NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
They tripled down on adding size with Carter Amico at No. 38. Amico was viewed as a potential first-rounder entering the year, but comes with some risk now after losing almost the entirety of his draft year. He is huge and can move and defend, though.
I liked the Jack Murtagh pick two spots later and the Shane Vansaghi and Matthew Gard picks a little behind that in the second round as well. Murtagh is a strong, physically mature goal-scoring winger who loves to put the puck in the net and adds a potential middle-six scorer to their pool. Vansaghi is one of the strongest, heaviest forwards in the class and projects safely as a future bottom-sixer. Gard is a 6-5 forward who skates really well. He needs to show more offense but has a pretty translatable bottom-six profile to work with.
