NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling

I’ve got time for rugged and physical defenseman Malte Vass as a mid-round pick, even if I wouldn’t have taken him at No. 76 as well. He has a path to becoming a hard-to-play-against third-pairing D, and the real believers in him see a little Radko Gudas.

My favorite of their Day 2 picks was the Owen Griffin selection at No. 160, though. Griffin became an excellent junior hockey player this year, and while he was one of the final cuts for my top 100, I’ve seen him play a ton in Oshawa, and he has skill, drive, skating and a lot of what you should be betting on in an undersized late-rounder.
