NHL Draft 2025 Shockers: Islanders Stun Experts, Maple Leafs’ Shocking Miss Leaves Fans Reeling
Peyton Kettles, who they took with their first pick of Day 2, is more of a late second than an early second for me, but was also viewed by the league in the range they took him. He’s a big, strong D who defends and skates well and has more of a puck game than his statistical profile suggests but won’t ever be a producer in the NHL. He has some projectable attributes, and the game is trending toward his type.
I liked the swing on Charlie Trethewey early in the third round. He was viewed as a potential first-round talent coming out of his U17 year at the program and then really struggled with the decision-making side of the game this year. He’s a standout athlete with a big shot and several pro attributes. If the reads on both sides of the puck can improve, there could be a player there.
