Inside the NHL Mock Draft 2025: Why Matthew Schaefer Could Be the Islanders’ Game-Changer No One Saw Coming
9. Buffalo Sabres: Brady Martin, C, Sault Ste. Marie (OHL)
The Sabres fell back two spots in the lottery, and that puts them in a trickier position. Swedish winger Victor Eklund was a strong consideration here, but the Sabres are missing a player like Brady Martin, who takes over games with his speed, work ethic and physicality. It’s typically wise to draft for skill at the top of the draft, and Martin has plenty of that. But that he brings a physical edge the Sabres need more of is a bonus. Roger McQueen and Carter Bear were also of interest, but the injuries make them riskier bets in the top 10. — Matthew Fairburn
