With the recent conclusion of the IIHF U18 World Championship and the NHL Draft Lottery results finalized, it`s time for an updated look at the top prospects for the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, set for June.
These updated rankings diverge from earlier versions, which relied primarily on statistical models. This iteration incorporates extensive live viewings, feedback from scouts, and a critical assessment of how each player`s style and abilities project to the NHL.
Several prospects significantly improved their standing due to strong performances, unique skill sets, and high potential. Conversely, some players saw their ranks decline because of questions regarding the translatability of their skills, inconsistencies in their projections, or concerns about their ability to perform effectively even when not at their best.
This draft class presents significant variability beyond a relatively settled top group. Following the consensus top two and two subsequent players, the rankings become wide open. Teams picking in the top 10 face a choice between players with a high probability of reaching a solid baseline but limited ceiling, and those with rare, exceptional potential but higher risk. These factors were weighed in creating this board, which should not be considered a mock draft.
Considering these factors, here are the top 32 prospects for the 2025 NHL Draft, plus some honorable mentions.
1. Matthew Schaefer
D, Erie Otters (OHL)
A dynamic two-way defenseman, Schaefer is envisioned as a cornerstone player. Standing 6-2, his effortless skating and agility allow him to effectively neutralize opponents one-on-one while also driving offense through excellent transition play. Scouts and executives widely regard him as a future elite NHL blueliner capable of anchoring a championship team. His ability to manage play from the back end, handle tough assignments, and quarterback a power play suggests he has the potential to be a top-10 defenseman in the league for years.
2. Michael Misa
C, Saginaw Spirit (OHL)
Misa, granted exceptional status in the OHL, delivered one of the most impressive goal-scoring seasons recently, netting 62 goals in just 65 games. He is confidently projected as a top-line forward with the capability to consistently exceed a point-per-game pace at the NHL level. His offensive instincts are elite; he processes the game at a high level and executes at high speed. Misa appears NHL-ready and has the potential to develop into an elite top-line center if his progress continues. His defensive game significantly improved this season, and combined with his explosive speed and offensive talent, Misa profiles as a foundational player for a Stanley Cup contender.
3. James Hagens
C, Boston College Eagles (NCAA)
A skilled center, Hagens is projected to be a top-line center or one of the NHL`s premier second-line centers. He brings a strong work ethic coupled with excellent speed and two-way ability, enabling him to effectively drive play at the NHL level. The professional nuances of his game, such as supporting the puck, winning battles, and defensive anticipation, will smooth his transition to the NHL while he enhances his offensive output. Hagens likely needs another season at Boston College to further develop his decision-making and add a more dynamic offensive dimension to become a top-line NHL center. His understanding of spacing and anticipation are particularly notable among his peers. His game shows elements of both Clayton Keller`s playmaking skill and Matty Beniers` two-way effectiveness.
4. Porter Martone
RW, Brampton Steelheads (OHL)
The 6-3 right winger is projected as a high-end second-line player possessing a competitive edge reminiscent of Corey Perry and Tom Wilson. As a large, physical forward, Martone offers a dual offensive threat, capable of both scoring himself and facilitating plays for teammates. His competitive nature makes him an effective agitator, willing to physically impose himself on opponents. To increase his effectiveness, he needs to refine his competitiveness and physicality and adjust his skating posture for greater efficiency. His unique blend of scoring ability, size, and hard skill makes him a very appealing prospect. While a top-six forward is his most likely projection, Martone has a genuine opportunity to become a top-line winger if his skating improves.
5. Roger McQueen
C, Brandon Wheat Kings (WHL)
One of the most debated prospects due to injury concerns – he played only 17 games this season – and his incredible natural talent. McQueen is described as a `unicorn` because he is a 6-5 center who skates with surprising speed and mobility for his size, despite some unconventional mechanics, which might be an adjustment to his growth. His projection as an elite top-line center is uncertain due to limited playing time. Elite right-handed centers are rare in the NHL, and McQueen’s size and willingness to physically dictate play add significant value. He exhibits professional defensive habits that are transferable to the NHL, alongside unique offensive potential. He represents a classic high-risk, high-reward scenario. McQueen needs to face tougher competition to develop his ability to protect himself and the puck, and create offense against larger opponents. If developed properly, he could become a formidable two-way force in the NHL.
6. Anton Frondell
C/RW, Djurgardens (Allsvenskan)
Frondell is a versatile two-way forward who plays both center and right wing. His adaptability is attractive to teams, although many anticipate he will best reach his potential as a winger in the NHL. Frondell is coming off one of the most productive seasons by an under-18 player in Allsvenskan history, giving him a confident projection as a first-line NHL forward. He is a cerebral player who effectively breaks down defenders in one-on-one situations and dissects defensive coverage in the offensive zone. The details of Frondell`s game are highly translatable, including excellent forechecking, a willingness to attack the middle of the ice, and high-end anticipation on both offense and defense. Frondell has demonstrated play-driving capabilities against senior-level competition in the Allsvenskan, a trait that has historically translated well to the NHL. He is projected to produce between 75 and 85 points per season. His playing style translates effectively, and executives are excited about his potential to enter the league within the next 18 months. His two-way ability combined with great anticipation and impressive puck skills make him one of the more intriguing prospects in the draft class.
7. Jackson Smith
D, Tri-City Americans (WHL)
Smith is a large, physical defenseman widely considered the second-best defender in this draft class. As a pure defender, Smith possesses all the necessary attributes for a top-four matchup role. He excels at defending against rushes, closing gaps effectively, and controlling play in transition. His offensive game began to show more development late in the season, and he had a strong showing at the IIHF under-18 tournament. Given the importance of transition defense in a shutdown role, Smith has a genuine chance to reach his projected ceiling as a No. 3 matchup defenseman. Smith combines skating ability, size, and composure. His development will focus on utilizing his excellent mobility to prevent rush opportunities, becoming a more consistent offensive contributor, and continuing to refine his decision-making. If Smith can effectively drive play on both ends of the ice in transition, he has the potential to become a No. 2 defenseman.
8. Victor Eklund
LW, Djurgardens (Allsvenskan)
Eklund is projected as a top-six forward with a good possibility of becoming a top-line contributor. Despite concerns about his size, Eklund`s play style is highly translatable to the NHL. He plays significantly bigger than his physical measurements suggest, displaying a high motor and excellent forechecking skills. Should he grow, as has happened with previous prospects, Eklund`s projection as a 70-point producer becomes more certain. Eklund excels in transition, attacking defenders with speed and fearlessness, driving towards the inside, and using his body to protect the puck and win battles. His smaller stature has compelled him to master puck protection through effective body positioning. His play away from the puck is very mature and should quickly earn the trust of NHL coaches. He possesses the potential to be a difference-maker in the NHL, and there is strong belief that his combination of hard-nosed play and soft skill will translate seamlessly.
9. Caleb Desnoyers
C, Moncton Wildcats (QMJHL)
Desnoyers might be selected higher than ninth overall because he is considered one of the draft`s best two-way players. He`s been described as a coach`s ideal player, capable of consistently executing both offensive and checking assignments. Desnoyers is projected to be a quality second-line center, with a solid chance of becoming a first-line player. He is a cerebral player with excellent playmaking ability. His game isn`t flashy or highlight-reel material; rather, he is consistently effective and makes intelligent decisions with the puck. In short, he is reliable. As one scouting director commented, “He`s the type of player you win with.” Some quiet comparisons have been made to Patrice Bergeron and Jonathan Toews.
10. Jake O`Brien
C, Brantford Bulldogs (OHL)
O`Brien is projected to be a point-producing top-six center with the potential to reach the first line. The right-handed center is one of the best playmakers in the draft, regularly creating high-danger scoring opportunities. O`Brien`s elite playmaking skills will be even more valuable if he can improve his speed. His two-way ability has steadily improved this season, demonstrated through better puck support, effective defensive tracking, and quality stick positioning. While he lacks dynamic skating, he plays a projectable two-way game. There is some risk due to his lighter frame compared to other centers available, but O`Brien should comfortably become a top-six point producer in the NHL.
11. Carter Bear
C/LW, Everett Silvertips (WHL)
Bear is the kind of player highly sought after by teams looking for high-end skill and playmaking ability. He is versatile and projected as a 65- to 75-point second-line player, with most anticipating he will play full-time winger. He is an excellent playmaker with good hands in tight spaces, making him a threat around the net and one of the draft`s best offensive facilitators. In addition to his offensive talent, Bear possesses professional defensive habits that will translate well. His skating posture needs to become more upright to allow for a more explosive stride that complements his skills. Bear offers a good balance of soft and hard skills with reliable defensive traits, profiling as an ideal second-line player who could thrive in a matchup role.
12. Brady Martin
C/W, Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds (OHL)
Martin has impressed scouts after an excellent performance at the IIHF under-18 tournament, where he recorded 11 points in seven games. He is a tireless worker who brings a combination of physicality and hard skill. Martin is projected as a middle-six forward capable of scoring 20 goals, with upside as a second-line forward. He`s a versatile “Swiss Army Knife” type player who will likely be most effective on the wing due to his strong wall play. Many top prospects become less effective if their top game isn`t present, but Martin consistently finds ways to contribute physically, a trait that is highly translatable. If his scoring doesn`t reach its highest potential, he will still be a valuable third-line player. His hard-nosed style is increasingly rare in today`s NHL, making Martin`s game appealing to many scouts who believe he is the kind of complementary player needed for playoff success.
13. Justin Carbonneau
RW, Blainville-Boisbriand Armada (QMJHL)
Carbonneau possesses a toolkit of desirable attributes, including powerful skating and a dynamic attacking presence. He is projected as a top-six forward with significant variability, likely ending up as a complementary middle-six player. Carbonneau can drive offense with his playmaking and skating ability. Although he lacks a single standout special talent, he plays a well-rounded offensive game that includes playing through contact, good puck skills, and a decent shot. Carbonneau is a player with high upside, and his projection carries inherent risk. He thrives with time and space; his development will involve learning to simplify his offensive attacks, driving to the middle of the ice, and playing effectively off his teammates. With a few years of development, he has the tools to become an effective power forward in the NHL.
14. Radim Mrtka
D, Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL)
A 6-6, right-handed defenseman with good mobility who plays in all situations is highly exciting to scouts. Mrtka is confidently projected as a top-four shutdown defenseman due to his excellent stick work, mobility, and transition defense. He is expected to develop into a strong transition defender, a reliable penalty killer, and a steady presence shorthanded. He currently lacks the offensive talent scouts typically desire in a top-pair defenseman, but his skating, size, and intelligence provide the foundation to develop into a dependable, high-minute shutdown defender. His late birthday offers significant development time to refine his offensive playmaking, first passes, and overall understanding of how to best leverage his physical gifts.
15. Logan Hensler
D, Wisconsin Badgers (NCAA)
The 6-2 defender is projected as a second-pairing defenseman with reasonable confidence. Hensler is very hard to beat one-on-one because he moves well and maintains good gap control. He lacks a dynamic offensive trait, but he has shown promise when activating in the rush. There are glimpses of offensive skill, such as head fakes and using his mobility to beat players, which, if developed, would be crucial to solidifying his role as a two-way defenseman. Hensler is a longer-term project who likely needs three years before he is ready to make an impact in the NHL. His ability to make decisions under pressure and consistently execute quality plays will determine his outcome as a high-end prospect. There are many positive aspects to his game; his mobility and transition defense are expected to translate well, but he currently lacks the high-end offensive upside seen in some other defenders in the draft class.
16. Lynden Lakovic
LW, Moose Jaw Warriors (WHL)
The 6-4 left winger possesses translatable scoring ability and excellent speed for his size. He attacks opponents using his large frame to protect the puck and creates plays with good deception. He has the potential to become a dual-threat winger if he can develop his playmaking and decision-making skills. Lakovic is projected as a middle-six winger with fair confidence, primarily due to his scoring ability, speed, and size. Lakovic`s development will focus on enhancing his physicality and decision-making. He needs to lean on defenders and drive towards the middle of the ice to capitalize on his quick hands and shot. Lakovic has solid offensive upside that confidently projects to the NHL, with the potential to reach 60 points.
17. Braeden Cootes
C, Seattle Thunderbirds (WHL)
A right-handed center, Cootes was a standout performer at the under-18 world championships. He is projected as a middle-six player valuable on both sides of the puck. His likely floor is a third-line checking center, similar to Yanni Gourde. Cootes possesses excellent speed that enables him to dictate pace and drive play. He anticipates the game at a high level, allowing him to leverage his speed at even strength and on the penalty kill. Cootes has a longer development path and needs to gain strength to fully become a quality NHL center. His relentless pursuit of the puck and strong playmaking qualities make him a desirable asset in this year`s draft. There is much to admire in his skill set, and with patient development, he could become a solid second-line contributor.
18. Kashawn Aitcheson
D, Barrie Colts (OHL)
There is a strong possibility that Aitcheson could be selected in the top 10 given his playing style, but his projection as a No. 4/5 defender places him below players with higher offensive upside. Aitcheson plays with significant intensity and aggression, while exuding confidence both with and without the puck. He has all the qualities to be a formidable presence who handles tough minutes and projects as a No. 4 defender. Scouts see him as a tough, two-way defender with substantial bite who can shift momentum with his physical presence. He requires development time, as his skating and playmaking are still raw, but his competitive attributes and his development trajectory this season are very promising. Aitcheson`s offensive involvement grew as the season progressed, but he is likely two or three years away from being NHL-ready. When he does arrive, he is exactly the kind of defender every coach and GM would desire on their team.
19. Cameron Schmidt
RW, Vancouver Giants (WHL)
While size is not the sole determinant, it is exceptionally rare for a player under 5-9 to make the NHL. I anticipate Schmidt will be drafted lower than 19th, largely because he is 5-7. However, other evaluation models consistently rate Schmidt as a top-15 player, with boom-or-bust potential as a second-line winger. He possesses exceptional speed and excellent puck-handling abilities, making him a dangerous offensive threat. Scoring 40 goals in the WHL is a difficult feat, achieved this season by only three players under 19: Schmidt, Gavin McKenna, and Carter Bear. Schmidt has great offensive instincts but needs to be more efficient with his play choices to translate successfully to the NHL. He can be somewhat of a pest and engage physically, but to reach his ceiling, he must improve his off-puck play and become more consistently impactful on every shift.
20. Benjamin Kindel
RW, Calgary Hitmen (WHL)
Kindel had impressive numbers in the WHL, recording 99 points in 65 games. The right winger possesses remarkable skill and excellent hockey sense. Kindel projects as a middle-six player, most likely slotting in as a third-line winger. He doesn`t have explosive top speed but is agile and difficult to contain due to his evasive style. He needs to refine how he utilizes his skill, as it currently lacks a dynamic element. Adding strength will significantly help in improving puck protection and his ability to drive to the middle of the ice to create scoring chances. Defensively, Kindel provides tremendous value. He forechecks and backchecks effectively, blocks lanes, and wins a fair share of puck battles. There is real value as a checker and penalty killer that will translate to the NHL level. He consistently competes hard on pucks and makes it difficult for opponents with his pace. If his scoring translates, he will likely be a 50-point, two-way player. If not, a 40-point, two-way checker who is also a plus penalty killer will be a valuable complementary piece in the NHL.
21. Cameron Reid
D, Kitchener Rangers (OHL)
A slender defenseman, Reid is a fast and agile skater who consistently joins the rush. Reid has the potential to become a top-four defender if he can develop his offensive traits, particularly his playmaking. His skating enables him to create time and space, evade forecheckers, and put opposing defenders in challenging situations. The next step is for him to effectively use the space and lanes he generates to facilitate offense more efficiently. Defensively, Reid is an excellent rush defender thanks to his outstanding skating ability and good stick work. He guides players to the outside with his stick and uses his skating to disrupt rushes. In the defensive zone, his stick timing is superb for lifting opponents` sticks, deflecting shots, and blocking passing lanes. The upside is present due to his skating, and reaching a top-four level requires patient development.
22. Cole Reschny
LW, Victoria Royals (WHL)
Reschny may rise higher on draft boards by the time the draft arrives after a standout performance at the under-18 world championships. No player has seen their stock rise as much as Reschny in the latter half of the season, largely due to his offensive production in the WHL playoffs. Reschny`s projection has elevated from a less certain third-line player to a relatively confident middle-six player. He isn`t as dynamically flashy as his point totals might suggest, but his anticipation and reads are among the best in the draft class. He isn`t large but is effective when he physically engages and understands how to play through contact. His development will involve adding speed and strength to complement his two-way ability and become a versatile “Swiss Army Knife” type player in the NHL capable of scoring 50 points.
23. Cullen Potter
LW, Arizona State Sun Devils (NCAA)
Potter had a strong freshman season in the NCAA, especially considering he didn`t turn 18 until halfway through the campaign. He showed consistent progress, culminating in a standout performance at the under-18 world championships. His speed is already at the NHL level, making him one of the best skaters in the draft class. He understands how to effectively use his skating to pressure opponents, drive the pace of play, and create offense. He looks to drive to the middle of the ice, makes plays at top speed, and recognizes when to delay on the rush to allow plays to develop. Potter is a dynamic skater with flashes of dynamic skill. His play away from the puck, both offensively and defensively, improved dramatically this season, leading to him becoming a play driver. He has boom-or-bust potential, but if he reaches his ceiling, he projects as a top-six player. The confidence in his projection has steadily increased this season, and with two more NCAA seasons, Potter should be one of the best players at the collegiate level before signing his entry-level NHL contract.
24. Malcolm Spence
LW, Erie Otters (OHL)
Spence falls out of the top half of the first round largely because other players have surpassed him, but his lack of explosiveness combined with non-elite production has impacted his projection. His relentless work ethic, tenacity, and two-way ability give him a high floor as an NHL regular. His limited play-driving ability and playmaking cap his upside as a third-line forward. He isn`t flashy in any aspect but is highly effective. He is one of the most defensively sound forwards in the draft, understanding how to forecheck effectively to create turnovers. His tenacity will translate well, and his shot is good enough to be a threat from close range. Coaches appreciate this type of player on their third lines during the playoffs, and Spence should develop into a solid complementary piece in the NHL.
25. Ivan Ryabkin
C, Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL)
Ryabkin is a heavily debated prospect, appearing inconsistently on draft boards. Depending on who you ask, feedback ranges from a potential second-line player to someone who might not make the NHL at all. This explains the variance in his projection. He is most likely to become a depth NHL player, but there is a fair chance he develops into a middle-six, physical presence capable of scoring 15 to 20 goals. When he is at his best, his upside is clear. He is crafty, identifying passing lanes and delivering accurate passes to set up scoring chances. When Ryabkin uses his skating to drive to the middle of the ice and create passing lanes, he is very effective. His physicality on both sides of the puck should help him develop into a good checking-line player, with some creative scoring potential if he can improve puck protection and battle skills in high-traffic areas.
26. Joshua Ravensbergen
G, Prince George Cougars (WHL)
It is rare for a goaltender to be a consensus first-rounder, but Ravensbergen holds that distinction. Teams are impressed by his 6-5 frame with long limbs and good flexibility. He is able to cover significant portions of the net, and his puck tracking allows him to anticipate plays and aggressively angle. His lateral movement is explosive yet controlled, preventing over-sliding or excessive activity. He is sharp within his crease, calmly directing pucks and communicating effectively with his defensemen regarding coverage. Ravensbergen, like many young goaltenders and even some NHLers, has issues with layered screens. However, his elite puck tracking enables him to stay one step ahead of the play, minimizing erratic movements. This contributes to the sense of calmness scouts observe, a trait that will serve him well as he strives to become an NHL starter.
27. Blake Fiddler
D, Edmonton Oil Kings (WHL)
There`s a possibility that Fiddler could be drafted higher, given he is a right-handed defenseman with NHL bloodlines – his father Vernon played 877 NHL games – and possesses an NHL-sized frame at 6-4, 210 pounds. As scouts and executives often say, “Those guys don`t grow on trees,” and Fiddler fits that description. He is a strong defender, effectively limiting opponents` time and space and making physical battles difficult for them. He is strongly projected as an NHL player with the potential to become a No. 4 defenseman. Within scouting circles, there is belief he could develop into a second-pairing defender due to his long development path and physical playing style, which should translate well. Fiddler`s decision-making could improve, but he is always actively involved and can be coached to make more effective reads. His desire to be a difference-maker and his combination of good skating, physical play, and size are appealing to teams. He is a project player who will likely require three to four years of development to simplify his game and become an effective NHL defenseman.
28. Jack Murtagh
C/LW, U.S. National Team Development Program
The 6-1 versatile forward is expected to provide value towards the end of the first round. Murtagh is confidently projected as an NHL player, and scouts appreciate his non-flashy, high-motor game. He consistently puts in effort, plays at a high pace, and is physically engaged. He is most likely to become a third-line forward, a role that suits his game style of being strong on the puck, winning battles, and creating chaos around the net. Attending Boston University will benefit his overall development, particularly offensively. Murtagh has good playmaking ability, though it lacks creativity or dynamism. He is a hard-skill player, grinding his way to scoring chances in tough areas and out-battling opponents. This approach won`t always work against NHL defenders, meaning developing some creativity and the ability to manipulate defenders will be crucial for translating offense and becoming a well-rounded, two-way forward in the NHL.
29. Sascha Boumedienne
D, Boston University Terriers (NCAA)
Boumedienne played over half of his freshman NCAA season as a 17-year-old, making him the youngest player in the NCAA this season. His total of 13 points in 40 games isn`t typical for a potential first-round pick, but against his peers at the under-18s, Boumedienne set a scoring record for defensemen and was named the tournament`s best defender. His skating mechanics have improved, leading to more explosive movements and the potential for more agile movements in transition. He is an offensive driver, facilitating scoring chances by manipulating defenders, moving his feet, and creating passing lanes. When he gets the opportunity, his slap shot possesses significant power and should become a weapon in the NHL. Boumedienne`s defensive transition game will need to improve for him to reach his ceiling as a second-pairing defender. Currently, he can effectively run a power play, initiate breakouts with clean passes, and generate offense. His agility and ability to defend the middle of the ice need to develop to match his defensive capability on the perimeter. He has a good stick and is most disruptive when he engages physically. Improving his anticipation and reads will be critical to reaching his potential.
30. Jack Nesbitt
C, Windsor Spitfires (OHL)
Nesbitt has climbed draft boards in the latter half of the season, and for good reason. The 6-4 center brings a physical, defensive presence and is confidently projected to be an NHL player. His upside continues to grow with flashes of one-on-one skill and the speed to drive and create in the middle of the ice. There is a less certain projection as a top-nine player; Nesbitt could develop into a checking center with 40-point potential. His defensive play excites scouts because his scanning, shot-blocking, lane-filling, and tracking skills to force turnovers under pressure are all transferable to the NHL. Scouts are confident Nesbitt will be an effective player in the NHL and agree he will need to demonstrate more offensive playmaking ability to provide value on both sides of the puck.
31. William Moore
C, U.S. National Team Development Program
Moore`s placement varies significantly on draft boards – from the mid-20s to the third round – because he is a long-term project, exactly the type of player teams drafting late in the first round often target. Moore blends hard-skill and soft-skill elements and needs to determine his dominant play style. He is projected as an NHL player with an outside chance of becoming a middle-six player if he can enhance his offensive toolkit. He possesses creativity and the skill to execute, manipulating defenders and playing with pace, and picks pucks off the wall easily. However, he lacks consistency. His compete level and willingness to engage physically show potential as a power forward. He has reliable two-way abilities that will translate well and will further develop as he stops on pucks, physically engages defensively, and gains strength to improve in puck battles and playing through contact.
32. Bill Zonnon
LW, Rouyn-Noranda Huskies (QMJHL)
Zonnon is a raw prospect that some team in the late first round will be thrilled to acquire. He checks all the boxes, featuring a high-end motor, elite work ethic, and playmaking abilities. The big forward is confidently projected as an NHL player with a fair chance of becoming a third-liner. Scouts view him as having a high floor due to his translatable “intangibles” and a long runway to develop his raw skill. He is already a reliable, 200-foot player, and scouts admire his relentless, never-quit effort. If his skating improves, he will become a very effective two-way player, relying on his awareness, playmaking, and competitiveness to provide value on both sides of the puck. He is most likely to be a winger, excelling with strong wall play and battle skills. He can develop into a prototypical hard-skill player that teams deploy on the third line to shut down opponents and rely upon in all situations. He is likely three years away and would benefit from NCAA time to develop his skating and offensive abilities.
