NHL Draft 2025 Revealed: Which Teams Nailed Their Picks and Who Missed Big?
I liked what Detroit did with its first few picks. Carter Bear projects as a top-six forward who brings legit skill and a high motor.

Washington did a solid job with the picks it had. Lynden Lakovic was a divisive, yet highly talented prospect who was a worthy gamble at 27.

I could see one, and potentially two players, come out of this crop.
