NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
Carter Klippenstein, their third fourth-rounder, has a path to becoming a fourth-liner if he develops well because of his athleticism, skating, size, strength and unending work ethic.
In Victoria Royals captain and overager Justin Kipkie, the Wild get one of the WHL’s better D last season. He may top out as an AHLer, but he’s going to play pro.
I thought the Wild did well with what they had.
Seattle Kraken
The Kraken have used all of their premium draft capital on forwards since they entered the league, but I still liked the decision to take Jake O’Brien at No. 8. He was the consensus No. 8 prospect in this class. They then went out and traded up to draft Blake Fiddler when he slipped out of the first round and was available on Day 2, and drafted a second D at No. 68 in Will Reynolds and a third one at No. 134 in Maxim Agafonov to begin to add some blue line depth.
