NHL Draft Grades: Instant analysis of every team's picks
The 2025 NHL Draft is complete, and we're handing out grades to each team for their prospect haul.Jump to:Atlantic | Central | Metropolitan | Pacific!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}(); Pick No. Player Pos. Team League 7 James Hagens C Boston College NCAA 51 William Moore C NTDP USHL 61 Liam Pettersson LHD Vaxjo Jr. Sweden Jr. 79 Cooper Simpson LW Shakopee HS-MN 100 Vashek Blanar LHD Troja-Ljungby Jr. Sweden Jr. 133 Cole Chandler C Shawinigan QMJHL 165 Kirill Yemelyanov C Yaroslavl Jr. MHL The Bruins overhauled their future center depth by snagging Hagens and then Moore on Day 2. Hagens was the projected top pick entering the draft cycle, and though he didn't reach the same heights as Macklin Celebrini and Adam Fantilli as an NCAA freshman, he still has legit first-line potential with speed and intelligence. Hagens falling to No. 7 is a massive win for the Bruins. Moore is great value in the back half of the second round after a near point-per-game campaign with the NTDP.!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}(); Pick No. Player Pos. Team League 9 Radim Mrtka RHD Seattle WHL 71 David Bedkowski RHD Owen Sound OHL 103 Matous Kucharcik C Slavia Jr. Czechia Jr. 116 Samuel Meloche G Rouyn-Noranda QMJHL 135 Noah Laberge LHD Acadie-Bathurst QMJHL 167 Ashton Schultz C Chicago USHL 195 Melvin Novotny LW Leksand Jr. Sweden Jr. 199 Yevgeni Prokhorov G Dinamo-Shinnik Jr. MHL 219 Ryan Rucinski C Youngstown USHL Mrtka has top-four shutdown potential with his 6-foot-6 frame and impressive skating ability. He can move the puck too, even if he isn't the most creative player. Bedkowski is also huge at 6-foot-5 and plays a mean game.!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}(); Pick No. Player Pos. Team League 13 Carter Bear LW Everett WHL 44 Eddie Genborg RW Linkoping SHL 75 Michal Pradel G Tri-City USHL 109 Brent Solomon RW Champlin Park HS-MN 119 Michal Svrcek LW Brynas Jr. Sweden Jr. 140 Nikita Tyurin LHD Spartak Jr. MHL 172 Will Murphy LHD Cape Breton QMJHL 204 Grayden Robertson-Palmer C Phillips Andover HS-MA Bear's tenacity and competitiveness are standout traits. He has top-six upside as a fun complementary winger. He sustained a partially lacerated Achilles in March but is expected to be ready for training camp. Pradel is a 6-foot-5 goalie who moved to the USHL midseason from Slovakia and showed promise as a potential future starter.!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}(); Pick No. Player Pos. Team League 112 Mads Kongsbak Klyvo LW Frolunda Jr. Sweden Jr. 128 Shea Busch LW Everett WHL 129 Shamar Moses RW North Bay OHL 192 Arvid Drott RW Djurgarden Jr. Sweden Jr. 197 Brendan Dunphy LHD Wenatchee WHL 224 Yegor Midlak G Spartak Jr. MHL The Stanley Cup champ was the last team to make its first pick in the draft. Kongsbak Klyvo has some intriguing offensive tools to go with a strong 6-foot-2 frame. He was impactful for Denmark at multiple tournaments this year. Drott is on the younger side of the draft and had a productive campaign in Sweden's junior league.!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}(); Pick No. Player Pos. Team League 34 Alexander Zharovsky RW Ufa Jr. MHL 69 Hayden Paupanekis C Kelowna WHL 81 Bryce Pickford RHD Medicine Hat WHL 82 Arseni Radkov G Tyumen Jr. MHL 113 LJ Mooney C NTDP USHL 145 Alexis Cournoyer G Cape Breton QMJHL 177 Carlos Handel RHD Halifax QMJHL 189 Andrew MacNiel RHD Kitchener OHL 209 Maxon Vig LHD Cedar Rapids USHL It's another strong draft for Kent Hughes and Co. after dealing their two first-round picks for immediate help in Noah Dobson and trading up to snag a fun winger with top-six upside in Zharovsky. He has some of the best hands in the draft and a projectable frame at 6-foot-1.Paupanekis brings size down the middle, though his production trailed off this campaign. Pickford had a huge season after being passed over last year, notching 13 goals and 24 points in 18 playoff games from the back end. Mooney is tiny at 5-foot-8, but it's easy to justify that bet on offensive talent at 113th overall.!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}(); Pick No. Player Pos. Team League 23 Logan Hensler RHD Wisconsin NCAA 93 Blake Vanek RW Stillwater HS-MN 97 Lucas Beckman G Baie-Comeau QMJHL 149 Dmitri Isayev LW Yekaterinburg Jr. MHL 181 Bruno Idzan LW Lincoln USHL 213 Andrei Trofimov G Magnitogorsk Jr. MHL Hensler was good value at No. 23, especially after the Senators traded down a couple of picks. He's a well-rounded defender with complementary top-four upside thanks to his skating ability. Vanek, the son of Thomas, had a big season in Minnesota high school and is headed to the WHL next year. Isayev is listed at just 148 pounds, but he had a quality season in Russia and has the speed and skill to become a player if he fills out. Idzan is a very fun pick as the first Croatian ever taken in the NHL draft. He was a stud in the USHL and has a chance to become a top-nine contributor.!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}(); Pick No. Player Pos. Team League 56 Ethan Czata C Niagara OHL 108 Benjamin Rautiainen C Tappara Liiga 127 Aiden Foster C Prince George WHL 151 Everett Baldwin RHD St. George's HS-RI 193 Caleb Heil G Madison USHL 206 Roman Luttsev C Yaroslavl Jr. MHL 212 Grant Spada LHD Guelph OHL 215 Marco Mignosa RW Sault Ste. Marie OHL Czata is a lanky center with good skill and a strong competitor. The Lightning have had success developing players of his ilk. Rautiainen excelled in the Finnish pro league this year with 33 points in 50 games as a rookie, and he featured for Finland at the world juniors. He's closer to playing pro games in Tampa's organization at 20 years old.!function(){"use strict";window.addEventListener("message",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data["datawrapper-height"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll("iframe");for(var t in a.data["datawrapper-height"])for(var r,i=0;r=e[i];i++)if(r.contentWindow===a.source){var d=a.data["datawrapper-height"][t]+"px";r.style.height=d}}}))}(); Pick No. Player Pos. Team League 64 Tinus Luc Koblar C Leksand Jr. Sweden Jr. 86 Tyler Hopkins C Kingston OHL 137 William Belle RW NTDP USHL 153 Harry Nansi RW Owen Sound OHL 185 Rylan Fellinger RHD Flint OHL 217 Matthew Hlacar LW Kitchener OHL Koblar, a Slovenian-born center who represents Norway, is a very raw prospect. He's got room for physical development, but he's a long shot who will need significant offensive improvement to become the top-nine contributor a team hopes to land in the second round. He does have good hands in tight.After a reach at No. 64, the Leafs got good value in Hopkins at No. 86. He's a center with good size, skill, and offensive upside, and he plays with pace. Belle is a massive winger, and Nansi is one of the youngest players in the draft.Jump to:Atlantic | Central | Metropolitan | Pacific
