NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
The only pick they made that I felt was out of range was London forward Noah Read in the third round. I don’t see much there. They had a decent draft, though.

As I reported prior to the draft, Alexander Zharovsky’s name was hot coming out of Gold Star’s camp in Florida, and it looked like he was trending to be a late first/early second. The Habs pounced, moving up to take him at No. 34. Zharovsky is one of the most physically immature prospects in the draft, and some were scared off by just how much physical development he has in front of him. When you’ve got a long way to go, it can be viewed as a plus. When you’ve got a long, long way to go, some start to wonder if you’ll get there. Zharovsky is one of the most skilled players on the puck in the draft, though, and if he hits, he has top-six talent/point production upside.
