of them already off the board, a wing with Martone’s offensive and physical traits makes a lot of sense. He would likely be a good fit alongside Tage Thompson at some point.
10. Anaheim Ducks: Radim Mrtka, D, Seattle (WHL)
The Ducks are in the top 10 of the first round for the fifth straight year. Three of their previous four picks in this range were forwards, including Beckett Sennecke at No. 3 overall last year. With so many of the top forwards off the board, it would make the most sense for the Ducks to add a blue-chip defenseman prospect in Radim Mrtka. He plays a lot like Lightning star Victor Hedman.
