NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
Caleb Heil hasn’t quite met expectations after he was once viewed as one of the better goalie prospects in a weaker American goalie class, but there are some who still think he’s a better goalie than his numbers indicate.
Overager Roman Luttsev absolutely lit up the MHL this season and has legit skill on the puck.
There’s not a lot to get excited about in the Lightning’s class, though.
Dallas Stars
The Stars didn’t make their first pick until No. 94, but in typical Stars fashion, they didn’t shy away from targeting a talent that others couldn’t quite get there on in Cameron Schmidt. Schmidt is one of the best skaters and shooters in this class, and guys who get top grades in two different attributes in an age group are almost never available in the third round. Schmidt, who is listed at 5-foot-7.25 and can frustrate with his shot selection and body language at times, was available, and the team that took Logan Stankoven took him. Despite the challenges players his size face, I think he’s more likely to become an NHLer than a number of the other players who were taken in the third round. He might score 50 in the WHL next year.
