NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
The Mace’o Phillips selection at No. 80 was a head-scratcher for me. I’m sure they see a towering physical menace and special athlete who can move and think he could become a fearsome third-pairing option for them someday. But he really struggles to handle and move the puck and I’ve seen him have too many bad games and moments over the last couple of years to see it. He’s definitely different from the other D they have!

My favorite Day 2 Flames pick was the selection of St. Andrew’s College forward Aidan Lane at No. 176. They found good value in Aydar Suniev, another SAC player who had legit skill and scoring but needed to improve his skating. Suniev scored 20 goals as a sophomore at UMass last year and has already been signed. I think Lane, No. 74 on my board, could follow a similar path at Harvard. He just needs the skating to improve.
