NHL Draft 2025 Revealed: Which Teams Nailed Their Picks and Who Missed Big?
Read the full analysis of the Canadiens’ draft class here.
The Canucks’ first pick, Braeden Cootes, is a player I’m a fan of, and I think he has the potential to be a second-line center in the NHL who plays a desirable style. After that, I was lukewarm on their Day 2 picks. Alexei Medvedev is a talented goalie, but for his size and limited sample of ice time, 47 was a bit early for me. Prep kids from St. Andrews College are always a tough evaluation (see Dean Letourneau last season). I respect some of the things Kieren Dervin does, but 65 was also a bit early for me given the risks in his projection.
