NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
I’ll never fault a team for taking a goalie in the middle rounds, either. Once the top goalies in the draft were gone, and they were by No. 75, the big Michal Pradel was in that next tier and was a fine third-round pick. The Red Wings aren’t a team that’s desperate for young goalies either, so they must really like him.
My favorite pick for the Red Wings was Slovak forward Michal Svrcek in the fourth round. He was No. 70 on my board; they got him at No. 119, and I’ve yet to see him play a bad game. He attacks and scores against his peers, and I think they could look back on that pick like the Dmitri Buchelnikov one because I think he has legit skill and he’s an SHL/AHL top-sixer for sure.
