NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
Ottawa Senators
The Senators did well to move back a couple of spots and draft Logan Hensler where they did in the first round. His game lacks a bit of identity, but he has the tools to be a top-four two-way five-on-five D in the NHL who could contribute on both second special teams. Between Jake Sanderson, Carter Yakemchuk and Hensler, they’ve got a good mix of D to build around.
I thought the decision to take a swing on Minnesota high school standout Blake Vanek in the third round was a little early. He’s a big, north-south winger with some definite pro attributes and an NHL shot, but he’s going to have to take a lot of steps to get signed. They likely saw enough from his brief but strong showing with the Chicago Steel to believe he’s going to keep taking steps in Wenatchee in the WHL next season.
