NHL Draft 2025: The Surprising Positional Gaps That Could Reshape Every Team’s Future
Washington: Defenseman
Washington has drafted a forward with its last five first-round picks. The result is an organization full of skill up front, but lacking in quality depth on defense. It’s the Capitals’ clear biggest need entering the draft.
Winnipeg: Defenseman
Winnipeg has drafted a lot of forwards with its high picks in recent years. They, for the most part, are wingers, so I could buy center as a need here outside of Brayden Yager. Defense seems a slightly bigger priority, though, especially given Ville Heinola didn’t pan out.
