2025 NHL DRAFT PREVIEW

It’s here – our official 2025 NHL Entry Draft Preview episode!

Tune in as we start by going through the top 12 projected NHL Draft prospects, their profiles, where they’re likely to go, and if they could fall to Steve Yzerman and the Detroit Red Wings at pick 13 (full rankings and player list below) (3:00). Next, who’s projected to go at pick 13: a forward to help Dylan Larkin, Lucas Raymond, Alex DeBrincat, Marco Kasper, and Patrick Kane, or a defenseman to join Moritz Seider, Simon Edvinsson, Axel Sandin Pellikka, and Albert Johansson? (43:35) We also make our predictions as to who Steve Yzerman will select to be the latest Hockeytown prospect, opportunities to trade up, down, or away for a Jason Robertson or J.J. Peterka, what the top of the draft may have in store with the Islanders and Hagens being connected, and more (1:06:30).

Next, NHL news including the Mason Marchment trade, Trent Frederic’s confusing extension and whether Connor McDavid may actually leave the Edmonton Oilers and Connor McDavid, Brad Marchand, Sam Bennett, and the Florida Panthers’ Stanley Cup celebrations, the Jonathan Toews contract, and notes on Dobson, Marner, Knies, and more (1:17:05)!

All of that & plenty more before we take your questions and comments in our Overtime segment (1:33:25) – enjoy!
